These people are going to cut off at least hundreds and probably thousands of heads. They are going to start a war with Iran, and turn the Iraqi cultural landscape into an arid, spirit-less desert. They are going to assert their misogyny vigorously. Death and destruction, hate and fear follow them wherever they go.
From all I hear, the Iraqi military is filled with pussies, and the Iraqi government has disarmed the populace. Baghdad will likely fall.
Within a couple months, Obama will have stood and watched the vitiation of all the work our soldiers did in Iraq, and established the basis of the failure of our work in Afghanistan. The parallels with Vietnam are uncanny. In Vietnam, we clearly, unambiguously, beyond any doubt, beyond any debate, factually, won the war in the South. If further evidence were needed, it comes handily in the form of the fact that the Easter invasion was led by tanks provided by the Soviets that originated openly in the North. So too did the final invasion in 1974-1975.
Yes, of course the amoral whores who run our press have suppressed general understanding of these facts, and even more critically, an understanding of the MEANING of these facts.
We won in Iraq. Then we lost.
We won in Afghanistan. But now we will likely lose.
I am tired, irritable, and maybe have some vodka in a cup next to me, but I want to offer a general statement that feels right to me. Shit, I’m going to do all caps, and give it a carriage return
NO WAR THAT AMERICA CAN OR WILL FIGHT IN THE FUTURE WILL ACTUALLY BE FOR “FREEDOM” OR “DEMOCRACY” UNTIL WE ELIMINATE THE POWER AND INFLUENCE OF TRAITORS IN OUR MIDST.
I know soldiers. I talk with them. I sympathize with them. I’m a working class joe who rubs elbows with sheet rockers and painters every day. I like ordinary people. I respect them. I don’t like intellectuals, as a rule.
And goddamn it if they are not getting fucking screwed. I have no personal idea how hard these soldiers, sailors, airmen marines worked, but 16 hour days for a year straight is probably a good guess for most of them. I know a nice, easy schedule is 12 on/12 off with the Navy. 7 days a week, for the duration of your deployment.
Obama DOES NOT GIVE A SHIT. I have said this elsewhere several times in the past few days, with regard to his dumping of illegal aliens other than back in Mexico: he values nothing. I have said he values power. But that is a craving, a “sehnsucht”, to use an apposite German word. It is not something he values, cares about. It is simply a defining aspect of his insanity, his craziness, his poorly constructed reconciliation with unprocessed trauma. He does not love Americans. He does not love Valerie Jarrett or even his own children. There is no love there. There is only the horror of emotionally detached abstraction.
Perhaps that glass of vodka has shrunk. Let me ask this question: ISIS–Islamic State in Iraq and Syria–originate in Syria. Did we arm these mother fuckers? Did we give them guns, ammo, jeeps, APG’s?
We know Obama has been arming blood thirsty savages in Syria. Were these some of them?
Was this invasion part of the plan? Should some little bird have warbled in our ear when Obama talked about how sweet the sound of the muezzin was?
Oh, the birds have been shrieking at us like hysterical monkeys for some time.
One reply on “Iraq”
I read a great tweet yesterday. It said:
"The world is Obama's sandcastle. It took a long time to build and he's just kicking it over."
I'm not much for Christian eschatology, but if there was such thing as an antichrist this would be a fairly good description of it.
