Many US lawmakers opposing health care reform need to be asked why it's OK for Iraqis but not Americans, Mark Dorlester writes for the Huffington Post. Article 31 of the Iraqi Constitutionmade possible by the war, and hailed as a victory by the Bush administrationguarantees every Iraqi state-funded health care, a provision Dorlester thinks would be slammed as out-of-control socialism by right-wingers if it applied to Americans.

Jimmy Carter, you are the father of the Islamic Nazi movement. You threw the Shah under the bus, welcomed the Ayatollah home, and then lacked the spine to confront the terrorists when they took our embassy and our people hostage. You're the runner-in-chief..

The Shah's cruelty and corruption doomed him from the start. Not only that, the Iranians had a just greviance with our government as we financed the overthrow of a legitimate government by the Shaw for the benefit of our oil companies.

no fuckhead, over a period of time the weight of the oil shuts off the gas and must be pumped off, which I get paid for but had the hole been perfectly dry of oil would have been less expensive and les maintaince on the hole

It's a widely circulated email (thanks for emptying for junk folder on us once again) that orginated with an essay by Command Sergeant Major J.D. Pendry who served in the U.S. Army (not Marine Corps- as incorrectly posted in the spam).
Many other inaccuracies appear in the edited-for-spam version.
Please feel free to point out any "inaccuracies" in this one, since I received it neither as spam or in my junk folder.

With Iran's great oil wealth, Mohammad Reza Shah became the pre-eminent leader of the Middle East, and self-styled "Guardian" of the Persian Gulf. He became increasingly despotic during the last years of his regime. In the words of a US Embassy dispatch, The Shahs picture is everywhere. The beginning of all film showings in public theaters presents the Shah in various regal poses accompanied by the strains of the National anthem... The monarch also actively extends his influence to all phases of social affairs...there is hardly any activity or vocation which the Shah or members of his family or his closest friends do not have a direct or at least a symbolic involvement. In the past, he had claimed to take a two party-system seriously and declared If I were a dictator rather than a constitutional monarch, then I might be tempted to sponsor a single dominant party such as Hitler organized.[24]
However, by 1975, he abolished the multi-party system of government so that he could rule through a one-party state under the Rastakhiz (Resurrection) Party in autocratic fashion. All Iranians were pressured to join in. The Shahs own words on its justification was; We must straighten out Iranians ranks. To do so, we divide them into two categories: those who believe in Monarchy, the constitution and the Six Bahman Revolution and those who dont.... A person who does not enter the new political party and does not believe in the three cardinal principles will have only two choices. He is either an individual who belongs to an illegal organization, or is related to the outlawed Tudeh Party, or in other words a traitor. Such an individual belongs to an Iranian prison, or if he desires he can leave the country tomorrow, without even paying exit fees; he can go anywhere he likes, because he is not Iranian, he has no nation, and his activities are illegal and punishable according to the law.[25] In addition, the Shah had decreed that all Iranian citizens and the few remaining political parties must become part of Rastakhiz.[26]

The American military at the end of the Cold War was a formidable force, large in
size, very well equipped, and quite capable of meeting any conceivable Soviet
warfare challenge, nuclear or conventional. Its recovery from Vietnam was total. The
Reagan Build-up, a major infusion of funds and technology that occurred in the
1980s, had allowed the military to modernize its weapons, doctrine, and training. It
had learned to recruit and motivate effectively an all-volunteer force, a no small feat
for a military long used to the cheap labor of conscription. Thoughts of honing its
fast fading counter-insurgency skills or of a search to discover how best to
participate in peace-keeping and nation-building ventures were far from its doctrinal
priorities. Instead, the American military rejoiced in its smashingly fast and near
cost-free defeat of Iraqi forces in Kuwait and planned to implement further
improvements in its conventional war-fighting capabilities.
These improvements, often referred to as the Precision Revolution, were based on
advances in sensor, radar masking, robotic, and targeting technologies and were
intended to allow American forces to detect, classify, and destroy targets precisely
with low risk and at expanding distances. The high casualty rate of Vietnam is
unsustainable with an all volunteer force. And absent a serious threat to its own
security, the American public's tolerance for civilian casualties inflicted by American
forces-collateral damage-is very limited. The rapid and seemingly decisive victories
in the American invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq featured such advances, the
product of a decade long effort by the military to implement the operational lessons
of the Gulf War while trimming force structure to adjust to the Soviet Union's demise.

The issue is not the war-fighting capabilities of the US Military but rather it is rooted in current doctrine. With a lack of of a clear objective, and a clear mission, and once again doctrine that implies the military engage in nation building rather than war-fighting we will find ourselves mired in conflict for sometime to come. The US Military if it is committted to battle should engage with a clear objective, do so with massive strike capability and leave no doubt as to the outcome and one achieved exit. If this nation does not plan to commit to battle in Afghanistan or does so using the current doctrine, or engages in a half-ass manner, it would serve the nation and expecially the young men and women fighting it to just exit the conflict.

What was it in Iraq, after the initial Success that left such a void, for so long, rudderless? Where was The State Department during all of that? Dare I ask, Who's side were They on?
Way what happened Totally unforeseen? Be it devastation from War or Natural Disaster, We All benefit from Foresight, Planning, and Preparedness.
