Hey Rokke! Good to see you again! So what say you on this one. Personally, I would have preferred the original, and rather violent, cordon and search operation. If it be violent, it best be over with. However, I have also read that we are further along in Fallujah than is generally acknowledged. So, at this stage of the game, do you think Bush made the right call? Comments?
Be Seeing You,
Chris
Nice shot across the bow, dude.
I'll agree to that if -- if, mind you -- I can get a similar restriction on all criticism of the space program based on solid, feasible aerospace engineering solutions in addition to the contributor's listing verifiable work experience with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
But I'm sure that's got a snowball's chance in Hell...as does your proposal. Nice thought anyways...
I both agree and disagree. I agree because it's the right thing to do. I disagree because I don't have any real military experience to back up my opinion.
having said that I'm going to drop in my 2 cents (you had to know that was coming). I agree with the President because I think a full scale frontal assault is what the islamofascists and their presstitute allies want us to do. This is the plan. Get us into a position where we use overwhelming force in a civilian area. The bad guys will kill thousands of women and children (if they haven't already) and call in Al Jazeera and CNN to film the bodies, dutifully reporting the "fact" that they are victims of heartless American murderers.
This is what Kerry is waiting for. he was telling the truth when he said he'd been talking to foreign leaders who want him to win. Those leaders include Sadr and Bin Laden. He's been accusing the Bush administration of cutting a "secret deal" with Saudi Arabia. Maybe we should be asking about what kind of deals he's struck with Sadr and Bin Laden. He's waiting to scream "THIS IS ANOTHER VIETNAM!"
Well, guess what? It IS another Vietnam. In 1964 the DEMOCRAT administration of Lyndon Johnson changed the Kennedy administration policy of using special forces for this type of low intensity conflict. They sent in 100,000s of American troops with absolutely no intention of backing them up or asking the American people to make the kind of commitment that full scale warfare calls for. Now John Kerry and the Demoncrats are demanding that we do the same damn thing again. And George Bush and Don Rumsfield aren't going to fall for their trap.
Our Marines don't have to make frontal assaults on civilian population centers. It's not that kind of war. The population IS NOT behind these thugs. This is a battle for special forces, snipers, NINJAs. We own the night. We can and must take them on our terms, not theirs.
President Bush has made the right call... again.
Sure thing. I say "Let's roll".
Military Experience: I once shot a man for snoring too loud.
