Internal dialogue - equally good.
Man, I was just running thru stories on the internet and I saw it.
This needed attention - They managed to free 150 more bad guys - and that is what they are. That probably means 4 or 5 more of our kids are going to die.
That deserves our attention, I think.

It's getting pretty harry over there, and I ain't sure this redeployment to the backwaters is gonna work well for the troops.

Watch the north. It will break down there. No doubt in my mind.
This is not really a bad thing - not for me - not for us.
I am not an expert on Iraq - the truth is the things I have come to understand were only because my kid was there - you know??
But understand this - they don't like anybody - certainly not any foreigner interfering with their issues. The day we are no longer the issue - foreign fighters will be.
That day, they will kill them for us.
Fine with me.

11. Well, the Kurds always get fucked in the end. |
|
Turkey is slobbering and Iran would jump if it thought it could as well.
I'd prefer the Kurds kill invaders for themselves, not us, but only time will tell what will go down there.
I like to think of boarders as firewalls and armies like virus control. If it ain't invited in, kill it. They stop bad choices of one countries leadership or citizens from infecting another.
Don't get me wrong, I'm still Semper-Fi, but I can't blame someone for defending his own turf either.
Why do the hawks always get us into shit we can't defend, and blame us for not defending it being the reason they fail?

12. God help me - I agree with the Kurds. |
|
I think there may be an interest in the United States in standing up for them. I do. Morrally.
They are fairly normal up there. They wear blue jeans and listen to rock. I saw some of their developments - they could have been from Sherman Oaks.
I am pretty anti-war - but even I have no interest in letting them fall.
They don't even think they are Iraqi - how can we let people like that fail??
You know?

13. From what I understand |
|
they have decent relations with Israel, so I can't see us letting them go down completely without some form of help.

14. They are pretty 21st century. |
|
Yeah - they are just fine with Isreal.
In my heart - we have no choice but to protect those people.
And the rest of Iraq can go to hell.

15. If they chose to kill each other |
|
to hold sway in the country, we can't stop it forever, thats for sure.
Giving up our blood and treasure to hold off the date of that "great gettin up mornin" is only prolonging the bloodshed.
At some point they will have to sink or swim.
