William Arkin is an Ass...

A bigger ass than even J-Lo's. In a story I stumbled upon by reading BLACKFIVE (like I need the aggravation), Wild Bill Arkin tells us things like,

I've been mulling over an NBC Nightly News report from Iraq last Friday in which a number of soldiers expressed frustration with opposition to war in the United States...
...I'm all for everyone expressing their opinion, even those who wear the uniform of the United States Army. But I also hope that military commanders took the soldiers aside after the story and explained to them why it wasn't for them to disapprove of the American people.

Or this gem

These soldiers should be grateful that the American public, which by all polls overwhelmingly disapproves of the Iraq war and the President's handling of it, do still offer their support to them, and their respect.

Through every Abu Ghraib and Haditha, through every rape and murder, the American public has indulged those in uniform, accepting that the incidents were the product of bad apples or even of some administration or command order.

Well you know what Bill, and all you other twits who agree with him...I've got something for you. It's been building up for a while now but this clown put the pin in the party hog with his tripe. I APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE FOR THE LANGUAGE.

I am consistently amazed at how people who have never even served one day in uniform seem to have all the answers and understand EXACTLY what is going on in a country with a culture so different from their own that they would think they were on another planet if they experienced it themselves. It's sanctimonious twits like Bill, who with their imbecilic rantings about how I am the one who should be greatful that people don't spit on me and others with their pronouncements of our impending doom who encourage our enemies and endanger those you half heartedly state that you "support". Every time someone in the press talks about quitting it goes straight to JAM, AQI and every other enemy headquarters in Iraq. If Hadji was thinking about giving it all up for working in the oil fields or whatever else he might want to do...you just gave him a big ol' pep talk...thanks a lot douchbag. Why don't you just wrap up a new Ak-47 and sent it in the mail "To Any Terrorist"? If we go down to defeat it's you and cockgobblers like you who will have caused it. All you guttless whiney bastards who are only for the war if it can be won on the cheap. If it takes too long or the enemy actually decides to make a go of it, or heaven forbid the chain of command is not perfect and makes some false steps...just pick up your toys and quit...to hell with the conciquences. "It's too hard.. I'm tired of seeing it on the news every night." Hey, FUCK YOU...I'm tired of seeing it every day first hand. Listen FUCKTARDS...if we don't fight them here and we leave they will go to where they can fight us. WHY CAN"T YOU GET THIS THROUGH YOUR THICK FUCKING HEADS? And for all your cowardly sniviling boobs in congress (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE) why don't you grow a pair?

Finally here's a quote from John Stewart Mill...

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.
