SirD's Opinion On The War In Iraq

[[GG]SirDabrowski]

First of all, let me start with a disclaimer: My opinions are my own, and no, they will not invade your mind, and take over your own.

Now, on to my Opinion.

It's like this:

America in 1943:

America in 2005:

The reason we went to War in 1941:

The reason why we went to War in 2001:

What's letting that dumbass woman hold up her stupid sign on the street corner:


Apparently it's popular today to stand on street corners and protest Military recruiters. First of all, let me tell you what struck me to write this little Opinionated article. Earlier today I received a letter from the US Air Force asking me to call and look up employment benefits I would have if I ever decided to join the US Air Force. Nowhere in the letter, or the brochure, did it ever tell me to "Join the Air Force". Nowhere in the letter did I see, "JOIN NOW!" I've received calls from the local US Army and US Navy recruiters, and the US Marine Corps recruiter, all talking to me about the different branches. This is why I'm writing this opinionated piece.

First of all, let me begin that it takes big balls to enlist in the Military when you are at war. Hell, it takes big balls to enlist in the Military at all. For that, any current or ex-Military ( Doesn't matter the nationality. ), I salute you for your service. S!

Now, on to my opinion. First, let me talk about the woman on the street corner. I'll assume the big 'truth' the recruiter's are not telling possible recruits is this: We're at War. Now, last time I checked, this was a 'No S-H-I-T' assessment. I mean, how thick do you have to be, woman? What big truth? If a man ( Or woman ) has the balls to go in to that recruiter's Office, and enlist, then he/she has all the support I can give them.

Because, the last time I checked, it was those brave souls going in to that recruiting office to enlist that kept your old ass safe on that corner street, without the fear of being blown up by suicide bombers. Though, of course, it's not cool to thank or support the troop's anymore. I mean, who the Hell does that? Let's continue to go to College parties, smoke marijuana, go to Anti-War parties, and continue to blame Bush for everything that exists. Katrina? His fault entirely. ( ENTER SARCASM HERE. )

On to my next matter of business. I am sick and tired of turning on the News and seeing "BUSH = ANTICHRIST" or whatever written on signs that Anti-War protesters hold up outside Times Square. First of all, let me start out with the obvious: He is the PRESIDENT. He didn't get there on his good looks, he got there from the Electoral College. ( Don't like it? Call your local State Legislation, and complain, or call your local Represenative/Senator. )

So, with that said, SHUT THE HELL UP. You ( Yes, I'm generalizing. ) voted for him while we were at War. You can not go in to a War going, "Yeah! Let's kick some ass!" Yet, when things start turning a little sour, turn tail, and say, "This is the President's fault!"

We are at WAR. Our Twin Towers were blown the Hell up, our own citizens have been killed. Our soldiers are dying in Iraq, and some people have the balls to declare: WE WANT OUT OF IRAQ.

I'm sorry, but if I catch a 7.62mm round in the chest, and die, I don't want to look down from Heaven and seeing my nation get weak knee's. No, I want them to go after the bastard that killed me, and for them to grow some balls.

And with that: GROW SOME BALLS. We are now in Iraq, and you know what? There's no turning back. Sorry! That's what War is! Incase you haven't noticed, Wars are very hard to get out of. If we leave now, we basically say, "Well. I guess you beat us. You guys had better hurry to Afghanistan, and kill lots of American's there, so we'll leave Afghanistan, too."

But many complain, "We were brought there on false pretenses! They had no WMD's! They had no terrorist connections!"

First of all, when did you become the CIA expert? When have you ever looked at satellite photographs of downtown Fallujah? Never? Okay, then, shut the Hell up. Thanks.

Iraq is filled with sand ( Just in case you didn't know. ), and in that sand there's loads of stuff. Like MiG-25 Foxbats, for example:



Now, I don't expect many people here to know what a Foxbat is. It's an Interceptor-type Aircraft that is designed to carry Nuclear, Chemical, and Biological bombs and nasty things like that. Now, why would a MiG-25 Foxbat be buried in the Iraqi sands?

UH, MAYBE BECAUSE IT CARRIES THE STUFF IRAQ ISNT SUPPOSED TO HAVE.

Here's a map of Iraq:



That's a Hell of a lot of sand, right? That's about enough sand to fill North and South Dakota. Now, how long do you think it'd take to dig up North and South Dakota to look for WMD's in the sand? Exactly.

Now, many people turn to another source of information regarding WMD's: Why didn't Saddam Hussein give away the weapon's, to avoid War? If he said he didn't have them, under those circumstances, then he didn't have them.

Let's believe Hitler that there was no such thing as Concentration Camps.

It's this simple: Saddam Hussein, and the Iraqi Government were stupid. Saddam was banking on the French Veto, and praying to Allah that the US wouldn't really invade him. I mean, the US had done the same in the Persian Gulf War.

Though, of course, TSHTF ( The S*** Hit The Fan ), and we did invade them, because President Bush isn't a girl thingy, unlike most Anti-War folk who believe keeping a man whose killed a few million people in power is a cool thing to do.

And to further my point that the Iraqi Government was full of incompetent retards, I give you the Iraqi Minister of Information:

"There are no infidels in Iraq!"

We all know he lied for no reason whatsoever. Saddam's still not got his ass hanged, yet, and Al-Zarqawi is still hiding like the cowardly b-i-t-c-h he is. So, yeah, there are still infidels in Iraq. Those Infidels being Saddam and Al-Zarqawi.

If Saddam Hussein was stupid enough to gas thousands of Kurds to death, he'd be as stupid to gas thousands of New Yorkers going to their early morning job. I'd rather see a few Iraqi's dead, then waking up in the morning, and seeing a rising casualty toll in New York City.

I support the War in Iraq, and above all else, I support the troops who are fighting in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other places around the world. To you men and women, I salute you!

S!

Well anyways. Lots of Sand (I miss readed as lots of Shands... good reason to bomb things to kingdom come) Dab are you going to enlist to army? (I hope not, I would see you rather alive and play some BF2 with me) And Iraqi goverment were retards that is one thing right.

About the gassing the Kurds, sad thing but it aint sure that were it made by Iran or Irak... they were in war that time and gas weapons were widely used in that war.

Saddest thing about this is that civilians suffer a lot. Well but anyways is good that in US you are not forced to go army (In Finland you have to)

Interesting post. I typed a very long response, since I disagree with almost everything you say (from the fact that the attacks in NY were the reason for the war with Iraq, to the fact that saying 'These soldiers died so you have the freedom of speech, now shut up!' is the height of hypocracy, to the fact that you imply it is A) unAmerican to protest the government and B) that protesting somehow translates into not supporting our troops.) However, I finally just decided to delete my response and let this one lie, and I would encourage others to do the same, as these issues are probably a little much for people to debate at the moment, especially since I know we have some fierce people on both sides of the debate. After all, we are here to play video games; here is a good place for political stuff

Have a good holiday to the US folks out there!

Nope, it was just the first site that showed up when I did a google search for "political forum" or something:)
