OPERATION OVERLORD – 6th JUNE 1944 – Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword – Those that have memories to remember, let them do so
Remember the above names well – they are names of beaches along the Normandy coast where hundreds of thousands of especially USA, and French, Canadian, British, Australian, and other allied troops made the final sacrifice, and paid the unknown and immeasurable price for you to be where you are, say what you say, and do what you do today – Oh ye narrow-minded Arab Apes with your short-spanned attention and your memories like sieves, through which the waters of events and incidents seep through and drop down into the drains and gutters of ignorance, indifference, adamancy, asininity, and coarse and callous obtuse moronic naivety, and blind brain-washed hatred; and finally end up in the ocean of Amnesia.
I call your attention to the D-Day landings of the combined Allied forces; The US 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions; and French, Canadian, British and Australian troops on five beaches along the Normandy coast code-named Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword, and the invasion of Europe – Operation Overlord – on 6th June, 1944.
For the umpteenth and last time; the war in Iraq was no mistake.
George (not wise but no wimp) Bush is only doing what his father was supposed to do, or should have done, immediately after Operation Desert Storm. If anything, it was too little, too weak, and (almost) too late. The mistake was in NOT going in with enough troops and equipment to destroy Saddam's whole system and mechanism and to mop up any resistances, immediately after kicking him and his goons out of Kuwait.
The biggest mistake will be in the USA and Britain, and the coalition forces, tucking their tails between their legs and slinking off like jackals; leaving the Iraqis in the lurch, just as they left Lebanon in the lurch – under and at the mercy of the scorching Syrian and Iranian suns; instead of staying and finishing the job, AND, after all the sacrifices already made!
It seems to me that the rest of the world – the ARABS, especially – hate and bite and insult the HAND that helps and feeds them; and love and kiss and praise the FOOT that kicks and stomps them!
If The USA and her allies hadn’t intervened in World War II and paid the required price in troops and equipment – in blood, guts, lives, limbs, sweat, tears, and resources – all of Europe and the rest of the world, especially the Arabs, would be humming entirely different tunes and singing entirely different songs today – tunes and songs that would have made THE NEGRO SPIRITUALS AND ALL THE DIRGES ever written or composed and sung in every language or dialect at every funeral or solemn ceremony; past, present, and future; sound like the Rhumba, the Cha-Cha-Cha, the Samba, the Mambo, the Lambada, and the Hottest Arabic Belly-Dance anyone could imagine!
After World War II, the USA did not take over Germany and all her conquered territories or countries. She did not take over Japan, either – even after her sneaky and cowardly attack on Pearl Harbour – the Allies freed the conquered territories and countries, gave Germany back to Germany, and Japan back to Japan; after they had surrendered and signed a peace treaty and/or non-aggression agreement or pact!
At the time, The USA had the support of all the allied countries and the rest of the world, including all the Arab countries, and could have done whatever she wanted to do, and yet, she did only what she did; she gave everything back to their rightful owners, with no strings attached, except NO MORE WARS!
Also, if it hadn’t been for The USA and her allies and the coalition forces, Saddam would have annexed Kuwait, and gone on to take Saudi-Arabia and one or two other Arab states. Perhaps there is a Kuwaiti citizen among the readers out there who could, or might, tell us how Saddam’s army – goons – ran amok in Kuwait City and all over Kuwait – looting, robbing, and stealing anything and everything that could be lifted and carried off, and destroying or damaging anything and everything that couldn’t; and killing or beating up and/or raping everyone in sight!
I know not a few Kuwaitis who, if asked, would say: “GOD BLESS AND KEEP AMERICA!”
I cannot decide whether to be amused or amazed or whether to laugh or cry at the way some people – too many of them, if you ask me – behave like obtuse ostriches by burying their heads in the sands of not their inability to see or hear – they are definitely not blind or deaf – but their downright refusal and reluctance to see or hear or face facts!
AND! The facts are: no army could possibly liberate any country without first invading it ONE CANNOT LIBERATE A COUNTRY FROM ITS OPRESSORS AND SUPPRESSORS UNTIL AND UNLESS ONE INVADES THAT COUNTRY FIRST; IN ORDER TO ROOT AND DRIVE THEM OUT!
What did they expect – the obtuse ostriches – The USA and her allies and the coalition forces to do; line up at the borders to Kuwait or Iraq or Afghanistan and yell: “HEY; YOU IN THERE! WE’RE HERE, SEE? SO GET OUT OF THERE?”
HOW OBTUSE CAN SOME – TOO MANY – PEOPLE BE! BY GOD!
