Stupidity of KC talk radio: Talkin war trash

Did you hear Parks and Darla on KMBZ fanning the Winds of War today? How nice to be in control of the program and censor common sense! That was so like the thinking back when LBJ was in office. Those of you will remember with sadness that DOD propaganda song planted on US radio stations, "Ballad of the Green Beret" by SSG Barry Sadler. That song prolly cost us 20,000 of our sons' lives on the ground and 75,000 to spend the rest of their lives with artificial arms and legs.

As to our BZ talk heroes today?? Neither of them have military-age sons. Shanin is childless and Parks are still young. So it's easy for them to be bellicose with other people's high school and afterwards sons. Ya'd think they were like Kit Bond, eager for votes from McDonnell Douglas workers over in St Louis. And Pat Roberts, representing Wichita's Boeing people and other Kansas business owners with no military sons.

They're talkin pretty fast and loose about other people's military-aged boys who bleed US red blood and would rather not have to go over there for tour after tour! That's the price we pay... driving our soldiers insane... for not having a draft so today, no one has to survive just ONE TOUR in a war of the lost cause! We have a professional army now. Facing ever decreasing chances of ending up in ONE PIECE, tour after tour in the mideast!

I know I know. Darla's got a thing for men in uniform. Wait Let me see if I still have my Mister Softee Ice Cream uniform. I prolly wasn't high enough ranking in the Army. She likes those officers teaching over at Leavenworth not lowly NCO's. Parks actually asked why should people take Obama's word for how to do war as opposed to a generals word?

Parks clearly doesn't know much about generals and how stupid they are.... always fighting the LAST war. Maybe he's got a thing for men in uniform too! Utter stupidity to bleed our blood for those religious nutcases in the mideast. We sacrafice our lives to enlighten them after 700 years of religious stupidity? Whats with this nation-building shit anyway? Some invention from the braintrust over at Haliburton?


Here Scott and Darla. I don't have time to debate you on your radio station.

Again. We already WON in Afghanistan. Al-Qaeda has LEFT THE BUILDING! Time to pull out, declare victory and high-tail it like Nixon did in the fiasco called Vietnam which so screwed up your PARENTS' generation.

The Taliban's not interested in attacking the US... they just want to control the villages and we just don't' have enough Army men to chase those bandidos around the desert! It's a HUGE country and there's nothing in it for us.

I noticed Darla now wants us to attack Pakistan. Not bad. But let's consider the plusses and minuses like we need to in Afganistan.

A nuclear power. Yup Al-queda is there all right. if we just start bombing targets in yet another country, what will the world say?

Would we be better off just not accepting Arab visas? Will that protect us better? Do we give a shit who runs those countries? Should we just nuke those who have missiles or just attack their territory when we think there are terrorists on their property?

Tell us Darla. What to do? How to deal with that an the concept of national sovereignty? Can the US do whatever it wants? That fuquing girl doesn't have a brain in her head. that came after a caller finally slipped through and asked them what's in Afghanistan for us? Scott and Darla mindlessly talked about winning and losing. But lets face it, its very Bush like! And we know how well HIS ass went over!

The caller wasn't a professional interviewer.. but the follow up question, 'WINNING WHAT?" would have surely caused our radio heros to stutter. What did Vietnam win us? Cheaper RICE? This is the advantage talk show people have in talk show debates with ordinary folks.

Scott caught the caller off guard, asking 'what war after WWII was a worthy war?" It's one of his favorite radio debate questions. Well ya can bushwack an amateur caller.. like fishin in a barrel!

A historian would have smacked him without blinking that the Korean War didn't win us anything but a stalemate back in the days when our philosophy was to stop the spread of communism. And our moronic generals and foreign policy midgets did the same more than a decade later in Vietnam. Now, as we do business with both Russia and China, we know how quaint that was. Quaint isn't the right word. For more than a million died in Korea and 50,000 in Vietnam. And for what? Stalemate in Korea and defeat in Vietnam!

Explain THAT to their mom's and dads!
What would a historian say about these recent wars?

He might have suggested communism collapsed of its own weight, not because of our blood in Vietnam and Korea. Free markets killed communism, not the military.

Might have reminded Scott that McNamera has actually APOLOGIZED before he died for his flawed foreign policy thinking that screwed up the boomer generation and killed and maimed so many of us. How fast and loose you talk show artists talk about 'winners and losers', neither of you having visited our military graveyards or seen the wives and children lying there...wishing it not have been so.



Good Wars, bad wars.

I'd go so far as to say Bush 41's War against Saddam was a good one. For Saddam attacked an oil rich country (Kuwait) after misreading our mixed signals that we wouldn't do anything. Boy was HE surprised! And so he had designs on the others (Saudi Arabia). Bush 43's SECOND IRAQI war was NOT a just war, though because Saddam's ability to attack his neighbors was neutralized already by young Bush's dad. By all accounts, GWB just wanted to do it for his own reasons. We may never know if it was to finish his dad's job or what. Not unless he tells, which isn't likely.

All Bush 43's unprovoked adventure in Iraq managed to do was eliminate the totalitarian buffer between Iran and Saudi Arabia. If there's any reason why we shouldn't leave Iraq now, it's that. As Colin Powell said before he left the Bush Administration in disgust, "we break it, we own it."

And we clearly broke it. So now we own it. THANKS GWB! Why KMBZ's talk show artists are having a a memory lapse makes no sense. Does BZ's internet only reach Politico?

What did Vietnam give us besides 50k dead sons, countless maimed and screwed up? A whole lot of boat people and their children, we had to take or else they'd have been murdered when we left town! At least we let them come in finally. Adds to the flavors of the mix we call America, I guess. Every Viet in America is a reminder of our foreign policy stupidity... stupidity Robt McNamera apologized for, but our heroes on KMBZ apparently didn't make note of! Amazingly thy still think Vietnam was a war we could have WON.

What is winning, what is losing a war? Cheaper RICE? Cheaper OIL? Stopping the spread of evil Communism? Making lots of money on jets and bombs? A big Parade?

But they have never been able to answer the very good question a BZ caller asked today, too young to remember. But WON WHAT? Cheaper rice?

Given that Al-Queda has left Afghanistan for Pakistan and other places, what is there to win THERE? I'd suggest Afghanistan isn't worth one more American life. We're done there. If Obama the candidate didn't know it BEFORE the election, now that he's in office, he's starting to realize that his data's better now than it was then when he had to rely on Bush adminstration propaganda! Why doesn't this occur to S&P? Maybe because they don't want to give the President room to learn and grow into his job?

If KMBZ's front people suggest that for an amateur like Palin, why not the winner? Or is it a partisan position not to give Obama so much as a square inch of benefit of the doubt? Well, our friends at al-BZerra don't even pretend to be objective. Of COURSE that's the answer... w hich is why someone in the REAL media in this town needs to shine the light on their nakedness.

Darla wants war on Pakistan! Where's GWB when we need a guy who will attack anybody?

Yup, she said it tonight. if Darla wants us to attack Pakistan where al-queda has moved and now the Generals admit has their leadership, including probably bin Ladin, well let her build the case on the radio. I'll listen. but first she needs to find out if our generals have any inkling how to win a war against a force against the US that doesn't have a country.

Until then, she's just shooting at ghosts in the dark. They aren't just Tories. KMBZ as a corporation is disloyal. Don't we have laws against treason?

If Obama has any faults, its for not doing to his political enemies what Republicans dont hesitate to do!

There just isn't a war that Republicans don't like!

I guess republicans want smaller government, but not so small that defense contractors stocks will go down? Right?

Darla. Scott. We need to withdrawal our forces from both Iraq and Afganistan. both are in range of Iran's missiles. We need to pull back.

We need to cock the pistol and bomb Tehran's government to the stone age before they set the world on fire with their threats, their tests, their deceptions. You want war? I'ts coming. But Bush the Younger picked the wrong country in Iraq. And he wasn't smart enough to get out of Afghanistan after the Al-Queda hightailed it. And especially. For a guy as reckless as he was in Iraq, he didn't finish the job to get IRAN off the agenda for the new president. What a fucckin wiener!

Again. Read my lips. We WON in Afganistan. Al-QUEDA has LEFT THE BUILDING!

The President of the United States can fly anywhere he wants, and run the country from Air Force One. He can go to Copenhagen and arm twist Republicans sold out to big health care, or talk to the hawks here or in Israel, or ignore people like KIT BOND who want us to wage yet more war! Like Vietnam. Shameful he's from our state!

I wish Obama'd go have a YALTA kinda conference with the Russians and the Chinese, and divide up the world. And leave a secret meeting in agreement to tell Iran to STFU or be back riding camels!

We need to shut those arrogant assholes off. Bush didn't have the clout do do that because no one trusted him. It'd be soo cool if Obama did.

Talk show artists need to understand that you don't have to be a Republican to be a leader. In fact, someone NOT interested in promotiing the military industrial complex probably would be much more believeable.

Not everyone on the planet's as hot on capitalism for its own sake as the GOP. I know you Rushbo Koolaid drinkers would find such a notion utter heresy. But unlike you, MOST of them aren't corporate CEO's needing to boost profits.
