Post-war planning non-existent

“WASHINGTON - In March 2003, days before the start of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, American war planners and intelligence officials met at Shaw Air Force Base in South Carolina to review the Bush administration's plans to oust Saddam Hussein and implant democracy in Iraq.


Near the end of his presentation, an Army lieutenant colonel who was giving a briefing showed a slide describing the Pentagon's plans for rebuilding Iraq after the war, known in the planners' parlance as Phase 4-C. He was uncomfortable with his material - and for good reason.


The slide said: "To Be Provided."

“Wrong, SD. The plan was to march the Allied troops down the Champs d'Ellyse while the liberated French populace showered them with flowers and kisses.”

“LMAO at aero.”

“Guy sounds like he had some serious mental issues. What a whack-nut.”

“Sarge you pitiful motherf*cker.”

“You want to make fun of this guy too?

”

“He's a pitiful motherf*cker whack-nut.”

“So is anybody who gets "war news" from antiwar.com and thinks they're "educated" about what's going on over there.”

“LOL! The more at look at the picture of that guy, the more he looks like a real dufus. Look at that eyebrow thing going on. LOL! What a dork.”

“Come to think of it, I bet his fellow soldiers shot him.”

“What more can I say? Thanks Sarge.”

“You're welcome.

You and anybody else who worship false heros.

That's for you and anybody else who thinks guys who sign up for the military because they want the army college fund or women who sign up to lose weight and end up actually having to fight in a war and then cry about it have some kind of political statement to make ... that they have credibility.

How's your hero Cindy doing these days?”

“That shameful soldier is going to get some wrath according to the "fake" bible.”

“Kings and servants, huh??

Kings are tyrants and servants are slaves.

That's a great belief system.”

It appears that part of his face has been reconstructed.
My guess is that is from his war injury.

Sarge, you're a real sweetheart.”

“LOL! Tell him that.

His face wasn't reconstructed. He's just a dufus. I can't believe you said that about him! LOL!

Any war injury he got was either in the back or from a fellow soldier trying to save American lives.”

“You're in Lah-Lah Land, Sarge.

Isn't it time for your alien photos?”
