Wow, we just need to stop handing out free weapons.

I watched an excellent episode on Frontline about the NRA. The thesis was that because of Bill Clinton and Al Gore going after the NRA, the NRA got active and Al Gore lost and gave us George W. Bush. Qty 8 years.

This doesn’t make any sense to me. “Here, we gave you some stuff so you can defend yourself. But you didn’t use it to defend yourself, or at all really, and now that our stuff is in the enemy’s hands, we’re sending you more. Oh, and we will continue to train you, apparently to no avail.”

Oh for the love of all that is holy, please don’ let them send over our A-10’s!

Same. And we can use our own equipment for target practice.

And why did we do all of that in the first place? I’ve lost track.

I’m not certain to be honest.

Think he just means that some gun runs are in order.

Oh...well then...I agree!

Because when we invaded in 2003 we totally disbanded their military and attempted to build a new one from scratch. That was stupid, and now we are paying the price.

Not that the pre-existing one was any better...

They were good enough to keep garbage like this from raping their country until we wrecked it.

I’m not so sure garbage like this was even around with sufficient numbers until after we wrecked it. This crap is the result of a power vacuum, a power vacuum that didn’t exist when Saddam and the Taliban were major forces.
The USA excels at creating power vacuums and then failing to fill them with the right players. We have a knack for always putting despicable, weak slime-balls in charge, who then turn around and rape their populations for all they are worth before bailing on or dying in a justifiable revolution.

This makes me sad :(

I know, I think it would be less of a clusterfuck if they had let Saddam continue his shit.

It would also be less of a cluster-fuck if the USA would listen to the people in these countries and not its own pockets. Same shit happened in Afghanistan in the ‘80s; USA helps them knock out the USSR invasion, but then packs up and leaves without helping the Afghani people rebuild. Or how about Syria and Libya today? They beg and plead for US aid against bad regimes, and the USA says no. Then the militant radicals see an opening and, as the only ones saying yes and having results, they get power.
It’s stupid, it’s politics.

Which means that the USAF is now also well equipped... with targets.

We should bomb all of that crap while it’s still parked in the depots.
We created such a mess over there.
