The influence of the MOAB.

I'm just a simple ol' Army Officer, but even I know that if you shake your gun more than three times - that's no longer business; it's pleasure:-D

Shock // awe ! !

Much of the world worried that when Saddam Hussein fell from power, Kurds would seize the oil-rich city Kirkuk. Instead, Thursday, it was a jubilant mix of people - Kurds and Arabs, Turkmen and Assyrians, Christians and Muslims - who took over the city and celebrated the downfall of the regime.

Very good news.

Which was the whole point of racing to Baghdad instead of clearing out all the cities along the way first. Once Baghdad fell only idiots or foreign terrorists were willing to continue fighting.

If we had followed the strategy the Soviet advisors expected, we would have bombed heavily for weeks before starting the ground war. Then we would have taken all the cities along the way to Baghdad.

I wonder what price Nancy Pelosi would have "paid" for this day? I hope she keeps digging the Democraps to the earth's core.

I have seen a Marine call his rifle a gun. And then have to stand on his foot locker and sing:"
This is my rifle and
this is my gun
my rifle is for killing and
my gun is for fun"

This is actually a nice wake-up call for all of us. We've been riding high....soaring through the clouds, yesterday and today. This SHOULD bring us a much needed dose of the fight we have ahead of us.

They're dirtycheatingrottenunderhandedpeople. And we need to never ever forget it.

[Brad’s Gramma]

It was meant for the Pelosi thread.
