I Did Not Know That: Toby Keith Opposes The Iraq Debacle

Do you know this?

Keith doesn’t support the Iraq war — “Never did,” he says — and he favors setting a time limit on the occupation. He says he suspects civil war in Iraq is inevitable and predicts the Kurds will be the victors: “I promise you, they’ll end up with it all.”

I did not. Neither did Michael Ledeen:

It’s great to get out of the Washington culture of narcissism and spend some time with the rednecks, a.k.a. real Americans. And it’s simply great, as the encores end, and a downpour of red, white and blue confetti covers the crowd, to see Toby say “don’t ever apologize for your patriotism,” and then lift the middle finger of his right hand to the skies and say, “F*** ‘Em!”

Which, after a week of disgusting anti-Americanism in Washington [there was a big anti-war protest, and I guess, uhm, Congress performed its duties], nicely summed up our feelings.

Live and learn.

  1. yeah, and im a real pirate…sheesh
    or, maybe…
    yeah, and budweiser IS king of beers!!!

  2. is a flip flopper extraordinaire.

    Rips the Dixie Chicks, but he’s all for free speech.

    ‘Hates the war’, but his fans don’t so he has to pander.

    I think it’s funny he thinks the Kurds are going to somehow overcome all the various militia groups and guerillas to take control of the whole country.

    I’m coming to believe he is just a silly person.

  3. Your pirate name is Marconio the Ripper of Shirts

    Arrrrrrr

  4. can kiss my puckered bum.

    it’s easier to sheepishly take a step off the bandwagon now that public opinion holds this whole debacle in increasing disfavor.

    it’s a lot harder both to be correct in predicting the ensured clusterfuckitude at the outset (see, that would require an awareness of the complexities, and the capacity for thinking needed to draw inferences); and way WAY harder to be vocal about it at the outset, only to suffer the cromagnon hectoring of the likes of toby keith for stepping forward in candor.

  5. It’s becoming fashionable to be against the Iraq war. Somebody ask him how he feels about Iran…

    “Who are these Swine? These flag-sucking half-wits who get fleeced and fooled by stupid little rich kids like George Bush? ….. They speak for all that is cruel and stupid and vicious in the American character…. I piss down the throats of these Nazis. And I am too old to worry about whether they like it or not. Fuck Them.”

    hat tip OPOL
