The new array: one and two

Make sure you look at Metal Storm in the first one. A million rounds a minute or remote controlled 40 MM system.

Done!

Why?

Do you honestly question it or is this a dig at liberals?

Just curious.

And more news from Iraq. Meanwhile, Marines are preparing to take Ramadi. It’s too early to claim victory yet, but the early indications this new surge is more effective than we could have hoped…….

“Another vote for the M4?”

Whatever happened to the AR-10? The 7.62 version of the AR-15.

I would rather opt for the H&K 416 but, alas, bureaucrats and lobbyists are in the way.

At that ratio, you’d think the locals would have started bumping them off themselves.

Let’s hope they do. The sooner the local populace decides to fight in their own fight the better the whole country will be.

Is it just me, or is the news coming out of Iraq over the last couple of months mostly, well, good news?

billy, you need to start watching CNN and listening to NPR, so as to get your head straight.

Don’t you know about the War on the Middle Class? The continuing War Crimes of BushHitler? The valiant efforts of the DemocratIC Party to unify and re-deploy and……..

hehehehehe

Our boys had to clear every house and fight jihadis who were all drugged up. It took several shots to put these koranimals down for good….

Another vote for the M4?

…60 jihadis estimated in a neighborhood of 15,000 residences. At that ratio, you’d think the locals would have started bumping them off themselves.

The first thing that popped into my mind: Human nature? 4,000 teen/subteen Khmer Rouge managed to evict 3,000,000 people from Phnom Penh in 1975.

We will win Anbar, thanks to our President, our military, and brave Iraqis. Great news to end a great Friday.

Dear God, please bless and protect those brave young Americans who fight to free your children from tyranny and oppression.

“Col. Riley is one of the organizers of the national counter-protest Gathering of Eagles, a veterans group of Americans who will gather in Washington, D.C. on March 17 at the Vietnam Memorial Wall to serve as a counter-demonstration to an anti-war rally there on that day. The Gathering of Eagles will act to block any anti-war protestors who try to desecrate, damage or dishonor the Memorial Wall.

The Gathering of Eagles calls out to all Americans to come help on March 17. Those interested should visit the website at http://www.gatheringofeagles.org and/or contact Col. Riley at hmriley@cox.net.

FP: What is your angle on how the Iraq war has been handled?

Riley: The Iraq war was won quickly; the problem was a bumbling clean-up. The follow-on was handled poorly, politics as usual got in the way of practical decision making. In my opinion, the Bush Administration had poor advisors, made faulty assumptions, fell into the trap that wars can be won on the cheap, fooled around too long cutting tentacles off the octopus rather than hitting the brain, and worried too much about “world opinion”.

We should have been much tougher with Syria and Iran, maybe even bombing their military sites, industrial, nuclear sites. Instead we are viewed as weak, indecisive, and are paying the price in blood and lives. American leaders have not learned the valuable lesson that war must be approached with decisive force, and the enemy, wherever he is, must be pursued, confronted and destroyed. Anything short is a betrayal of the warriors sent into harm’s way.

And check this out!

FP: Your thoughts on the illegal immigration issue?

Riley: Illegal immigration should speak for itself — it’s illegal. If I violate the laws, I answer with some form of consequence — not given free medical care, social security, and a ticket to citizenship.

a dozen local tribes who say they’ve had enough of militants whose stated goal is to oust U.S. troops and establish an Islamic caliphate in the region …

Interesting. The militants have the same stated goal as Pelosi & friends.

Coincidence or alliance? Curious minds want to know.

DOH!

…a recent alliance between U.S. forces and a dozen local tribes who say they’ve had enough of militants whose stated goal is to oust U.S. troops and establish an Islamic caliphate in the region…

The balance between getting killed by jihadis and making money off US/Iraq’s wealth has tilted in our favor. Let’s see if their is a cascade effect.

If this starts spreading the situation in Iraq can change rapidly toward security and then it would be Iran’s decision on whether they want to foment violence or not.

Oh happy day!

I question the timing.
