CRUSTY MINGE posted:Well, compared to Vietnam... The blowing poo poo up part? Oh yeah no doubt we won that part. We're GOAT at that part. Problem is we blew poo poo up and didn't leave much else behind. The fact we're still sending combat forces to Iraq fifteen years later says it all really.  shame on an IGA posted:WTF IIRC, this is a formality that still leads to him getting charged and he's still got the other charges hanging over him.

Can't lose a war if you don't have any objectives Or Its easy to win a war when your only objective is the enrichment of your friends and family

Handsome Ralph posted:IIRC, this is a formality that still leads to him getting charged and he's still got the other charges hanging over him. He's still hosed. Correct. Greitens was successfully able to get the prosecutor added as a witness to his case because of some claimed perjury by a private investigator. The charges are not dropped permanently, but the prosecutor herself cannot pursue the case as a result. Greitens is only kicking the can down the road. He is still being impeached and his party is still calling for his resignation.

Jacob Wohl is a chud huckster that started a "hedge fund" in uh...Arizona? I think, scammed some people out of money, got his pecker whacked by the SEC, had his daddy step in to save him, and is now a thunk leader for the trumpsters.

It's not a good sign for him when the GOP isn't willing to excuse the crimes of one of ARE TROOPS. He's hosed and he deserves it.

If we have objectives then the terrorists will wait us out by working to prevent us from achieving them by working against them. If we don't know what they are then they won't either.

Torrannor posted:Cribbing from another thread: The "Trump" in Hebrew looks like "David" if you sqint at it just right. Since the two legs of premillennialist dispensationalism (why religious conservatives are gaga for Israel) are breathtakingly fanciful squinting and outdoing schizophrenics for making spurious connections, I wonder if someone will try to elevate Trump from Cyrus to King David.

Given that -One of David's sons, Amnon, raped his half-sister Tamar, -Another son, Absalom, then killed Amnon, -Then rebelled against David, dying in the process, and then -The son who actually survived to get the throne, Solomon, somehow got a reputation for sublime wisdom despite wasting so much money on palaces and stupid useless navies that his son instituted such a ruinous tax policy that he told his subjects that "my father scourged you with whips, but I will scourge you with scorpions," a Trump-David parallel would at least result in some interesting gossip.

If we survive this we need to stop returning Israel's calls. Edit: I hope that doesn't count as employment. Milo doesn't have a job anymore and isn't a citizen, so it stands to reason that he should be getting deported.

David was enamored with one of his officers wives, slept with her, then put the officer at the front of a charge in a later battle to be sure he got killed.

DAS Super! posted:I thought finding Saddam's WMDs wad the objective? The chem stockpiles were found. A lot of them were buried then either destroyed by engineers and EOD or dug up by the insurgency and used with IEDs. There were a few news articles a year or so back about how guys were getting hosed on getting treated for nerve and cardio system damage that lines up with sarin, tabun and other poo poo Saddam had because some dickfuck at the Pentagon was being a shitter about admitting some of Saddam's poo poo that we made, sold, or supervised during Iran/Iraq was still out there. CRUSTY MINGE posted:
I'd say you're half right. De-Ba'athification was a shitshow. Got everyone from the card carrying stormtrooper commanders to the county dog catcher. I know this because we had to shoot more than a few ferals and the roads really went to poo poo from 2003 to 2009. I had a loving point and now I'm mad again and can't remember it. Oh yeah, made the initial objectives fine but really failed on the follow through. Just the change in local attitude from invasion to say, Abu Ghraib. And Saddam totally had WMDs. From the 80s. When we sold them. And those aluminum tubes were left over from his supergun, which was being built by a Canadian supervillian. Who Israel assassinated. And we still don't have a movie about.

Yeah I've always hated that talking point. "CHECKMATE LIBERALS, WE DID INDEED FIND SADDAM HAD WMD STOCKPILES...*whispers*that were from the late 1980's at the latest, were degrading, and *cough* we didn't find evidence that they had resummed full scale production like we said they did...BUT THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA, WON'T REPORT THEM FACTS, NO SIR."

Part of the point I was going for. Again want to re-iterate the part where officials decided to gently caress dudes over on VA coverage because admitting some old poo poo was unaccounted for would be a bad OER point. Old article https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/10/14/world/middleeast/us-casualties-of-iraq-chemical-weapons.html Edit: took long enough to find the article that you guys went over poo poo already.
