The War

We don't seem to be prosecuting this war as well as we could be, for two main reasons:

  • We're trying so hard to minimize civilian casualties (and doing a darn good job at it too), but at the expense of our military operations. Why have we left their TV intact so that it can continue to spew propaganda?
  • We're too concerned about our image. This is the first war we've actually had reporters reporting live from battles. I watched our troops get held up for like 3 hours at "the battle of Um Qasr" by a small number of Iraqi soldiers. We didn't have to try very hard, but it still took a long time, most likely because we didn't want to use as much force as we otherwise would have only because there was a reporter filming the whole thing.

I'm really upset that the bastards have captured some of our soldiers. I heard gruesome descriptions of what they did to our POWs during Gulf War I. I just really hope Iraq is faking it with the American uniforms they're supposed to have.

Asshole reporter just overheard:

"Are you afraid that this is another Vietnam, or do you just suffer from over-confidence?"

Another Vietnam? Hello, we've been at war for like 4 days!
