If you think I posted anything emotional, then get your ears on - you don't yet know what may be coming We are now at the edge of a cliff in Iraq. It is that desperate. Total withdrawal (military defeat) is our only option in a few months. Total disintegration of Iraq will be inevitable; determined by what we do in a next few months. All options will terminate probably at then end of this year. Tell me where panic is in this reality.
Did you notice an emergency deployment of aircraft carriers apparently to the Gulf? Why not? If you think for one minute that I have expressed emotions - then insufficient grasp of logic exists. Most every Cellar Dweller was in ostrich mode years ago - denying what was regarded as an alarmist posts. Did you foresee a thousand dead Americans years ago? Why not? Because that reality was too alarmist back then?
I don't mock. That you even suspected mockery suggests an ostrich grasp of reality still remains. 10,000 casualties is not for one minute an emotion – it is a fact. If you perceive emotion in what was posted, then why is your grasp of reality not so ruthless?
To not stand up for the troops now - to "Stay the Course" - is to hate soldiers as we did to the troops in Vietnam. 20,000 casualties was not mockery. 20,000 is directly traceable to indecision and a lying president. ‘Calm down’ suggests one is too many years behind reality – also called ‘denial’. Nothing posted was emotional. That attitude will be normal in a few years if we don’t save those troops lives now.
They don’t decide to be wasted casualties. We do that - now. Options are about to expire. How many thousands will die is decided in these next few months by us. One who does not see the cliff would say, “Calm down”. Do you see that cliff, headsplice? If not, then why not ... is what you should be asking. All options are about to expire. Why do you not yet see the cliff?
