I am unfamiliar with any Chittum prediction that has not come true with alarming regularity and timeliness.
Here’s a choice piece of leather to chew on from the end of the article …
Tom Chittum:
And the neo-carpetbaggers have wised up to the situation, too:
“It’s not nearly as safe as they said it was,” said Brian Krause, vice president and senior blowout specialist for Houston-based Boots and Coots. “We’re kind of sitting ducks out there.”
Mark my words, entire units will mutiny. The national guard and reserve units will be the first to tell the brass to stuff it and just go on strike. Some of those national guard and reserve geezers are pushing sixty, and I’ve heard reports that some are dropping dead of heart attacks in the heat. The female “soldiers” are getting pregnant to get a ticket out, and you can bet the guys are shooting themselves in the feet for the same reason. Within six months it will be clear to everyone on the planet Earth that the Iraqi People will defeat the Axis of Looting. The Dollar will go south. It will be interesting to see what the boys at Langleywood come up with then. It might be “Osama Nukes Kansas” or “Mexicans Burn Los Angeles.” Whatever circus they put on in the media Coliseum it had better be good because there isn’t going to be enough bread for all the peasants.
I don’t agree with Chittum’s assessment of the fitness of our army nor with with his prediction that entire units will mutiny, but some of his guesses seem plausible. It does look like the situation is rapidly becoming a “no-win” occupation for the U.S.
Jesus, Gary, that was really uncalled for. I took the liberty of deleting it so I don’t have to look at it again.
Between that and your infamous joke about getting an erection when you stab a baby, I kind of have to wonder. Then there’s the fact that you liked League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. What kind of monster are you?
I’m so emotionally numb that only the most vile and offensive images are capable of stirring any kind of reaction within my black, black soul. But I shall refrain from inflicting them any further on sensitive QT3ers now that I’ve discovered that it is possible to incite content-based censorship here after all.
