Twelve years ago today, the US attacked and invaded Iraq


Where were you and what were you doing when it happened?

I was, honestly, flat on my back in my living room watching images of Baghdad in flames.







You were flat on your back drunk asshole.

I was watching the improbable run of Syracuse to the 2003 NCAA Men's Basketball Championship begin, on a screen that was at least 12 feet in diagonal size.  Man, those explosions look tiny there, compared to the OTB Teletheater . . . ! :whistling:

I disremember where I was, but I remember thinking it was about :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: time it got started.

And the primitives were whining about it being a "rush to war."

What'd it take?  Seventeen months or something?

9. I was at Fort Benning, GA finished up some training before heading to my unit in Germany

I was a newly commissioned Infantry officer.

I was completing the Mechanized Infantry Leaders Course. During the buildup to the war I was busy with Ranger School and Airborne School and lost contact with what was going on in the outside world but I remember thinking "What the hell does Iraq have to do with anything?".

Wow, so in this "rush to war", you completed Airborne school, I'll assume RAP, since it's required for Ranger School, Ranger school (all phases?), and were completing a Bradley leadership course.

You were on the accelerated program, huh?

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

I didn't mean to sound so cavalier, being a lifelong professional civilian who never had to face war, an armchair hawk, but damn.

I didn't care if Saddam had anything to do with 9/11 or not.

What I cared about was that he was a genocidal tyrant, and should've been taken out back in 1991, before he had the chance to murder any more of his own people.

And this seemed as good an opportunity to take him out, although really, it should've happened about twelve years earlier.

I was working a survival job at a near hole-in-the-wall (they knew where to put the trash cans to catch drips during rainstorms) company that produced electronic products for the military. The company wasn't horrible, nor its people, it just was a far cry from the Libs' and Progs' stereotypes of a defense contractor.

They're trying to gin up a, "Everybody knows what they were doing when they heard JFK had been," moment for the start of the liberation of Iraq.

I agree.

I do find it ironic that one of the things that the libs (especially on DU) supposedly hate George W for is killing muslims and the other thing they hate him for is stopping Saddam from killing muslims.

I sort of think we'd be better off if Saddam, Assad, and Mubarak were still firmly in power, killing their own muzzies as required for domestic tranquility.

But far more muzzies have been killed in the past ten years or so than would otherwise have been the case, so it's all good.
