Remember Gu...Have to agree with Kenny on this one.<br /><br />Remember Gulf War I when Daddy Bush bombed the holy bejesus out of Iraqi command and control, air defense, infrastructure, and troop positions for about five-and-a-half weeks before sending in a single U.S. ground combatant who wasn't special forces?<br /><br />I'll never forget the film that started pouring in after about the third week of the bombing in February '91. Thousands upon thousands of Iraqi soliders (many being Republican Guard) swarming towards U.S. positions while waving white flags and holding their arms up in the air.<br /><br />After three weeks of getting their asses pounded by F-117 surgical strikes and massive B-52 carpet bombing, they just decided to say, "Fuck this and fuck Saddamn. We surrender."<br /><br />If there's one thing I question about Bush's policy on Iraq II is why he didn't start with the massive air strikes like his father used more than a decade earlier. I know, I know... international opinon. Well, screw that. It's an election year. The world would have been pissed, but now the war would truly be over, we wouldn't have causalties, and the American electorate would be thrilled to death.<br /><br />This is probably the sole area where Bush II would have been wise to follow in daddy's presidential footsteps.<br /><br />CSWYGUAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7133703.post-1087587058937702592004-06-18T15:30:00.000-04:002004-06-18T15:30:00.000-04:00See, if we'da bombed the shit out of the other sid...See, if we'da bombed the shit out of the other side, rather than strategic strikes and a mostly 'humane' war, the other side would be this tired of fighting.<br /><br />You have to wonder, too, how the reporters choose their men on the streets. This one probably walked into a group hanging out together (and hanging out together because they share similar beliefs) and just wrote down what they said.Ken Wheatonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09613207405497669632noreply@blogger.com
