Explanation: Have you ever seen the movie Idiocracy? It's a scary reality; however, we have to concede the fact that majority of the population is made up of individuals with subpar intelligence and violent tendencies. These are the people who make the WWE, NASCAR, and Coors Light such popular items and they all shared the same impression of Bush as their superiorly intelligent, good ol' buddy, who would make a good "decider," and voted him into office not once, but twice (which is still debatable whether he won legally).

yeah.

Sometimes I wonder how it came to be this way, besides just the fact that we have intense class supression and the use of fear for purposes of control seems inate.

I wonder if the ease of producing alcohol has played a large role in the evolution of our species for the negative over the last few thousand years. It would help explain why people are so foggy-headed and mean.

speaking of umpteen thousand NATO troops in Afghanistan...

quote:

Nato Forces in Afghanistan claimed yesterday to have thwarted a major Taliban border incursion from Pakistan by killing up to 150 insurgents in a night-time operation. As part of what was thought to be a precursor to a Taliban spring offensive, Nato officials said that two columns totalling some 200 insurgents crossed into the Afghan border province of Paktika on Wednesday night.>link<

well i can't speak for the last few thousand years but you hit the nail on the head regarding my three posts last night.

Originally posted by Nautilus 1 battalion = 300-1,000 soldiers I'm more than confident that the 2,500 Canadian troops in Afghanistan right now can pick up the slack.

Doubt it.

Canadians are way overtasked as it is right now. (Not to mention out of that 2,500, only like 500 does the patrolling and stuff, rest sit at the base doing whatever)

well, we know the airport is safe

Originally posted by Q5echo i have no idea. well i kinda do but im not gonna air it right now. so your still convinced Bush made this call, right? he said f**k all you guys i want this Btn in Iraq right now. that just defies logic.

Couldn't have said it better.

In truth I cannot definitively state if the Commander in Chief or anyone above Conway ordered him to send his battalion because there's no information in that article or any other article I've looked up to demonstrate as such. I will concede that point simply on the lack of evidence.

However, the point I'm making is a very simple one and is different than stating "Bush directly sent this battalion to Iraq" to which you are seemingly creating as a straw man. I am simply stating that without Bush's asinine escalation plan, there would be no need to send any battalions out of Afghanistan during a time when it's clearly noted that we need our troops to stay put there to fight off the growing Taliban insurgency.

I can't see how anyone can disagree with that statement, even you.

quote:

i don't give a f**k about NATO. NATO operates under it's own umbrella as far as manning.

Did I miss something? Was this directed towards me? When did NATO enter the argument?

quote:

i don't care if its not an editorial or if it was written on the back of a napkin by a 3rd grader you are willing to put the entire credibility of the ground Commanders in Afghanistan on the line over one vague sentence in the paper.

My point stands regardless of your tirade:

quote:

Again I cannot argue and will not argue about General Conway ordering that battalion to go because I have no evidence to support whether or not he was ordered to do so. However, whether he was ordered or not does not refute the point I am making. You do understand this, right?

quote:

why anyone would do that only tells me they really aren't interested in a solution because it's not their war.

I see you've been listening to Bush's radio address yesterday morning - criticizing those dissenters of his ridiculous escalation plan for not offering solutions. The problem is, numerous folks have offered plans, the most recent one by people he fucking appointed - Baker's Iraqi Study Group:

quote:

Our most important recommendations call for new and enhanced diplomatic and political efforts in Iraq and the region, and a change in the primary mission of U.S. forces in Iraq that will enable the United States to begin to move its combat forces out of Iraq responsibly. ...Given the ability of Iran and Syria to influence events within Iraq and their interest in avoiding chaos in Iraq, the United States should try to engage them constructively. ... The primary mission of U.S. forces in Iraq should evolve to one of supporting the Iraqi army, which would take over primary responsibility for combat operations. By the first quarter of 2008, subject to unexpected developments in the security situation on the ground, all combat brigades not necessary for force protection could be out of Iraq.... The United States must not make an openended commitment to keep large numbers of American troops deployed in Iraq. http://216.35.221.77/templates/stor...storyId=6586565

People with half a brain (except Fred Kagan from AEI who created this fucked up idea in the first place) understand and embrace the most obvious fact that this issue needs to be resolved DIPLOMATICALLY, not militarily. Hell, even my most ardent Bush supporting Senator Brownback states this and disagrees with the escalation. Jesus, you lose Brownback on this shit you know you're in deep doodoo.

But now that we're on the question, I don't think I've heard your thoughts on the matter. I know you tend to support Bush unquestionably, but I wonder if there's a slight sense of doubt creeping into your brain yet as there clearly has been for a growing number of Bush supporters. Do you support this escalation, and if so - why?

Here's another fervent Conservative and Bush supporter turning trenchcoat and becoming yet another anti-American for you: Rod Dreher, contributor for National Review and Dallas Morning News op-ed writer. Also a self-proscribed "practicing Christian and political conservative."

quote:

As President Bush marched the country to war with Iraq, even some voices on the Right warned that this was a fool's errand. I dismissed them angrily. I thought them unpatriotic. But almost four years later, I see that I was the fool. In Iraq, this Republican President for whom I voted twice has shamed our country with weakness and incompetence, and the consequences of his failure will be far, far worse than anything Carter did. The fraud, the mendacity, the utter haplessness of our government's conduct of the Iraq war have been shattering to me. It wasn't supposed to turn out like this. Not under a Republican President. I turn 40 next month -- middle aged at last -- a time of discovering limits, finitude. I expected that. But what I did not expect was to see the limits of finitude of American power revealed so painfully. I did not expect Vietnam. As I sat in my office last night watching President Bush deliver his big speech, I seethed over the waste, the folly, the stupidity of this war. I had a heretical thought for a conservative - that I have got to teach my kids that they must never, ever take Presidents and Generals at their word - that their government will send them to kill and die for noble-sounding rot - that they have to question authority. On the walk to the parking garage, it hit me. Hadn't the hippies tried to tell my generation that? Why had we scorned them so blithely? Will my children, too small now to understand Iraq, take me seriously when I tell them one day what powerful men, whom their father once believed in, did to this country? Heavy thoughts for someone who is still a conservative despite it all. It was a long drive home. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/...storyId=6817201

yes, because what needs to be done is much deeper than a metaphor about the Titanic.

why are the troops needed in Afghanistan? Why are they needed in iraq?

Originally posted by christos why are the troops needed in Afghanistan?

training. in the spring they are expecting the Taliban to re-surge.

quote:

Why are they needed in iraq?

ordinary Iraqis don't fully trust the Iraqi army or police. the model works in every and all moderate Arab countries, but Iraq has been scarred by much for such a long time.

sorry mate I don't buy into the propaganda....the US clealy would never need to be if oil weren't involved and that gas pipeline in afghanistan.

did you know France has troops in Afghanistan? did they fall for the US propaganda as well?

And the UN, which somehow made resolutions that gives mandate for NATO to be in Afghanistan and the Coalition in Iraq.

Man, if this is going to turn into another 'US is in Iraq for oil' thread I'm going to throw up.

Been there, done that, bought the fucking t shirt factory, let's move on, shall we?
