“Iraq is a done deal.”

I wholeheartedly agree. All thinking, feeling people owe our troops a huge debt of gratitude for their unimaginable bravery in bringing about this victory.

As for the damage Iranian EFPs do, everyone should check out Bill Ardolino’s slide show “In Pictures: From Rusafa to Sadr City” on The Long War Journal.

Go to Picture 12. Here’s the caption:

“A soldier wears ‘Gunner’s Pants’ while manning the turret of a Humvee. The garment is designed to hold all of the pieces of shredded legs in place after an individual is hit with an explosively formed penetrator roadside bomb. Maintaining the pieces in the pants gives surgeons a chance to repair and reattach the severed legs.”

Think about it: Our troops volunteer to go on missions for which they must wear special pants to keep the pieces of their legs in one general location so that doctors can try to fit them back together.

Have you ever heard of such courage in your life?

And who provides the EFPs that make these pants necessary? Why, the wonderful, peace-loving, honorable Persians! The people Obama wants to talk to without preconditions.

We should talk to them only after the precondition of bombing the living hell out of them. Destroy their offensive military capabilities first. I’ll gladly pay $6 a gallon for gas for a month, if it means we put an end to the mullahs’ reign of terror once and for all.
