The war in Iraq, that is. Ole Chuckie, bravely typing away (or hunt-and-pecking away, as the case may be), says them Iraqi guerillas are nothin' but Animals 09/27/04.
Chuckie declares that the following as the Patriotically Correct line of the day:
I have said it before and I will emphatically say it again, the war in Iraq is the war on terrorism. Just who are we fighting over there?
The answer is that we’re fighting a bunch of depraved animals who have not the least conscience attack when hacking off the head of an innocent man in front of his family and anybody else in the world who has a computer.
Chuckie says the insurgents in Iraq are baby rapers. Or the ones in Russia, what's the difference? Iraqis, A-rabs, Russians, Chechnyans, there all a bunch of foreign animals and perverts and liberals, as seen from ChuckieWorld. (We probably shouldn't tell Chuckie about the American torturers at Abu Ghuraib prison who were doing the Big Nasty with young Arab boys; he probably couldn't process that one too well.)
You don’t believe that? Then why is it that the one who controls the guns in all the Middle East controls the population? We know about Saddam Hussein and the Mullahs in Iran but what about the feudal system, which still operates in Afghanistan and parts of Pakistan. It’s all about power to these people and power is all they respect.
Well I say it’s time we took the gloves off in Iraq and Afghanistan. No more amnesties, no more stopping the battle under false pretenses, which only gives the enemy time to regroup and start shooting at our troops again.
I’m for doing whatever we have to do to protect our troops and put an end to the war in Iraq.
Shoot first and ask questions later.
Yay-uuh, Chuckie!! We need to kill, kill, KILL them A-rabs, don't we?
Steve Gilliard, by coincidence, is also writing today about some online zealot who's eager to have someone else escalate the killing, dying and torturing: Chickenhawk Squawks 09/29/04. What Gilliard says about the particular superpatriotic lover of war (for someone else) applies also to Chuckie's latest rant. Even without the expletivesdeleted:
Only cowards talk about killing so easily. If real, hard core Iraqi guerillas came to his house to kill him, he'd have their [expletive deleted] in his mouth so fast it would put a [promiscuous person] to shame. He would do anything to live. Because his words are cheap. In Iraq, people shoot back and they kill Americans. This PS2 fantasy of his doesn't bear any resemblence to reality. Real soldiers are growing sick of the war because the Iraqis are not video game sprites, but real people who can shoot. And the "good guys" do not always win. In at least 1,050 families, they did not get the better of the enemy or Iraq.
I just hope this man has the common sense not to say this [expletive deleted] to some kid back from Iraq, who watched his friends die in combat, because he may just beat him silly.
Telling this pathetic keyboard commando that his words are the kinds of thing the Iraqi guerillas use to psyche up their troops would be beyond him. Any time you can tell someone that the enemy wants to wipe them from the face of the earth, they have a weapon. So while he plans for his version of the fourth reich, some Iraqi surfing the internet will see this, translate it, print it out and say that's how most Americans think.
Actually, Gilliard gets a bit carried away in the last sentence. If you're making war propaganda, you can always find something from the Other Side to make your point about how depraved they are. And if you can't find it, you just make it up.
But his basic point is dead on. Promoting mindless jingoism, even in an unquestionably good cause, is always an irresponsible thing to do. Chuckie likes to posture as the tough, down-to-earth, good ole boy Southern redneck. Even if he goes out every week and has a fist fight with Billy Bob - it's a very safe bet that he doesn't - sitting around and spewing rhetoric about killin' and torturin' the bad guys is just blowhard nonsense.
