I haven’t said much about the conflict in Iraq in a while, as there isn’t much that is funny about the current situation where the troops are getting attacked every day through guerilla tactics. In response, President Bush told the terrorists, “Bring it on!” and this made the Democrats whine like all ‘ell. So, to get some comment on this situation, I turned to Buck the Marine:
Hi, Buck the Marine here. Getting some stability in Iraq will probably not be an easy thing as there are still many foreigners in Iraq who are alive who shouldn’t be. They think they can attack American troops, and that is a big miscalculation on their part – considering, of course, that the foreigners like not being dead. Some people think we can stop them if we can prove Saddam is all blowed up. You see, Saddam is a really evil man – he’s like extra-foreign – and making sure he’s dead would be very helpful to peace and discourage his supporters. Well, while I think it would be great to kill Saddam (just as I think it’s great to kill any evil foreigner), I also believe that attacks can be stopped without it. Personally, I’ve never known a diplomatic situation that can’t be solved be killing more foreigners, and I think that’s just what we have to do here. Just like, if a dog does something bad such as chewing up a shoe, getting on the furniture, or failing to bite a hippy, you would train him by hitting him on the nose with a rolled up newspaper, you train foreigners from doing something bad by kill’n ’em. Eventually, they will say, “By doing this bad thing, Americans kill us, so we should stop.” Now, it’s now easy to train foreigners, as it takes time, energy, bullets, and stabbing, but it’s worth the effort to help keep our troops safe.
Some people are angry at Bush for telling the bad guys to, “Bring it on,” but that seems perfectly fine to me. We don’t like the foreigners hiding around and waiting to attack us; instead, we like them out in the open where we can kill them good. Currently, many troops are going days without a chance to kill foreigners, and that is hard on their morale. Now, personally, I wouldn’t have said things exactly the way Bush did; what I usually yell out to foreigners is “You die now!” or, to be more clear, “You die now ’cause you foreign!” That’s just me, though, and everyone has their own style of dealing with evil foreigners.
Anyway, God please watch over our troops out there and keep them safe, and, if it so pleases You, smite a foreigner or two. But don’t kill too many; that’s our job. Ooh-rah!
What is going on in Iraq is a mixture of good news and bad news. For the troops getting killed and wounded the news is as bad as it gets, of course, but the sad reality is that troops get hurt and killed. The only way around it is to never pull the troops out of barracks.
There is some good news, every Jihadi and splodeydope around seems to be trying to get to Iraq to strike at the Great Satan.
I would posit that it’s better to have them attacking trained and armed troops than unarmed civilians.I would hope that as our guys (and gals) gain experiance, that the Jihadi’s success rate goes down. None the less, our guys are killing a lot more of them than they are of us. That kill ratio will only improve. Right now it seems that the bad guys are getting the first shots off. Wether that’s a problem with the Rules of Engagement (ROE) or simply that our troops aren’t watching the windows, rooftops and tree lines I don’t know. I do know that it will change. We’ll know it has changed when there’s a big stink about some GI blowing somebody away for moving on a rooftop. We’ve got to stop giving that first shot away.
One thing to remember is building a country takes time. It ain’t gonna happen in 45 days.
Btw, where’s the Ooh-ra????
good point.
Buck, as always, is succinct and to the point. Buck rules!
Be still my heart….
Buck the Marine speaks!…
Buck the Marine is right! If untrained irregulars who only know how to rob, rape, and kill innocent civilians face our soldiers and Marines out in the open, they wouldn’t stand a chance.
“You see, Saddam is a really evil man – he’s like extra-foreign”
Brilliant, Buck, brilliant. Buck really is a poet in his own way. OOH-RAH!
“Try our new, improved Saddam, now fortified with with 65% more foreign!”
“Buck The Marine In 2008!”
Semper Fi
My ongoing linkfest to a certain site until I’m blogrolled, continues: I’ve been sitting here for the past 3 months wondering why Frank J. hasn’t said much if anything about the war in Iraq. Today he has interviewed, Buck the…
Oh, I’d vote for that, Kim.
Happy birthday!
Came back just in time, too, to give Frank at IMAO a little gratutious linkage for his birthday. Love his new tagline (“Unfair. Unbalanced. Unmedicated.”), and you have to admire anyone who comes up with a much better depiction of how to take care of …
