Irag Piss Poor Compared to 911
There was more fighting and carnage in Gulf War 1 than this piddling latest. This was not a war but a training exercise, a rattling of sabers, gunboat diplomacy. The military provided more information in Gulf War 1 than all the embedded and free-lancers in the latest. Almost no gunship videos and bombs hitting targets compared to GW1, while the US was smothered with talking heads doing not much different than they did in the studio. The videos in Baghdad showed kiddie versions of Iraqi defenses lighting up the sky, just boring shots of a few vehicles moving as if there was nothing much going on. No cowering journalists, breaking glass, running for the basement. If you wanted to kill reporting you could hardly have done better than putting the mouthpieces in the field far from the bombing, and mostly away from the diddly shit combat. The purpose of the war seems to be to scare the bejesus out of likely targets, a display of power a notch or two above a war game, but nothing as thrilling as a movie -- which are showing more warporn and gore than was shown in GW2. The attack on WTC and the Pentagon was much superior politics, theater, diplomacy, art, entertainment, grief, shock and awe. War porn lovers will just have to replay those tapes until a great blockbuster comes again. A liquified gas tanker in San Diego Bay and another off Staten Island. Tens of the highest hazard dams (thousands of them still listed and ranked on the Internet). Several stadia of sports fans. 5 or 6 suspension bridges. None of these need a MOAB to cause more casualties than GWB's GW2. Welfare mutants are not the targets, dream on racist greedy motherfuckers, your fat GWB predatory life style is. The military can't protect you from terrorists, nor can the police from mutants outfucking you every day. Blue-eyed supremacists are chasing the dodo, guns and bombs ineffectual.

Seems might effectual to me. Compare terrorism before the Afghan war with terrorism after the Afghan war. We cannot compare terrorism before and after the Iraq war, because there is not enough of it, but the protests in the arab street provide a pretty good proxy. Observe that victory in Iraq has silenced the arab street. Read Al Jazeera. It is singing a new tune. --digsig James A.

Terrorists don't protest in the street, that's for ineffectuals dancing the tune of yarping heads. Bitchers don't do shit except bark a mighty wind. Killers don't tell you what they are going to do. You get to see it in the news or your daughter's head go bowling ball. 19 did 3,000: mighty effectual. Tommy Franks with 300,000 did mighty less. 250 million fish in a barrel.
