No troop parade imminent as Iraq war ends

Postby OakRidgeStars » Tue, 27 Dec 2011 19:42:40

Pentagon officials stated today that there probably won't be any celebrations in New York City as the Iraq war comes to a close.

At least we'll always have the grand welcome our heroes received at the end of the first Gulf War. But then we were in that war to win it.

Then why the sequel a decade later, Invade Iraq 2: WMD Boogaloo aka the Curse of Saddams Mustache?

I heard that flick went waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over budget and production time.
So rattle my bones all over the stones, I'm only a beggar-man whom nobody owns. Oh, see how words as old as sin, fit me like a glove.

Given the pending defense cuts due to the nonfeasance of the "Budget Supercommittee", if I were the Pentagon Brass, I'd probably be afraid to spend the money.

I don't think it's a good idea to put that online. WHO KNOWS who's checking? I love big-caliber and longe-range rifles and 1911 pistols, and I've got a few.

Next Firearm:
I can always use another 1911.

Hmmm...interesting parallel. Both were heavily cast by olive complected, violent, hirsute men easily ethnically stereotyped.

Did Big Puzzy take the yellow cake with him to his watery grave? I smell a crossover!

Doubt it since he's been dead for six (or seven, depending on which story you read) years.

And when 2/3 of the special team who knew what happened are tragically killed in an airlift operation which was not only below their paygrade but totally outside of their SOP for delivery.

I am sickened by the coverups, lies and corruption that was bred out of Bush, II's war and furthered by Bush, III.

Yeah, those helicopter "crashes" are a tragedy.

Oh, and the Big Puss I was referring to is the actual one form the Sopranos, who was sent sent to sleep with the fishes.

Hey, you familiar with Operation Northwoods? When our fearless leaders were going to paint planes with Cuban colors and create terrorist cells and have them attack US soil to foment a war with Cuba? Damned near happened if not for JFK squashing it.

Any of that ring a bell?

That's crap. Those guys deserve it. It's a shame nobody supports the troops beyond the 6 year old, faded bumper sticker from when they were in vogue.
