Supa, you have to realize that with these incoherent rants comes a bit of sarcasm. Just a hint. You also have to realize that we have witnessed things that you could never imagine. I've watched these idiots do things with a donkey that you would not believe (and I'm not talking about what they do in mexico, at least the donkey enjoys that). Iraq (mesopotamia) may have been the birthplace of civilization, however it doesn't take much to figure out why it quickly MOVED and left these missing links behind. All I'm saying is that some things just aren't worth saving. FWIW.
So why are we putting our military in harms way in Iraq? Why are we wasting our national treasure? And if the place is not worth saving why bring democracy there?
again, hint of sarcasm brother. For all the stories I could tell you about these creatins doing odd things with various farm animals, I can tell you another that is on the opposite side. We were looking for weapons and thugs in this little village one day. What we found was about a six year old boy on a bed in the middle of the yard. He was surrounded by his family and horde of flies. He also had a hole in his abdomen about the size of a .50 cent piece that was black with infection. Apparently he was going through surgery for something and Saddam told the doctors to stop working on him because the family blah blah blah (what we got from the terp). It doesn't really matter why, what matters is we got him some attention and helicopter ride to Anaconda so he could get well. Thats why we are there. Should we be there? I don't know that either but we are so we have to finish as best we can.
