Military - September 2006

The CIA trainned and armed the Cuban exiles but they failed many times ! Cubans are not brace warriors! So since Mexico is now a Right Wing- Democracy, should they bring democracy to Cuba and liberate the Cubans?
or Should the USA-Military do that job, like in the Middle East?

I get sick and tired of people bashing our president, they say he led us into Iraq, but he can't just wake up one day and say "my oh my, time to start a war with this country" and then close his eyes and spin a globe and stop it and say "that one" It takes a long time to be able to go to war and there has to be a vote taken place by the people in the executive office and it has to be unanimous to be able to go to war, there is over 535 people in those chairs and obviously most of them voted YES! to go to Iraq, so why is it that most short minded people who need something to complain about every day but doesn't stand up to do anything about it, blame president Bush and not support our troops. You wanna know what I say to those people "IF YOU DON'T SUPPORT THE TROOPS, FEEL FREE TO STAND IN FRONT OF THEM" or they can just go to canada and leave us well enough alone.

I'm a centrist who initially opposed the war. However, I've come to think that the reputation of our nation rests on the outcome of the war in Irak. If we simply withdraw from Irak then the rest of the world will think that we are not the same world power that we used to be and bigger challenges will come from rogue nations as well as those that oppose the interests of the U.S.
Therefore, I'm 100% behind the men and women in Irak and I'm willing to see this thing to the end. That's just my opinion. What is yours?

I'm applying to Air Force OTS and SUPT. I've already passed the MEPS and flight physicals, and my PCSM score is a near-perfect 97 (that's out of 99, not 100 mind you) which would virtually guarantee me of a pilot's slot were it not for my eyesight, which is about 20/200 in both eyes, and disqualifies me from a pilot's slot. It is just about within limits for a navigator position, but I really don't want to have to settle for a nav. slot when I have a such scintillating PCSM score (and I could even bring the score up by one more point if I were to log 40 more flight hours). Is there any type of corrective eye surgery I can undergo to qualify for a pilot's slot? (note: I meet all the other necessary medical qualifications and I'm more than willing to commit to the ten years; several other military pilots have blogged me and said that I should try to have the surgery to qualify for a pilot's slot because I'd be miserable as a navigator).

Are you as tired of Erudite as I am?? If so, there's at least 2 questions posted today that he lists newspaper articles. True to his form, he's changed words and left items out. This is illegal. Go to the questions and report his abuse. We'll at least be rid of him for awhile.

(2 of the questions, someone has gone and listed the actual source or article, so check it out yourself.)

It's a shame I have to waste points on him, but I'm tired and fed up with his lies. If he had a point or a real cause, it'd be different. However, it's bashing our troops, especially the Marines on a daily basis. If it was fact based, it'd be different. However, it's all based on lies and his personal hatred.

40 tortured bodies found in Baghdad .


BAGHDAD, Iraq - The bodies of 40 men who were shot and had their hands and feet bound have been found in the capital over the past 24 hours, police said Thursday.

All the victims showed signs of torture, police Lt. Thayer Mahmoud said. They were dumped in several neighborhoods in both eastern and western Baghdad, he said.

The top U.S. military spokesman in Iraq, Maj. Gen. William B. Caldwell, on Wednesday said murders and executions are currently the main cause of civilian deaths in Baghdad. "We ( Military ) are doing the best we can but we are having a tough time. The enemy is very strong and we thought they were dead enders like the President said 3 years ago. But they ( enemy ) are strong and tough as nails.

Much of the violence has been attributed to death squads, many of which are thought to be offshoots of mainly Shiite militias.

Also Thursday, two Iraqi soldiers were were killed and there is no end in sight.

Poll: Iraqis back attacks on U.S. troops By BARRY SCHWEID, AP Diplomatic Writer
Wed Sep 27, 10:33 PM


WASHINGTON - About six in 10 Iraqis say they approve of attacks on U.S.-led forces, and slightly more than that want their government to ask U.S. troops to leave within a year, according to a poll in that country.

The Iraqis also have negative views of President Bush and Osama bin Laden, according to the early September poll of 1,150.

The poll, done for University of Maryland's Program on International Policy Attitudes, found:

_Almost four in five Iraqis say the U.S. military force in Iraq provokes more violence than it prevents.

_About 61 percent approved of the attacks — up from 47 percent in January. A solid majority of Shiite and Sunni Arabs approved of the attacks, according to the poll. The increase came mostly among Shiite Iraqis.

_An overwhelmingly negative opinion of Bush says the Iraqi people.

Iraq reluctant to go after Shiite militias
NO-TOUCH LISTS, OFF-LIMITS AREAS WORRY SUNNIS, U.S.
By Solomon Moore
Los Angeles Times
BAGHDAD, Iraq - U.S. military officials have stepped up complaints that Iraq's Shiite-led government is thwarting efforts to go after Shiite death squads blamed in execution-style killings of Sunni Arabs in neighborhoods across the capital city.

Although Sunni Arab rebel attacks remain frequent in the capital, U.S. officials, including U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad, say death squads affiliated with Shiite militias have become the main drivers in Baghdad's rising sectarian killings death toll, which totaled at least 5,100 in July and August, according to U.N. figures.

However, the 8,000 U.S. soldiers sent to Baghdad in recent weeks to try to restore order have been largely prevented from confronting those militias, many of which have ties to Iraqi government officials. It looks as if the United States military will lose in the long run.
