Quoted: ...former great powers France, Germany and Russia. [nuts] I got a kick out of that too. You can blame them in part, but the total blame lies in the EU. |

I kind of think of the 2003 Iraq War as the [i]Forever Blitzkrieg[/i]. |

Kar's right, to a point...
If you're going to look for a 'historical pattern' of operations that PGWII followed, Blitzkrieg's it... Simultanious air & ground assault, heavy use of armor & maneuver, use of paratroopers (and now airmobile units, since we have helos) to attack 'rear' area targets in advance of the main body, etc... |

Yes, but [b]Dave_A[/b], you must understand that [b]Kar98[/b] referred to it as [i]'[u]Forever[/u] Blitkrieg'[/i], meaning, I would think , that the US will [u]never[/u] be finished with warfare in Iraq.
At least, that's what I think that he may have meant, but who knows? [:D] I suppose that we should then view our post-War occupations of Japan and Germany as continuing WWII in some respect, a sort of 'forever ass-whipping' of both of those nations. Eric The(And,Korea?)Hun[>]:)] |

/Forever/ was in reference to Joe Haldeman's novel "Forever War". Even the war in /that/ novel ended eventually, but until then everything was kind of a mess with unexpected turns and unintended consequences. And it was /meant/ to be an oxymoron, duh. First we roll all over them, and then, after "major" combat ended and victory has practically been declared, ... well you have a TV, too.

Kar:
Forever War, excellent novel eh? Read it many years ago... a disaffected Starship Troopers themed novel. Good stuff. Open Question : Has anyone ever read a post by rik that was not rife with condescension and vituperation? Let me know when you decide to get off your throne on Mt Olympus rik, you need a bananna peel under your sandal pretty badly. Dram out |

You haven't because 1)you've shown previously that you have no love for me and 2)you aren't paying attention. Let me know when you decide to get off your throne on Mt Olympus rik, you need a bananna peel under your sandal pretty badly. Better (MUCH better) men than you have tried to place one there, with no success. Don't exaggerate though, Dram...I don't think I am smarter than EVERYONE else. Just a select few.

Your response to the original post was an inane non-sequitur. It had nothing to do with the Russian news article and everything to do with your cockeyed politics. |

Your response to the original post was an inane non-sequitur. That's your opinion. However, the post you quoted above was the dictionary definition of /non sequitur/ and an example for application, for the edification of gus and 1GR ;) I don't have any "politics": the last time I went to any kind of elections I voted for Herrn Mickey v. Maus for Reichskanzler. |

I think a large part of Libyas agreement to disarm has to do with Iraq. I think Quaddafi is much brighter then Saddam. Now he gets to keep all his money and power and is actually looked upon as a leader. Most likely one his own will knock him off.

Rik,
You are correct, I have no love for you. It is your abrasive attitude that absolutely sets my hackles leaping. I try to avoid your posts, if at all possible, as you are patently elitist and exasperating to a degree. Not only have I seen this behavior by you here on Arfcom, but a few other websites I have perused over time. Better (MUCH better) men than you have tried to place one there, with no success. Don't exaggerate though, Dram...I don't think I am smarter than EVERYONE else. Just a select few. And boy, does it bug that select few... In re the above, my intent was to suggest you need to come down several pegs and act like a human being, not the voice of a God in which you do not believe. You have no idea who I am, nor any criteria upon which to base an assessment of my personal quality either. If your abrasive internet style is any indication of who you are in your real life, your list of friends would be as short as that of recent French military victories. Now that I have typed this, I wonder why I have wasted time doing so. Communication with you is an utter and complete waste of time and energy. Ah well, I will remember it better next time I am tempted to score you off. In your case, silence is indeed golden. Dram out |

Quoted: Rik, You are correct, I have no love for you. It is your abrasive attitude that absolutely sets my hackles leaping. I try to avoid your posts So you admit you don't read my posts and thus your comment about "Has anyone ever read a post by rik that was not rife with condescension and vituperation?" was disingenuous as you DON'T READ MY POSTS? as you are patently elitist If by elitist you mean that I want the world run by a few elites, no I am not elitist. If you mean by "elitist" that I will take the words of experts who have studied long and hard in their field over that of faceless blowhards on the internet, then HELL YEAH I am an elitist. In re the above, my intent was to suggest you need to come down several pegs and act like a human being, not the voice of a God in which you do not believe. You have no idea who I am, nor any criteria upon which to base an assessment of my personal quality either. If your abrasive internet style is any indication of who you are in your real life, your list of friends would be as short as that of recent French military victories. I am just like this in real life, except bigger. Thanks for worrying about my "list of friends," but that's more projection (and wishful thinking) from you than anything else. The funny part is, I KNOW there are people MUCH smarter than I. I respect their opinions. I defer to their knowledge. You just don't happen to be one of them. Now that I have typed this, I wonder why I have wasted time doing so. God knows you've wasted everyone's time, including mine. If silence is golden, please stay golden. I don't respect or value your opinion and thus have no wish to hear from you whatsoever. |
