Editor's note: Ted can be raw and visceral, but as a veteran, he also sees things and says them in a quite cathartic way
Well, now the Bush people are ordering soldiers out of their sickbeds to Iraq--.soldiers who already served multiple “tours” in many cases. Soldiers recovering from wounds physically and mentally.
This follows George’s more forgiving policy of allowing people with serious criminal records to enlist, not to mention his increase by ten percent, the number of high school dropouts he will allow to enjoy a fun filled, adventure packed cruise to the sunny shores of Iraq.
Clearly, these sick deviants are merely exchanging live bodies for dead ones. This in no way, improves any effort the Bush criminals have in Iraq. It’s like watering down a good liquor. The training is pathetic, the people hospitalized for injuries and such pay for their own food, and the US is claiming to train Iraqis when actually mercenaries from Blackwater and other such nests of low life’s are doing this dubious training.
The US Military claims some 3100 US casualties, a number that, given the Bush people’s penchant for lying, is likely to be twice or three times that number.
Remember the figures issued by the British Medical Journal; “Lancet.” They state that unlike Bush’s thirty thousand Iraqis killed, in actuality that the number is likely around 600,000. One can extrapolate the American numbers from here.
I find it hard to believe that there hasn’t been mutiny en masse in all the armed forces, but especially those on the ground. They’re being massacred by an inept officer corps, and general officers of which some have their lips glued squarely on Bush’s ass.
There is no real Iraqi Army and Police force when you have many being killed by men wearing Iraqi military and police uniforms. There is a full blown civil war in progress in Iraq, and the very first time people were killed by Militiamen wearing uniforms and weapons provided by the US should have been the very last example of such stupidity on the part of the Americans.
The US has little left to lose in the way of any worldly respect or trust. The US has demonstrated the total uselessness of their new high tech garbage such as ground weaponry like tanks, and individual arms. It has demonstrated the comique nature of the F-117 and the B-2. These clear boondoggles are costing trillions that could be better spent elsewhere.
The US is on the very precipice of rendering the US Army ineffective with this continue lack of a front door draft. When you start taking soldiers out of hospital beds and such, then it’s time to send the Bush Twins, and Cheney’s kids to Basic Training with all the other youngsters that with rich parents, have found some form of safe haven from the draft.
Before that though, let’s just get hell out of the Middle East. The wars cannot be won by any means by the US. The criminality of this regime and its wars are indisputable. The Dumbocrats have clearly failed to do anything about the Bush Regime or engineer an IMMEDIATE departure from the Middle East of all US and “allied” (bwaaahaahaaahaaa! Sorry couldn’t help it) troops.
Pelosi has failed as well as Murtha and everyone but Dennis Kucinich. It is time for a tactical withdrawal to the rear (cut and run like hell). There is no “face” to save anymore and we can’t allow George and his dick, Cheney to keep murdering Americans and Iraqis. We DAMNED sure can’t allow these mentally disturbed wharf rats to attack Iran whether with American or Israeli resources..
For God’s sake America, this is OUR COUNTRY! How much longer will we collectively allow it to be reduced to a two bit whorehouse! We must demand the resignation of the Bush Regime. We don’t have to sit here and take this! We CAN do something to stop the Bush Crime Regime! We MUST DO IT NOW!
