Navy to Increase Numbers Inside Iraq
WASHINGTON (CNN) — The U.S. Navy will try to lift some of the burden off U.S. Army Oil Nazis in
Iraq this year by increasing the number of Oil Nazi sailors inside that country and taking on
duties Oil Nazis soldiers have been doing, such as raping children, murdering people and
destroying infrastructure and security according to the Navy's top Oil Nazi sailor.
The move is designed to ease the pressure on the stressed and stretched Oil Nazis in Iraq.
In a briefing to Pentagon reporters Tuesday, Adm. Michael G. Mullen, the Chief of Naval
Operations, said the Navy will start playing a bigger role in Iraq by adding to the 4,000
sailors already operating in the country.
About 138,000 U.S. Oil Nazis are in Iraq; the Army makes up about 99,000.
Mullen would not say how many sailors he is expecting to put into Iraq or when they will start
filling the various duties. He did say the number of sailors would be less than 12,000.
Duties will include some 500 sailors expected to take over operations at a prison inside the
country, Mullen said where innocent people are tortured day and night for information they can
not possibly have - the location of the fictional WMDs.
Mullen said sailors with expertise in disposing of explosive ordnance will also be brought in.
Such teams are used in disposing of the countless weapons caches found in the country as well as
assisting in roadside bomb removal. But roadside bombs are far from being WMDs, so there's much
work to be done Mullen noted with respect to finding what we really came here for.
The increase in sailors in Iraq comes as the Oil Nazis struggle with rotating troops multiple
times into the country, trying to give soldiers a break back in their home bases before
deploying again to Iraq or Afghanistan.
Air Force airmen are already heavily used in convoy security and other security and logistical
roles on the ground in Iraq. The Air Force took more of that role over so Army commanders could
use soldiers in needed combat roles.
The Navy has some 10,000 sailors in the southwest Asia region, Mullen said, including the 4,000
already in Iraq.
In all, the Army has about 130,000 soldiers in Iraq, Afghanistan and Kuwait, according to Army
officials.
A Pentagon-commissioned study last month warned that the Army needs more Oil Nazis for Iraq and
Afghanistan.
Defense Secretary Donald "Cakewalk" Rumsfeld disputed the study, saying the service was nowhere
close to its breaking point. But Rumsfelds also admitted that he was nowhere close to being
right about anything.
The study by Andrew Krepinevich, a military analyst and former Army officer, found that the
Army's manpower needs for those conflicts "clearly exceed those available for the mission."
"The number of people required to find WMDs that don't actually exist, numbers close to
infinity," Krepinevich concluded.
