I finally figured out why we had more “private contractors” as bodyguards in Iraq than U.S. military personnel.
To protect our corrupt, lying, malicious political leaders from the honest, loyal, dedicated soldiers of the U.S. military.
Say what? You’re offended? If you doubt for one millisecond how duplicitous the U.S. government was and is, recollect the situation in Iraq in the months before we invaded. Iraq had full teams of UN inspectors present at all their nuclear facilities.
There was some bickering and grandstanding over placement of cameras and the presence of American inspectors on the teams, but Iraq was in full compliance.
Fast forward ten years. Iran has a full blown nuclear enrichment program with a hundred thousand centrifuges operating 24/7/365 (Iraq had at most a hundred). Iran has an operational nuclear power plant that just went on line last month, capable of enriching uranium to weapons-grade levels.
They have enough enriched uranium to make several atomic bombs, a hundred uranium mines operating at peak capacity, and intercontinental missiles capable of delivering nuclear warheads to American soil.
There are no UN inspectors in Iran. There are no objections to this by the U.S. or any other world power.
Folks, Saddam Hussein was a pussy cat compared to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Saddam’s Revolutionary Guard was strictly an army.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard controls half the entire Iranian economy and is a vast military-industrial complex with the full and enthusiastic support of the Ayatollah and the religious zealots there.
It’s politically incorrect to even mention Iran as a threat.
That’s insane.
