Iraq burns..Where is Nero?

Where is the General who was after the Iraqi hearts and minds while Iraq is burning, its people we were to protect dyeing? Is he off tending to the latest inner feelings of the new government who does not even want our military harassing his citizens any longer?

His citizens, that is a joke of cosmic proportions, he has as much control of Iraq as the man and women living down the street from him. He stands idly by along with the hearts and minds military leader we entrusted to take care of Iraq watching and wondering what to do.

We have undertaken a sacred trust, we took control of a country, we went in and we did the job, our military preformed spectacularly and now what. At least, that must be the questions on the Pentagon’s mind tonight as Iraq goes straight to hell.

All of this and they have the stupidity to make those torture allegations at outgoing Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld? Here is the big scoop for the day folks, looks like old Rummy was the only one human being who had any handle on Iraq.

My fellow Ranter, Wild Bill could fill a blog with what the problems are, I can as well, but honestly, I am so totality ticked off by the present chain of events that if I actually write what in on my mind there is a chance it would be censored and pulled. I once made a vow never to have to stoop into the trash heap of America’s mind to write about something that I believed in, therefore, I will simply say how personally disgusting I am over this course of action.

Our war in the 1960 has proved that hearts and minds campaigns do not work, not without superior firepower to back it up. We need to be ready at a moments notice to send in troops to do what is needed in any situation to stop the escalating violence.

This recent actions will no doubt lead to better military thinking and actions, we will just have to wait and see. One thing is this is certain, if something is not put into action immediately, then a lot of brave men and women gave their all for nothing and as someone who is in that class along with many other friends, we do not wish to see that happen.
