AMERICAN BASE IN BAGHDAD GOES UP IN FLAMES!!!!!
Oct 11, 2006
!!!!!
I come home late from work tonite, sit down and turn on the TV, BBC News, and what do I see????? I see, live on TV and right before my eyes, A HUGE, HUGE HUGE FIRE IN BAGHDAD AT AN AMERICAN BASE -- WITH EXPLOSIONS GOING OFF RIGHT AND LEFT, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!! It is night in Baghdad and the cameras are way up high, so you see over rooftops and the huge fire is COVERING A THIRD OF THE HORIZON -- you wouldn't WANT to be close to it!!!  And, BOOM! explosions are going off one after another -- I SEE them, I don't hear them, they are too far away for the sound to be picked up I think. Over a mile away, I'd guess. Just this WALL OF FLAME.
Well, you probably have all heard or seen it on the news by now, -- even posted on it maybe. But, IT WAS SO EXCITING TO SEE IT HAPPENING LIVE JUST WHEN IT WAS FLAMING AND BURNING AND EXPLODING ON THE HORIZON IN BAGHDAD! AN AMERICAN BASE!!!! IN THE "GREEN ZONE" -- THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE "SECURE"!!!!!
It is like when the U.S. bombed Baghdad with what it called "Shock and Awe" before it invaded -- but, it is THE US SIDE THAT IS GETTING DESTROYED NOW WITH MASSIVE BLASTS. The correspondent of the BBC in Baghdad said that an AMMUNITION DUMP WAS APPARANTLY HIT. THAT BASE WILL BE TOTALLY FLATTENED BY MORNING.
The correspondent also said, that no-one appeared at this time to be hurt, and the soldiers were all evacuated. Well, that's good -- I would hate to be jumping up and down with excitement over casualties.
You see what this means. THERE IS NO PLACE SECURE FOR AMERICAN TROOPS IN BAGHDAD OR IN IRAQ. This happened in BAGHDAD, not somewhere out in the boonies. BOTH THE AMERICAN TROOPS, AND THE IRAQI POPULATION, GET THE MESSAGE, THAT THERE IS NOW NO "SAFE" AND "SECURE" PLACE AT ALL FOR U.S. TROOPS. [And their allies!]

JUST THINK OF ALL THAT EXPENSIVE EQUIPMENT AND AMMUNITION GOING UP IN SMOKE EVEN AS I TYPE THIS! And, at a cost to the U.S. of A BILLION DOLLARS A WEEK -- that is how much the war and occupation is costing us -- with Halliburton doing its War Profiteering AND NOT ACTUALLY SUPPLYING THE TROOPS WITH WHAT IS NEEDED, THERE WILL BE NOTHING TO REPLACE ALL THE EQUIPMENT, SUPPLIES, FOOD, AMMUNITION, ARMOR, ETC. THAT IS BEING DESTROYED.
THE TROOPS WILL HAVE NOWHERE TO GO!!! EVACUATE, TO WHERE???? THEY WILL HAVE NO EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES TO CARRY ON THE WAR -- AT LEAST, NOT IN BAGHDAD!!!
Is this the beginning of the end?????? It was NO DOUBT, SABOTAGE -- can't trust ANYONE these days!!!!!! An anti-war soldier, a laundryworker or cook or janitor from a third-world country -- THEY'LL NEVER FIND HIM {OR THEM!!!}.
OCCUPATION IN THE LONG TERM IS IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!!!! The locals LIVE there, they ain't going nowhere, they are DEFENDING THEIR TURF by ANY means necessary.

THIS IS THE TIME, WHEN THE SOLDIERS OVER THERE WILL BE ASKING, WHAT THE HELL ARE WE DOING HERE?

AND THIS IS THE TIME, WHEN WE CIVILIANS SHOULD BE TELLING OUR SOLDIERS TO COME HOME, WE WANT THEM HOME. IT IS UP TO THEM; BUT THEY MUST REFUSE TO FIGHT ANY MORE. [Without proper equipment, how can they anyway?]

Wow, wow and wow. I couldn't BELIEVE what I was seeing. AN ENTIRE AMERICAN BASE IN IRAQ, MANY MANY ACRES, TOTALLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES, WITH ONE EXPLOSION AFTER ANOTHER AFTER ANOTHER, GOING OFF AND OFF AND OFF. WHAT A SIGHT TO REMEMBER!!!!!!!
