Bump!

[Robert DeLong]

Reality is a bitter pill to swallow. Hehehe

[prairiebreeze]

Quite a few Arab arm-chair generals exist too, it seems.

Prairie

[Nachum]

Sounds like they are rooting for their favorite sports team.

[najida]

I think the bright light of truth is dawning and they all forgot their sunglasses.

He he he....

[Bluntpoint]

Sounds just like the posters on Democratic Underground.

Quite a few Arab arm-chair generals exist too, it seems.

And, it seems theirs aren't much better than some of ours, either.

[fatrat]

ha! Saddam has his armchair generals too.

[EternalVigilance]

Their payment for believing a word the 'Arab press' says.

A military expert later wondered why the Iraqi army had not concentrated on attacking the allies' supply lines

They already did that remember? It bogged us down long enough for our soldiers to get some sleep.

Won't need supply lines anymore now that the Baghdad Airport will become the main staging ground around Baghdad.

[Dog Gone]

"Saddam led the attack to retake the airport"

Cool.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

This can't possibly be true. Iraq's Minister of Information said that the American attack on Baghdad Airport was brutally defeated and the American coalition forcess were chased away from Baghdad. He wouldn't lie, would he?

Armchair Arabs seek US Media employment opportunities...LOL

[Free ThinkerNY]

They had better prepare themselves for more disappointments. Iraq is just the beginning.

These people are shocked, shocked, and shocked that yellow belly cowards and thugs turn tail and run when confronted with a superior force. Saddam's military was awesome in slaughtering defenseless civilians but proved outmatched and outclassed when it came up against the world's finest military in the U.S and U.K armies. The Arabs to use an expression, should take their heads out of the sand they've buried them in for a moment and face reality. As long as the Arabs blame others for their own failure to join the 21st century with the rest of the world, they'll never amount to anything. Its time for them to stop pining after dictators and grow up and behave like adults.

Reminds me of the joke:

An Arab, an American Indian, and a cowboy were sitting in a waiting area. The cowboy was leaning back, his hat shielding his face as he napped.

The Indian looked out the window and sighed. "My people were once many, and now we are few."

There was a moment of silence. Then the Arab smiled and said, "Once my people were few, and now we are many. Now why do you think that is, infidel?"

Another moment of silence. Then the cowboy, from beneath his hat, said, "'Cause we ain't played cowboys and A-rabs yet, podner."

[dennisw]

Saddam still might use bio/chem. and make his legions of Muslim admirers wet their panties. Saddam will kill many more of his own Muslims in the process but this will be blamed on the Americans/British. They made him do it. Islamics always blaming the other.
