An Amazing Display of Precision

I find it
interesting that you always find the extreme right on the outside of the
perimeter fence around any military installation. Those inside are
usually
not quite so vociferous.

Haven't been to many Marine bases, have you?

I have two nephews in Iraq, a daughter in the AF and another in the Navy.

incredible results.

I wonder, was it confirmed, after the fact, that these people were
actually fighters en route to a nearby fire-fight? I sure hope so,
but y'know what with the blast damage and all, it might be kinda hard
to identify anything.

I've seen that same footage posted and it was supposedly a wedding party
and not combatants. Only those who were there know what it was in
reality.

There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing
as simply messing around with airplanes.

Maybe they were just out jogging.

maybe the muslim veil was lifted from the bride and hence the resulting
"fleeing" of the building?

It was also reported that the "wedding party" was at 3am on the Syrian
border.

Nicely lowered tone, Doug. But you still didn't answer the question.
Having someone in and losing someone to the cause are two different things.

And just how stable is this democracy going to be, when (1) the
population has essentially no experience in running a democracy, (2)
they have essentially no stake in the formation of that democracy (since
it is, in essence, being imposed upon them, rather than being something
they've earned), and (3) are part of a culture where there is a
significant faction that seriously believes a democracy is blasphemy
because it is not a theocracy based on "the true word".

You forgot (4) The US really doesn't want a democracy there.

Consider: A real democracy would rapidly devolve into a shiite theocracy.
They're the majority, after all.

What the US wants to see is somewhat more complex, and very poorly
explained: a nation-state where religion is kept as far out of government
as possible, and the rights of the minorities are protected so strictly
that a "tyranny of the majority" cannot effectively occur.

That the current administration needs to push this is just one of too many
ironies.

Jay,
Not many Marine, but I was in the USAF for 7 years. While the sentiments
often run very deep in military people, they tend to carry their thoughts a
little less overtly than some other segments of the public, was my main
point.
