Dear Mindsay friends and not so friendly---here's the deal according to the Gar/Bear---hey, its just my take, Ok?

 

All twenty of the original suicide bombers of 9/11 were Saudis. So, why attack Iraq? In my opinion, besides stupidity, greed, and a mis-placed macho desire to please dear old dad, Georgie invaded Iraq to protect the Saudi Princes. Please, hear me out...Saddam was a direct threat to Saudi Arabia and their oilfields (see Kuwait). Bush-Chaney used lies and prevarication to justify an invasion the American people would not have otherwise supported. Of course bin Laden saw the House of Saud as the enemy of his bloody version of radical Islam...as he should. Thus, by removing Saddam from power under the pretext of stopping al Qaeda, Bush-Chaney could support what they saw as the main bulwark against radical Islam in the middle east (The House of Saud). As a result of the indescriminate killing by the U.S. war machine, al Qaeda is now stronger than ever. The irate families of our wounded and dead warriors want to know why their loved ones were sacrificed on the altar of "patriotism", when in reality, as I see it, they died to protect the thoroughly corrupt Princes of Saud.

 

The Afghahn campaign was necessary. The Iraq war was un-necessary and avoidable. Ten years of American bombing left Iraq an impotent sand-pit. Saddam Insane was keeping the lid on the sectarian hatred just fine, at much less cost of human life than Bush Babie's War. During the Iraq-Iran war in the 1980's, we used Iraque as a proxy to fight radical Iranian Muslims without the loss of American lives. We still do the same thing in Isreal. Now, we are losing Americans and slaughtering civilains (many, many children)

just to serve a Bush-Chaney agenda...which was sold to the American electorate with lies and dissembling...

Besides all of the above...we have turned our back on friends and foes alike with pompous posturing, also ignoring our own good citizens, their well-being, their freedoms, and their genuine concerns about a country

devided by these two dumb-clucks and their followers.

Fu.k 'em, I say...I want my respect back, my humanity, my real courage stolen away by a Bush Baby and a Veep that shoots poorly, always looks like he is chewing on a turd, and I am sure might possibly be a cross-dresser still hiding in the closet... I forget, when was the last time these jerks saw combat?

Hey, its just my opinion....Hugs then from

Gary the Gar/Bear---veteran of the Korean War, movie stuntman for 40 years, too old, too tough to be tender in the name of foolishness and callous behavior on the world scene. As Tiny Tim would say, "God Bless us all, and every one!"....

Re: Here's the deal:, greed, stupidity, mania..pls walk out of Georgie's life!
I've heard essentially the same thing when it comes to Saudi Arabia, except that we were afraid he might succeed in invading and procure their vast oil reserves, which is our plan.  We needed to stop him from doing it so we could do it later and his country provides a handy and much needed base of operations. 

lol, The only people that ever think war is great or actively pursue it are those that never have and never will have to step foot on a battlefield. 

There's a great documentary that covers the last fifty years of American militarism up to know called "why we fight", it might even be on youtube but if you ever get a chance I think you'd like it.

Hey, thanks for the tip. I'm going to look for "Why we fight." I also just got a great email from a friend who does a rif on General Pace, before he was replaced. It is mindblowing. As soon as I know how to move email to mindsay, I will post it. Yeah, I served in Korea..actually, Naval Air...coming in on a carrier is like landing on a postage stamp in the middle of a roller derby...lol...but we were still comitted from the bravery of WW2 guys and gals...This administration, to me, does not have a clue....

Best,

Gar/Bear

Not all of them were from Saudi Arabia, I think one was from Egypt and another two from Libya.  I agree that NONE OF THEM WERE FROM IRAQ.  I also wondered why only a few people made the connection between Bin Laden's Saudi heritage (he was an exiled member of a wealthy Saudi family who rubbed elbows with the royals.) This is stuff I knew back in 2001. 

 

Personally, I think the whole invasion of Iraq was a bunch of smoke and mirrors designed to make us feel like we had the upper hand. After 9/11 Americans wanted to punch something (and rightfully so) however, trying to hunt down Al Qaeda and cut off their funding wasn't dramatic enough. So we sent troops into Iraq in order to kick some ass. It's like coming home and kicking the dog when your boss pisses you off.  Look how much coverage the Iraqi war gets and how little coverage the troops in Afghanistan gets. It's absurd!
