Let's rid our minds of the likes of Tom Daschle and consider the words of a patriot. Lt. General James T. Conway, commander of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force, is in charge of a joint force of about 85,000 Marines and British troops in Kuwait. Earlier today, General Conway gave a rousing pep speech to his troops. Here are excerpts from a
Washington Post report:
Conway talked tough for his young Marines, many of them teenagers facing combat for the first time. He noted that the Marines have "the reputation of being the baddest sons of bitches in the valley. I gotta tell you, when Abdul in the 51st Mechanized Division north of the border heard that he was taking on the 1st Marine Division followed by the 1st UK Division, he said something like, 'Ana felaka beluchi,' which is Arabic for, 'Ain't that a bitch!' "
Conway told his troops not to worry about peace protests at home, pointing to a poll showing that 71 percent of Americans want to get the Iraq situation resolved now. "When we invade Iraq," he added, "that'll go up to 91 percent. And you know how I feel about it? Piss on everybody else."
After detailing the overwhelming force his troops will unleash on Saddam, General Conway concluded, "It's not a fair fight. We didn't intend for it to be."
