We are not alone, after all.

As of this week, there were 136,000 U.S. troops and 22,000 troops from 28 countries in Iraq.  That's right.  Twenty-eight.  Not two. Not three.  Not ten.  Dutch and Italian forces are currently assisting at Tallil - where Chromey is stationed - and are taking on more responsibilities.  Why then the talk of needing an Official UN Permission Slip? If I understand the so-called predicament correctly, the US is seeking a UN mandate in order to say it's 'OK' for everyone to actually be there in an attempt to make the more faint-at-heart countries feel warm and squishy about sending troops to Iraq.  But the UN doesn't want to play unless they can put A Very Important UN Person in charge of operations. Like THAT'S ever gonna happen.  Call me extreme, but if the UN were in control of US troops, the first thing they'd do is take all the bullets out of all the guns.  Soldiers might as well lay down and die.  I'm not kidding. Can you imagine all the political correctness that would go on there?  What a nightmare. Then out of nowhere, France has the gall to open it's big fat shamefaced mouth to suggest that Iraq could fall into 'anarchy' unless all power is transferred to UN authority.  Hello.  France needs to just sit it's pathetic derriere down and shut up.  They have their own major catastrophe to deal with.  This is what happens as a result of socialism.  Even Chirac has admitted the shortcomings in their health organization.  How does the death of 10,000 elderly go completely unnoticed by an entire country - until it's too late?  Where was I?  Oh yes, the UN. The only reason why the UN exists is to seek enough power to rival the US as a superpower. That's it.  Nothing else.  Human Rights and all that preposterous hoo haa they claim they do for the world?  Just a front to appear legitimate. Don't even get me started.

It's high time we got the US out of the UN.

Arrrrrrgh! guagmire = quagmire

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

That, too, lol! How 'bout, GAG-mire, noun: modern day press coverage of any war where America proves itself to be a decent, strong, SUPER-power.

Pro-Coalition/anti-wanker ... Bump!

[boxerblues]

Woohoo!! nothing like telling it like it is

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Check the source link, boxer. The left is peeved at a Taco Bell poll. (^: The California candidate cards are a hoot, too.

She links FR. Say "hello" in case Mrs. Chromedome, or her equally awesome husband (currently stationed somewhere nr or in Tallil) wander across this thread.

[SAMWolf]

LOL!

[Maximus_Ridiculousness]

Thanks for the support, guys (and gals).

Let's see, the UN let a million Rwandans be butchered by machete.

The U.S. led a coalition of the willing in the liberation of 25 million from a blood-thirsty tyrant.

Now we are transforming an enslaved nation into a democratic one, not unlike our action in Germany and Japan.

The UN puts Libya and Iraq in charge of human rights and disarmament.

What is the likelihood that we will evict the UN and make the building into a nice, big USO?

Greater with each passing day.

You are so welcome. You need support, a place to rant, share a story, ask for help with care packages - or just find a really good shoulder to cry on - this is the place. FR is full of goodhearted people praying for our troops. We KNOW the caliber of the men (and women) serving in Iraq. Besides, their spouses and parents wouldn't let us forget it. (^;

Thank you for sharing your husband's war 'diary'. Great job with the website.

I forgot the picture that goes with your terrific rant:

"We the Iraqi people.."

[SAMWolf]

What is the likelihood that we will evict the UN and make the building into a nice, big USO?

We can only hope and pray.

You, ma'am, are a straight-shootin', cut to the chase scribe who writes simply and intelligently with a wonderful dose of patriotism thrown in for dessert. I salute you.

Photographer.... Go and rent a copy of Blackhawk Down. Maybe then we can talk about how well the families of our military maintained a civil composure while our troops were under the control of a president who didn't give a rats patoot about our military. Heck our troops and families deserve a medal for putting up with Clintons well known dislike for our brave men and women.
You are barking up the wrong tree if you try to tell me that our current President isn't appreciated by the majority of the military. Yes there are a few lovely families with big mouths who have that "I slept in my car look". Most of us who are parents of Military or are married to someone in the Military can't stand them and tell them at any given opportunity to SHUT UP!!

armymarinemom:

I hope that wasn't directed towards my post.....

[armymarinemom]

Nope, I led off with photographer. It was just posted from yours by error. That'll teach me to post when I'm a bit on the irritable side. Sorry.

[ThreePuttinDude]

I thought that maybe because his post had been pulled, that you might have gotten us confused. I sure don't hold his views or ideas....

[armymarinemom]

That was strange because his post was there when I started the post. Sorry again.

[ThreePuttinDude]

Heck, that's OK......God bless ya' army & marine mom

I missed the photographer troll, but am really glad not to have missed Mrs. Chrome Dome's rant.

Mr. Chrome Dome should be VERY proud!

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Shucks. Thank you for the kind words, g.d. (^:

It is so easy to defend these troops. I figure the opposition is miserable - working tirelessly and in major phychological discomfort selling out our heroes daily, knowing deep in their hearts they are being bad.

We simply need to point to the facts and say, "LOOK for yourself" to the misinformed doubters.

Thank goodness for the internet.

Pic at #29 is of an Iraqi man in a crowd of Iraqis holding up a sign for the photographer (w/ a very serious expression on his face):

[UN GO TO HELL]

The left - press, UN, DNC, EU, NGOS - is not listening to the troops, or the will of the vast majority of Iraqis.
