Weapons Grade Weapons
It irritates me greatly that Blinky McFuckup and Team ClusterFuck let 300+ tons of brisant material walk away from an ammo dump in Iraq. Why not just hand out RPGs and shoulder launched missiles on the street corners and declare Iraq a free fire zone?
This news nugget also revives an old anger. So how did Saddam get so good at the art and science of armaments? Among the many reasons I left the defense industry for good was disgust with the Reagan/Bush foreign policy of mollycoddling tyrants, so long as they were "friendly" to our short term interests.
Saddam was Ronnie and Poppy's bulwark against radical Shi'ism, and this mess is the fruit of almost a century of failed policies, including the 16 year Reagan-Bush Reign of Error.
I may be a bit early, but let me be the first to say: Four More Days! Four More Days!
