Answer me THAT Senator McCain!!
It depends on which idiot liberal politician you listen to... one stated that McCain claimed that "we'd be mired in Iraq for 100 years". BTW, McCain never said that. He stated that there could be an American presence in Iraq for possibly a hundred years. Big difference. A presence could be no more than a couple of battalions.
And how about that one commercial that says that McCain said that he'd be there for a THOUSAND years? Where'd they come up with that number? If they mean any reference to Christendom's fight against islam... new flash -- that war has already been taking place for 1,400 years. And it very well may take another thousand.
But as far as American troops being in a war zone, former or otherwise, I won't bring up the 60+ years that we've had combat troops in Germany, Japan and Italy... I won't bring up the 55+ years that we've had combat troops in Korea. No, nothing as obvious as that.
I want to know why the Defeatocrats haven't gone ballistic over American combat troops being in this certain Theater of Operations for over ONE HUNDRED YEARS?
When will our boys come home? *Wringing of hands!!*
How much longer must we be bogged down in this quagmire? *Beating of breast!!*
Allow me to be the first to scream from the rooftops --
The Spanish-American War ended in 1898!
Amen to that!
ReplyDeleteI spent my first duty station at Guantanomo Bay. I was only 18 at the time. I spent a whole year there. 7 days guarding the line, 3 day weekend, then the rest of the week at the Barracks, then back to the line again.
Here's how much that duty station sucked: I was running 5 miles a day up and down ridge lines. After that I would hit the weight room.
And I was drinking a fifth of Jack Daniels straight out of the bottle every weekend we had off.
I was probably in the best shape of my life there, but I think I may have caused serious damage to my liver.
Yes, bring them home!
