Interview with U.S. General

In addition to figthing along side his troops 3 or 4 days a week, Brigadier General Daniel P. Bolger has this to say about our Iraqi allies:

Patriotism brings Iraqi troops to the recruiting station. Often, I ask them: ‘Why did you join?’ The most common answer I get is, ‘It’s my duty.’ Many have lost family members to terrorists. The Iraqi rifleman makes about $300 equivalent a month, but a terrorist can make that in a night planting one roadside bomb. The guys who fight for money work for the other side. We have the patriots, and that’s why we have the popular support.

1 A big silver lining to all the carnage over there.

2 As opposed to the previous carnage under Saddam, with which libtards had no problem because it wasn't us eeeeeevil white imperialists, but their own kind killing Iraqis, right venom?

3 No, including that, too. The general was referring to the recruiting of Iraqis who were victims of terrorist bombings, not the Saddam era. My comment was based on what the general was saying, but if you want to expand the issue, I'd definitely include the Saddam era, too, as a reason why average Iraqis would want to join the army now. Either way, it's good for the country. I was only referring to the violence that the general was describing.

5 That should inspire everyone here to march to their nearest recruiting station.. Right?

6 No it won't. The US fights for women's rights. Death To women's Rights.

7 I did march down to my recruiter DXD, but I did it 21 years ago, when the Russians were the barbarians at the gate. When are you going? Oh wait, that's right, you're just another chickenshit liberal who challenges others to join, just like Osama urges others to martyrdom, but neither of you seem to have the balls to practice what you preach. Did I mention you're a chickenshit liberal?

8 The worst years for the majority of Iraqis I think were 1980-1992 This would comprise the carnage of the Iraq-Iran war and then the abortive Shia rebellion afterward. http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB82/ Did the leftards fail in preventing this ? Yes. Have we any pictures of say Jane Fonda shaking hands with Saddam durring this time ? Please send a link if you have one.
