The jihadis, just like the liberal dems, will go too far. And then America will wake up.

How far is too far? We’ll find out shortly.

America isn’t far left or far right. America is Center. And busy. And distracted. But we will wake up.

And woe to those who wake us.

I would have thought that the jihadis kicked the bed hard enough to wake America as a whole up, I know it did me. But it seems like a goodly portion of Americans just hit the snooze button and rolled over and went back to sleep to wait for American Idiots or Survivor to come on.

Sometimes I wonder if even a mushroom cloud over a major city is enough to flip over the bed and wake the sleeping giant like Japan did 65 years ago…

…or if America is even still a giant….

“God will never forgive us if we break faith with our dead the Kurds again.”

If that bastard Baker screws the Kurds again, he can rot in Hell. — spmat

…yes…and when it got so bad that even the *UN* saw that it was a humanitarian disaster, who did they send? WHO, who did they send?

…ME…bloody me, that’s who they sent.

They sent 10th Special Forces, one battalion to Batman, Turkey (yes, there is a town called “Batman”, and no, I don’t know if the Joker lives there), and two (including mine) to Silopi, Turkey…where the Turks cut off our water (so we dug wells)…where the Turks pilfered the gear sent to us from our staging area…where we spent two months on hour hands because the Turks wouldn’t give us maps…bloody Silopi…the global enema tube was poised above our heads daily….

We had Americans, Frogs, Dutch Marines, British Marines, even Australians swoop through to go downrange to talk Kurds out of the hills and coax ‘em back home, after American Marines secured enough of the area for it to be safe for them to do so…there was even a contingent from Luxembourg (and, go figure, I actually knew one of their officers!).

We also had the UN High Commission on Refugees try to limit what we were doing, messing around with things. Our battalion also had an S-2 (intelligence) officer who *MUST* be Reyes intel geek today, because he seemed to see himself as 007 stuck in “Lawrence of Arabia”…like a pimp on Friday, as my Dad used to say…clean shirt, fresh pack of smokes, couldn’t tell him a damned thing….

With Baker *ANYWHERE* near this operation, the Kurds are going to get hosed again…as someone said earlier, the *ONLY* thing close to a friend we have in the region. Ask me, they’re the *ONLY* thing approaching a civilized people between Moscow and Cape Horn, Athens and Beijing…and I’m not that sure about Moscow.

We have Jim Baker’s blueprint…Clintonista and Powell-clone morons in State…a president who’s lost in “Biparisanistan”…and a Congress and electorate who’re *BORED* with the whole business, largely because they have *NO* idea what’s at stake.

…so, somebody pop up some corn, let’s all lay back and watch as the Keystone Kops lose a war….

…see…there’s the cock-eyed police chief throwing hundreds of our GIs under a bus while we disentangle from the mess Baker will create…there’s Iran profiting like sweepstakes winners as we give power away with both hands…and watch as our kids have to stop the regional bleeding with their bodies….

I went to war to save Kurds…my boys’re ready now to go to war…but, they won’t have to go save Kurds like their Old Man…soon, they’ll all be dead.

Thanks, W. Thanks, Jim. Thanks, Silvestre.

With their uncanny grasp of the obvious and their spending four whole DAYS in Iraq, this so called “Iraq Study Group”, made up of a bunch of old, out of touch has-beens, came out with a 142 page report of nothing but bad ideas that have all been talk…

I have to believe there’s more going on that we DON’T know than what we do.

decider, I used to believe the same. But after watching one event after the other disappointingly unfold in that troubled region of the world, I just can’t buy into that theory anymore. There’s no wizard behind the curtain.

I’m with you 100% on that one!

How far is too far? We’ll find out shortly.

America isn’t far left or far right. America is Center. And busy. And distracted. But we will wake up.

And woe to those who wake us.

A month and two days ago, America surrendered to EVERYTHING and everyone. Baker and his co-conspirators are merely one symptom of the virus that that has become pandemic.

There aren’t enough of folks like us left anymore to fix things, so everything is only going to get worse.

LegendHasIt on December 9, 2006 at 10:41 PM

I don’t buy that BS. There’s plenty of us out there. People will wake up soon and see the appeasers are wrong. Hey, it was one election and one misguided report. Stop with the gloom and doom crap!

Destabilizing the US war effort in Iraq; and offering to help withdraw?
A repressive totalitarian regime who denies human rights of their people, while demanding ‘Freedom of Expression’ by the US? Now the Hague? Allahpundit at Hot Air……

And if you haven’t read Rick Santorum’s farewell speech, you really need to. All of it.

Americans have got to start pulling together.

We left the Kurds in the lurch after 1991, I pray to God that we don’t do it again.

I really believe Bush will not wish to do that, nor do I think he’s open to talks with Ahmadummyjerk. The next president, however, probably will. I will make a prediction that Bush will not talk directly with the Iranian government in an effort to save face and prevent the U.S. from the appearance of acknowledging Iran’s rising influence in the region. I also predict Saudi Arabia is about to give the Iranian government something else to worry about. Let’s not forget the special relationship the Bush family has with the Saudi Royal family. I have to believe there’s more going on that we DON’T know than what we do.

Yeah? I got a new direction for ya!

EAST! Into IRAN!

As soon as we can turn over security to the new Iraqi and Afghan Armies, redeploy to the Iranian boarder, then let the Air Force do what it was made for.

These guys are laughin’ at us, they think they have us by the short n’ curlies. We should take out their govt, their nukes and their military and let the PEOPLE of Iran take over the country. If they need our Troops, they’re on the boarder and ready to go.

You libs out there think I’m a warmonger? Ok, I can live with that. But what’s YOUR solution? TALK? Yeah, we tried that once before, remember? “Peace in our time!” And to paraphrase your hero Dr. Phil “How’d *that* work out for ya?”

How many people hafta die before you gutless wonders wake up? Which American city are you NOT ok with losing to a nuke?

Iran is just as much YOUR enemy as it is us eeevil right wing HotAir posters because (moment of reflection) YOU’RE AN AMERICAN!

They don’t care if you vote Donkeycrat, if you vote at ALL, you’re anti-islamic and must die. If you pay your taxes, you fund America’s war machine and therefore must die. If you drink alcohol, you’re a sinner who must die. If you collect intrest from your bank account, you’re an eeevil capitalist who must die. If you’re an artist (or if you patronize art), (you’re a sinner who funds the artist who creates human form) or you are the artist who creates human form and only allah can do that and so you must die. If you think women should dress anyway they like, show their hair, drive, enjoy sex, go to school, work, or leave the house without a male escort, you’re an infidel and must die. If you’re an atheist, you must die. If you’re agnostic, you must die.

I could go on and on (and I already have, sorry) but if ya don’t get it by now, ya never will.

Iranian mullahs need libs to be the weakkneed, politically correct useful idiots that they are in order to succeed against us. Yes, that’s right, I said US! You AND me. So STOP HELPING THEM!

There aren’t enough of folks like us left anymore to fix things, so everything is only going to get worse.

Please let me wake up from this nightmare, where up is down forward is backward and and brainless twits are trying to run our foreign policy.
