Want To Know What Pi**'s Me Off – Or What We Have Here Is A Failure To Lead

The following is in the diplomatic language of a very unhappy Sergeant Major. If you are easily offended please do not read any further. If you want to know what would piss a Sergeant Major off then read this.

The following is an excerpt from the Le Moyne College/Zogby Poll of American military personnel serving in Iraq.

The wide-ranging poll also shows that 58% of those serving in country say the U.S. mission in Iraq is clear in their minds, while 42% said it is either somewhat or very unclear to them, that they have no understanding of it at all, or are unsure. *While 85% said the U.S. mission is mainly “to retaliate for Saddam’s role in the 9-11 attacks*,” 77% said they also believe the main or a major reason for the war was “to stop Saddam from protecting al Qaeda in Iraq.”

“Ninety-three percent said that removing weapons of mass destruction is not a reason for U.S. troops being there,” said Pollster John Zogby, President and CEO of Zogby International. “Instead, that initial rationale went by the wayside and, in the minds of 68% of the troops, the real mission became to remove Saddam Hussein.” Just 24% said that “establishing a democracy that can be a model for the Arab World" was the main or a major reason for the war. Only small percentages see the mission there as securing oil supplies (11%) or to provide long-term bases for US troops in the region (6%).

Le Moyne College/Zogby Poll – Released February 28, 2006

One of the basic tenets of military leadership is to “know your mission.” What the results of this poll tells me is that not only is the Commander in Chief of the United States military derelict in his duty but he is obviously not a competent leader nor is he commanding his troops. This poll alone should tell you that George W. Bush doesn’t have a clue and is an incompetent buffoon. He can’t even communicate to his own troops their mission and purpose. Yes I’m pissed because it’s the soldiers of this great nation that he is screwing with. That’s right I said screwing with because if you can’t tell the men and women that are fighting and dying for their country the truth then, your a** ain’t worth the powder it would take to blow it away.

While 85% said the U.S. mission is mainly “to retaliate for Saddam’s role in the 9-11 attacks

What the f*** is that all about? What f***ing role in 9/11 would that be? Official Iraqi Cheerleader in Chief of al Qaeda. Something similar to George W. Bush’s role in relation to the United States military I trust.

2,296 killed in action and 16,653 wounded in action and you didn’t have the kahoonas to tell them what the hell the real mission was mr. president. Excuse me while I go puke!

Sorry about that rant but now you know what pisses the Sergeant Major off.

Those Are The Sergeant Majors Thoughts On That.
