Title: We are gettin our butts kicked in Iraq. NOT! Post by thomas on Jun 30th, 2004, 6:53pm Tommy -----Original Message----- Subject: "SF Team" 80="Muslims" 0!! A heart-warming note from Army Special Forces friend in Iraq! This sure ruined the day for Dems/Libs! I have sanitized the authors name/specific unit for obvious reasons but he's part of an Army Special Forces (Green Berets) contingent in Iraq that are really kicking ass and delivering a load of well deserved "paybacks" on Muslim enemy. No wonder the Libs/Dems are whining like stuck pigs, I mean "traitors" (My apologies to the pigs of the World!), THEIR boys are getting creamed! Take heart and enjoy the read! B.L. _____________________________________________________________________ _ _______________________________________ ...Anyway, here is some ammo for bragging rights. One of our teams from my BN just got 80 confirmed kills in a 4 hour firefight. There was no friendly KIA or WIA. Oh, what makes it even better is how we confirmed it. There is a new policy in effect over there that all enemy KIA have to be secured and stored until the Red Cross can come and pick them up. Our boys loaded all the bodies up in trucks like cord wood. There is confirmation for ya!! Another tid bit of information..... there was only 10 guys on that team. Pretty good kill ratio if I do say so myself!!! |

Title: Re: We are gettin our butts kicked in Iraq. Post by floridian on Jul 1st, 2004, 1:44pm No doubt our troops have superior training and equipment, and on a normal battlefield engagement kick ass in a serious way. But the troops are in a nation-building program where most of the fighting will not be conventional. And the statistics cited directly above were cherry picked to mislead.

Title: Re: We are gettin our butts kicked in Iraq. Post by Jeepgun on Jul 1st, 2004, 2:10pm Well, thank you for shitting on the good news, Floridian. The statistics I posted were from a site that is run by Iraqis from this site, here: http://www.untoldiraq.org/# And here is a letter from Iraqis to the American people: http://www.untoldiraq.org/news/iraq_ad_600.jpg The majority of the comments and links that you posted were links to things stated by American senators and American newspapers. I think Iraqi citizens have vastly more credibility. Whatever... You are welcome to your pessimistic views. The media can kick dirt over the positive things that are taking place for only so long. The facts are glaringly different. |

Well, the source you cited most frequently was the Coallition Provisional Authority, which is in fact the White House appointed agency that was in charge of the occupation. Quote:
Really? Which Iraqi citizens?? The Shiites that like Al Sadr?? The former Ba'athists?? The ones that were hand picked by the US CPA?? The www.untoldiraq.org organization is not a grass-roots group of Iraqis - it was created by a neocon think-tank in that is pro Israel (unlike real Iraqis). It is tied in with the groups that got us into the war in the first place. The www.untoldiraq.org website 'contact person' is Bill McCarthy.

Here is another: http://www.iraq-iraqis.blogspot.com/ For whatever reason, you seem to have taken a personal affront to anything good taking place in Iraq or being reported by anyone, even from a wide variety of sources. Whatever. I'm not here to change your mind or convince you of anything. I found these facts and found them compelling and encouraging, and presented them just as I found them, with no particular political spin.

I'm not saying that some things haven't improved. But it isn't all sunshine and roses. I want to hear the good, the bad, and the ugly - not just the good. And I don't think that overall things are improving there. I will check out the blogs you mentioned. Facts are facts, except when different people have facts that disagree. And even if we agreed on the facts, interpreting them and coming to a conclusion can be done in different ways. |

I agree. That (the 9-11 bombings) started the the war against Afghanistan. A war that was fully justified. And if you are really serious about pursuing countries with links to Al Qaeda, the second and third countries to invade would have been Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. The relationship between Pakistan and Al Qaeda was undeniable. But they have atomic weapons and promised to cooperate in the war on terror, so we made them an ally instead. Under the Carter administration, the US sent around $10 million a year to the Mujahedin in Afghanistan. Reagan upped that to $500 million, and convinced the Saudis to chip in another $500 million to bring the total to a nice even $1 Billion dollars per year. Of course, the Saudis eventually realized that Osama was out to crush their throne, so they cut him off at many levels (though many individual Saudis still support Osama with oil money). Late last year, they adopted a zero tolerance policy against Al Qaeda - after Al Qaeda started killing people in Saudi Arabia. Could have nailed bin Laden in Afghanistan. But we sent in Afghani troops to fight the most important battle and he slipped away. Then the neoconservatives convinced the president we 'needed' to fight Saddam, so troops and translators were pulled away from Afghanistan for the second war. |

At least you haven't called us evil unpatriotic traitors. I'm tickled pink that Saddam is in the dock. It wouldn't bother me if he were under the dock. There is one thing that I read from Pat Buchanan the other day: He said that by getting Saddam out of the picture, we may have gotten rid of the only secular dictator that the terrorists hated more than us. He got in their way. Glad he's gone and I'm hopinig things will work out so we can withdraw a few men and women. Sadly, it ain't gonna be easy. Damn. Some woman on MSNBC noted that Saddam has such nice black hair. Not a gray streak to be seen. Someone has been working on the prick. What a job.

Title: Re: We are gettin our butts kicked in Iraq. Post by Jeepgun on Jul 2nd, 2004, 8:05am Charlie, you don't know much about me, then. While I may not agree with Floridian's opinions, I would fight for his right to express them. That's what makes our country great. And although some of my views tend to be rather conservative, I claim no particular political affiliation. I look at the facts, think for myself, examine my conscience, and express my own opinions. Why would you ever think I would call you unpatriotic or a traitor? [smiley=huh.gif] There's a long, difficult road ahead of us in Iraq, and for the Iraqis, too! No one's doubting that. To think otherwise would be to be out of touch with reality. What I personally wanted to do here, was take the focus off the constant flood of only bad news that our media feeds us in this country, and show that good things are indeed, happening in Iraq. Our efforts haven't been wasted, and Iraqis and Americans have not died in vain. There IS good progress being made, and shame on our media for not presenting these facts to the public as well. |

... in other words, you wanted people to think in a certain way. You post it, others read it, then we discuss? OK. Instead of slamming the media for not covering this, you might want to think about the Pentagon policy on publishing enemy casualties. For the first year of the war, the Pentagon would NOT release such information, making it rather difficult for the media to report. They started to quietly release estimates of Iraqi insurgent casualties 7 months ago, but they have not pushed it. The fact that the original post was 'sanitized' suggests that the military didn't want the public to know of this event, if it even happened. Can you verify that your post is anything more than a rumor or hoax being passed around on the internet? Overall, the story is plausible, I'll admit, but its unproven. What about the part where the Green Berets are waiting for the Red Cross to pick up the bodies before they count it as a kill?? Thats an alarming thought (if true). Quote:

Title: Re: We are gettin our butts kicked in Iraq. Post by Jeepgun on Jul 2nd, 2004, 9:47am Mean? Me? Nawwww... But I do occasionally jab people. Thanks for being a sport about it. :) I can't say that I was trying to get people to think in a certain way, but damn, I'm fed up with only hearing about how many Iraqis and US soldiers have been killed by terrorists. Together, the Iraqis and the US military are accomplishing good things for Iraq, even though there are, and will continue to be, setbacks and tragedies. The media is so loathe to report anything positive, it's disgusting. There is no such thing as "fair and balanced" anymore, whether one is watching CNN, Fox, NBC, ABC, or Al-Jezeera. It's demoralizing and depressing. So, whenever I find things that I think are good, credible, and worthy of note, I try to post them. As much as possible, I try to get my news from a variety of sources. (even sources that I disagree with.) Cheers, -Frank |

Title: Re: We are gettin our butts kicked in Iraq. Post by Gator on Jul 2nd, 2004, 11:26am Frank, you're a good man. You keep offering an olive branch and he keeps pounding you with it. As I have said before, they just cannot do it. They cannot report good. You have explained that you fully understand that bad things are also happening over there. You are requesting a little equal time in the reporting, but they hear you asking for only good news, as if you really believed everything was all sunshine, lollipops and roses. Since their hearing is shot and their thinking is beyond reason, we just have to post whatever good news and positive results we find and say fuggem. If they can only be happy in their misery, more power to them. Thank you to Thomas for the original post. Just some good news from a friend in Iraq. Should have stayed that way, but the people who don't want good news to get out turned that simple post into yet another political debate. Gator |
