How many Nazis were left guarding the grenade supply in the U.S. Army during World War II?

Get your facts straight.

The political enemy we are fighting in Iraq is the Ba'ath Party. They are not a religion; they are an outgrowth of mid-Twentieth Century fascism (in fact, IIRC they were created in Mosul when Iraq was a Nazi puppet state).

Islam is a RELIGION, practiced by more than a billion people worldwide.

Do not confuse the two.

Hmm. Don't remember the dozens of American traitors who came from the U.S. but, in American uniforms, helped pave the way for the Nazis in the Battle of the Bulge?

Nahhh. Couldn't be that we are competent. Hell no. Just crushed the "invincible" Soviet Empire without, really, firing a shot; stomped the vaunted "Republican Guard" in 1991; and now are on schedule to stuff Saddam's remains into a grenade launcher---all while launching major offensives against Al-Quaeda in Afghanistan. Yep, that's surely a sign of an inept nation.

Note to "recent history" buffs, from another post . . .

Mrs. Wasp and I were just discussing the fact that after Gulf War I, we stood by while both the Kurds and the Shiites got such a Saddam blood baath . . .
