The same UN whose units from Pakistan and Malaysia rescued the US
Marines in Somalia after the US decided on some 'unilateral
decisive
force' was in order, see 'Blackhawk down' for the most US
friendly
'version' of events.

LOL! You are truly clueless. Can you tell me which USMC unit they
"rescued"?
Ah I think I see what your getting at the 'Marines' I Mentioned from
Memory were 'Rangers' and 'Delta force' that were rescued - at least I
think that's what you are on about?.

Are the Rangers and Delta guys Marines? You can't even get your basic facts
right, amigo.

Ah I can now see where your coming from,just because I got the units
name wrong, then whole basic premise of the UN rescuing the (insert
actual units in trouble and desperate for help) is false!,
fascinating!.

Kevin world is a scary place isn't it.


You use them sparingly, in conjunction with foreign peacekeepers and
local police, remember were trying to diffuse a difficult situation
created by a gung ho attitude, that's not easy to dispel, if at all
possible.

What "gung ho" attitude? Any specific cites to support that? And it is nice
to know that you have now backed away from your original plan to discard the
US forces on "Day One"...

OK here goes, can you name one instance in the USA where 4 homicides
were committed where the US military bombed the local area from
helicopters, tanks, heavy machine guns etc etc etc. in the hope of
citizens handing over the murderers? hell half of New York would be
flat...

Your assertions re Day one are absurd, perhaps in future discussion
you should define what everything means in 'Kevin world' to avoid you
looking like a red necked 'kill them all and let god sort them out'
fellow.

Day one means the first day of operations, this doesn't mean you can't
have all the necessary forces and supplies in place for this event,
First day of the Iraq war didn't mean the US rushing around packing
their bags ready to go to Iraq, they were there, in force, supplied
and ready to go...
What's the definition in Kevin's world?



OK I'm fed up with this thread - Check out someone who you can
identify with he-

Heck, I was fed up by the time I got to the last post, but it was so darned
fun pointing out that your personal critique of the "strategy and tactics"
(and where do you lump in operational art, oh-annointed-one?) was based upon
zilch/zero/nada experience or knowledge of things military, not to mention
reminding you of your continual and rabid anti-US bias in all things,
commercial and governmental, that I figured it would be worth staying
engaged.
Rabid anti US bias ;l-), What's the description you reserve for Al Qa
ida members or Osama Kevin? please tell me as your description of me
doesn't leave you much room to improve (you have to laugh don't you!!
such a patently red faced, vein popping description for someone who
only criticizes the US, )
I have cited a pro US post re the JSF, where's your pro UN one Kevin?.

I'm fine with you having your opinion, but I would like to know if
there are a lot more like you where you live?, (I'm thinking of
booking a holiday and want to avoid areas full of raving extremists)


So you equate being a member of the Baath Party as being de facto proof that
they are known hostiles? Quite a leap you are making there.

Its all about definitions Kevin these people were defined by _your_
Government as hostile before the war, after the war, during the
first year of occupation (remember the 'debaathisation' comments
from your Government), now there's a change of policy and there OK to
join the new improved Iraq.


"There has been some criticism of US tactics from British, Polish and
other commanders."

LOL! There is *always* criticism--even internally, within US forces, no
doubt. Par for the course. So what? My favorite Patton quote went something
like, "If everyone is in agreement, then someone is not thinking."

Do all your friends agree with you, by any chance?


But there all Anti American aren't they, perhaps you wish to share
your thoughts as to why these two US generals are wrong, as to Why
the British are wrong, and the polish too..

No, YOU are anti-American, by dint of your past tirades; they just disagree.
Even you should be able to see the difference.

Apparently the news today is the rest of Washington is coming round
to their way of thinking too, time for some fancy footwork Kevin.

Baathist to join the new Iraqi regime!!, (I know I know, these are
Good Baathists, bad baathists need not apply);-).
Hmmm. sort makes you wonder what happened to all the 'Good Nazi's'
doesn't it.



Out of time to debate this with you further at this point.

No your getting a reality readjustment, the 'US centric' view of the
world has to go through this when it actually meets the rest of the
world, In case you hadn't noticed the Internet is global (I really
should define 'global' as inclusive of outside of the US)

Go back to your
"Typhoon is Great, and All US Aircraft are Turkeys" website

That's the best thing you've said!, it neatly brings us back on
topic. (My apologies to the group for filling it up OT stuff, I offer
my humble apologies, I couldn't just sit here and not try to help
Kevin get a clue to the opinions of the global village we live in)

and general
bashing of us Yanks,

You don't need bashing, but a collective 'checkup from the neckup'
might be beneficial ;-)

John--it was more entertaining than this misguided
foray of yours into "strategy and tactics" (neither of which you ever
specifically critiqued...).

Ok its a Gentleman's agreement, we will mention it no more, for the
benifit of international relations and RAM.

Good day to you.
