Private AJ stuck his teenage tongue out all the way down to the end of his chin. "Yeah, well that stuff's way over my head," he said.

     Ooh, it's sweet to give us such an image so we know how much AJ's girlfriend must miss him. Oh wait, I missed it didn't I? Tongue to his chin, kind of like all the old paintings of devils? Ok, AJ is the Devil, got it, I'm caught up now.
     Umm, I went looking for these polls he mentions next and couldn't find them... Somebody give me a hand? It's hard to respond to things I can't find. I suck at web surfing...

It is unlikely that British and American troops fighting in Iraq are aware that their governments supported Saddam Hussein both politically and financially through his worst excesses.

     It is? Huh, I wonder why it's unlikely that soldiers would have info that was pretty common knowledge... Hell, I knew that when I was 16. Oh wait, how familiar is the author with the idea of "Freedom of the Press?"

The phenomenal logistics of Operation Iraqi Freedom make it a universe unto itself. It doesn't need to justify its existence any more. It exists. It is.

     Yup, which is why we all need to support our troops.

"Iraq. Will. Be. Liberated." (Perhaps he means that even if Iraqi people's bodies are killed, their souls will be liberated.) American and British citizens owe it to the supreme commander to forsake thought and rally behind their troops. Their countries are at war. And what a war it is.

     Nah, I figure if he meant that then we'd be talking about the great Iraqi glass sheet by now. But yeah, we should rally behind our troops. The thinking part is actually continuous though. The doing something is for election day. You see we can actually vote on wether or not to keep him, cool huh?

After using the "good offices" of UN diplomacy (economic sanctions and weapons inspections) to ensure that Iraq was brought to its knees, its people starved, half a million of its children killed, its infrastructure severely damaged, after making sure that most of its weapons have been destroyed, in an act of cowardice that must surely be unrivalled in history, the "Allies"/"Coalition of the Willing"(better known as the Coalition of the Bullied and Bought) - sent in an invading army!

     Would it have been preferable to just level the country from the air?

Operation Iraqi Freedom? I don't think so. It's more like Operation Let's Run a Race, but First Let Me Break Your Knees.

     Heh, well as long as we all know who's going to win...

So far the Iraqi army, with its hungry, ill-equipped soldiers, its old guns and ageing tanks, has somehow managed to temporarily confound and occasionally even outmanoeuvre the "Allies". Faced with the richest, best-equipped, most powerful armed forces the world has ever seen, Iraq has shown spectacular courage and has even managed to put up what actually amounts to a defence.

     Yeah, that sandstorm they put up really slowed us down. Oh wait, that was nature? Sorry, my bad. So yeah, they've done pretty well surrendering and then shooting us when we accept the surrender. Pehaps we should shoot everyone we see? That might keep us from being "outmanoeuvred." Just a thought.
     Actually, this is kinda fun. Maybe I'll do more later but for now I think this post has gone way to long and I've got some other threads I wanted to check.
