Ten years. That’s how long they’re saying we’re gonna have to keep troops on the ground in Iraq. Ten years? No body wants to stay there for even ten more days, let alone ten more years!
Although most thinking people now agree that we did the right thing going in there and getting rid of Sadam, they’re getting fed up with hearing every single day that more of our boys have died over there. That’s the reason why war tends to be so dog gone unpopular …. because in war, people tend to get killed.
So why can’t our government do what every major corporation within its borders is doing?? --- Outsource. That’s right, outsource.
There is president for this. The British hired the Hessians to fight for them in the Revolutionary War. The Brits didn’t want to put up with the freezing cold winters and scorching hot summers in New England. So they outsourced … they paid the Hessians to fight for them.
Ok, so that didn’t work out so good. The Hessians were a poor choice. Even though they had cool looking uniforms, when things got tough, they either turned tail and ran or simply gave up. We aren’t going to hire Hessians …. Can’t find any today anyway.
And forget about their kin, the Germans. The way they botched World War II? Forget about it!
What about the Chinese? They got literally BILLIONS of people that they don’t know what to do with. They can’t even feed ‘em all. Let’s hire them, give ‘em a little training and turn ‘em loose on Iraq.
They’ll work for pennies compared to what we pay our soldiers now. And they’ll work without the GI Bill, VA benefits, insurance for life and all that other stuff that we can’t afford but promise anyway.
Of course, we’d pay ‘em in US dollars. (No one really cares about how much money war costs … we can always print more.) The only place my friend, that you can spend US dollars, is in the U S of A. Think what this would do for U.S. manufacturers!
Instead of us importing from China, this idea would turn the tables so we could sell THEM shoddy stuff that ain’t no good and falls apart the first time you use it! And put the assembly instructions in French!
The best part is, if anything goes wrong, like at Abu Grabi prison, we blame it all on them and call in Donald Trump to yell, “You’re fired.”.
Ok, I acknowledge the problem that most Chinese are uneducated peasant farmers who might be all right doing grunt work, but we need some brains over there too.
One word … India. They are forever telling us how they have so many highly educated people over there who will work for a few cents an hour. Put them to work designing bridges, power plants and stuff. We could even put them in charge of Intelligence operations. Wouldn’t have to worry about them giving away any of our secrets, ‘cause no body can understand a word them people say anyway.
But you’ve still got the cost of weapons, right? Again, get a clue Bush baby. Before my fifth grade Cub Scout camping trip, my father took me to Harry’s Army Surplus where we got everything I needed for next to nothing. If my old man was smart enough to figure this out, why can’t the U S government?
They’ve got tons of weapons in Russia left over from the Cold war. We’re planning on spending millions to “dispose” of the stuff. Why not “dispose” of it in Iraq? Drop a few nukes around them caves over there and “boom” the terrorists are yesterday’s news. You don’t even have to worry about “collateral damage” ‘cause no body lives there except for chicken terrorists who are hiding out. Well, them and a few camels and maybe some desert rats. But they’re Iraqi camels and desert rats, so not even PITA will care about what happens them. With the money we save, we can afford to pay them foreigners for doing our dirty work for us.
We can win this war, with no further loss of American life, and without spending our children’s inheritances. If they would just listen to me. Who’s got Robert Gate’s phone
number?
