Frank J. of IMAO still hasn't gotten around to delinking this site. This may be due to the fact that he's taken on another, more important project: teaching the world about America's enemies. Yesterday, he shared his special knowledge of Iraq's "Republican Guard" (who aren't and won't). Excerpts:
* The Republican Guard were a replacement for the less successful Iraqi Democrat Guard, who would try to whine and tax their enemies into submission. Eventually Saddam became too annoyed with them and had them executed.
and
* The Republican Guard is supported by tanks and other hardware that, according to U.S. military experts, are fun to blow up.
and
* In the first Gulf War, most experts identify the main military blunder of the Republican Guard in their fight with the U.S. military as being that they we[]re fighting the U.S. military. It's yet to be seen if they have learned from that mistake.
As I often say, reading is learning.
