He’s back
We welcome Major Jon Soltz back from his tour of Iraq, but it’s especially nice that he’s still the political hack he was before he left. He says that Lynn Chaney is spitting on the troops…what would you call all of that shit he did after his first three month tour of Iraq?
I remember at the Yearly Kos in 2007, Soltz tried to “lock up” a young sergeant who had just returned from Iraq and tried to discredit the things Soltz and Wesley Clarke were saying against the Bush Administration’s handling of the war. Soltz acted like mealy-mouthed newbie 2LT screaming and demanding to know the young Iraq veterans’ name. That’s not spitting on that soldier’s service? Especially since the young sergeant had been in Iraq since Soltz had finished his three month tour there.
Just the other day, dicksmith called Iraq “Nearly nine years of pointless war….” That’s not spitting on the troops and what they accomplished there?

How the hell could that pinhead make major? They must be desperate for field grade officers in the NG.
What’s an EdShow?
Wow, I still think my Iraq deployment (one YEAR) was pretty cool. We got guns, ammo, got to go 4 wheeling, had free food, lots of good people to work with…(well, a few were assholes)…but overall it was prety cool.
So much wrong here with this dumpass.
First we never needed a formal request from the Iraq Parliament to negotiate for a longer term troop presence. A piece of legislation was not required, something the Iraqi executive(PM Maliki, Sunni parties, US miltary, & Kurdish president) constantly told us. Maliki and the legislature are deadlocked on who should be appointed to head MoD or MoI, a much smaller problem. There was no realistic way a request like that could be steered through that body. It was the insistence of the Obama administartion, that way or no way, that killed this. SOFA was always implied to be superceded by something else, not an end in itself.
Iraq’s security forces are really only imperfectly ready to deal with internal threats. Their Army is not equipped or trained to at least contest a foreign Invader. It has no airforce to control its own airspace. How are they ready?
The administarion put this on autopilot a long time ago. When the Iraqis started to believe that the US might abandoned them, is when the outright exodus for foreign patronage started. That all happened under Obama not Bush.
Heck, I forgot I’m talking about such a leader of men as Jon Soltz. The man who vocally opposed the implementation of the Surge and then denied it had worked for a year or two after. Maybe if VoteVets spend more time on advocating strategy and less on repealing “Don’t ask, Don’t tell”, they might have something useful to contribute to the conversation.
Jon piece of advice, let Wesley Clark give the big speeches, at least his credibilty is slightly better then yours.
Well….welcome home, *Major* Soltz! Now….sit the phuck down and shut your socialist pie hole. *twit*
