This is silly. Go here: http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/meast/03/27/sprj.irq.war.main/index.html Scroll down to the RELATED box. Click Interactive: Animation - Iraq battle scenarios after you see this animation, click "NEXT" to see the next one.

BREAKING NEWS!!! The AP (Associated Press) is reporting that the Moroccan "Monkey Battalion" has just been deployed to the region and are within 50 miles of Baghdad. A correspondent accompanying the battalion has reported heavy fighting and that the feared Republican Guard has moved south to meet this opposition. Stay tuned for more details......... </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">A number of people in various european countries just dont like Americans (or who they think americans are) or what they would regard as their wasteful uneuropean way of life, their loud voices or obnoxious minds. Americans for their part know little of europe and it appears want to know even less. <span id='postcolor'> Well, most of us Americans are of European descent. I have Celtic heritage as well as Irish and English. In fact, I am eligible to join the Order of the Crown of Charlemagne. We are not arrogant but decisive. People resent us for our decisiveness. Bush made a threat and then backed it up. Good for him. The UN three-ring circus diplomatic farce was going nowhere so we decided to act as allowed under SEC RES 1441 where there is a provision for "serious consequences" against Iraq for failing to comply. Certainly the phrase "serious consequences" is an umbrella under which war can fit. So one can argue our actions are legal at least from the UN standpoint.

Tovarish: Did not mean to offend you. Sammy Sosa is a big baseball star up here. We like him. I found another country providing assistance to the US War Effort <snicker> called Morocco. We all know this is North Africa. They are sending their suicide monkeys to help with land mines. http://www.upi.com/view.cfm?StoryID=20030324-064259-1443r Folks, this is hilarious. It just does not get any better than this. I am going to follow this story carefully to make sure it’s not a prank. IsthatyouJohnWayne: thanks, it's only fair since you have also made crass remarks about Bush, US...etc

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">and the natural course of action is to censor it <span id='postcolor'> WWCD (t-shirt and coffee mug slogan for What Would Castro Do) The lil' narrative was an irreverent satirical analogy highlighting the similarities between the Spanish American War (1898) and the current war. That's all it was so don't read too much into it. thanks

of course the truth hurts, and the natural course of action is to censor it. Listen up folks, there is a pattern here. Note the countries that do not support our just war with Iraq, and may I direct your attention to the reasons why: Russia (selling GPS and satellite jamming technology to Iraq, Putin says he will look into the matter) France ("the Worm" Chirac's  lucrative oil and other business deals with Iraq...etc) Germany (lucrative pharmaceutical and chemical business deals) And let's not forget N Korea. Don't know about any confirmed deals other than the missile exports to the middle east. Actually, I have not heard a peep out of that pimp-squeak Kim Jong II since we started the war. He piped down real quick when the bombs started falling. He needs to pay close attention and learn a lesson.

The UN can go to hell! Our strategy is to not die for our country but to make the other son-of-abitch die for his. The Palestinians should not be given a state. They are a bunch of whiney people--equivalent to the NAACP (National Association for the Always Complaining People) over here. In history, those who achieve independence, fight for it and win. In this case, the Palestinians' strategy is to moan and groan to the international community so that they will make Israel give the Palestinians a state. What? When in history has a country been made to give up its land without war? It is the Palestinians who are the ones "occupying." They are on Israeli land which was won fair and square in the 1967 war. Want me to tell you how to secure peace in the Middle East? Answer: For the US to let Israel go unrestrained and destroy the Palestinian militants. This whole thing is ridiculous. </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">I think I just did, I took a huge chunk out of your ignorant statement.

It is just below 4,000 at the present. At least Bush backed up his threat. It won't be long before Sodomize Hussein goes up the spout if he is not already dead from the first attack.

The UN is worthless and ineffective. It is nothing more than a bureaucratic, red-taped, discussion "round table" and a pseudo-political "symposium." They get "together" and pretend to solve the world's "problems." In reality, they do nothing. Why do some countries have clout (veto power) and others do not? Makes no sense folks. They behave like it is a city council meeting.

there ain't nothing we Confederate Southerners like more, ice tea and an ordinance of secession!

I am back rippin' roarin' and ready to rock n' roll. Grab yourself a beverage, a chair and sit down cause I'm a lettin' the shite hit the fan. This is, to use John Milton Hay's own words, a "splendid little war." Bush is like da Theodore Roosevelt tryin' to liberate Cuba from da evil Spainish. Did za I spell that wrong? yep that's a good reason cause' old Cuba was never annexed into the US. Say isn't there a Soviet general a named Cuba in OPF? Can't seem to find the old bloke in my mission editor but Iza knows hees ther. and looky at what happend in Cuba? They got their independence. Say, do they hav piranhas (dem fish with da big teeth dat can eat whole horse) down there? Well, let me tell ya, sometime after dat, we have this grizzly adams feller named Castro to cum and set up shop there. He wears da olive green uniform dat looks like somethin a pest control contractor would wear. Maybe cAstro does spray for termites down there but he mostly plays on his computer. he aint got your typical computer. Nope, old Castro who is as old as old as Methuselah has a computer with 4 keys: command, control, delete, and execute. Yep, what we need ta do is learn a lessin from the 1898 war. We need to annex Iraq so dat we don't hav another despot cum to powr like what happened in Cuber. nuff said

I have skimmed this thread. Where are the desert addons? Any out there. The desert MOD sites I found (Gulf War 2 and Operation Desert Storm) do not have any downloadable units and armor yet.

Have a nice weekend folks. Sirens are going off so I need to head to the bunker now. Just heard the B-52s are on the way with their payload.

RalphWiggum: let the bloke speak for Pete's sake. This bloke[sic] did not read my post carefully as I specifically said "massive civilian casualties." Furthermore, UK is "on board" so my post was not directed at them. I pulled out my western civilization history book and I can't find an instance where almost 3,000 UK civilians were killed in one single attack in recent years. The Battle of Britain (1940?) is the only thing that comes close. </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">Memories stay long in peoples minds and are passed down through generations, dpn't forget that<span id='postcolor'> Yep, us Confederate Southerners still hold a grudge at the 1861-1865 war. Weez still upset that we lost. FYI, the attacks listed on the ship were carried out by terrorists.
