11:02 AM - MORE ON THE SITUATION IN IRAQ
Current mood:  contemplative
Category: News and Politics
I think the insanity of certain members of congress can be illustrated by the two stories below. On the one hand, we have sesible military people who have been there and dealt personaly with the Iraqi people, and are speaking from first hand experience. On the other hand, we have Democratic leaders who are obsessed with "loosing the war so we can win the election". They are so consumed by their hatred for the Administration, and Republicans, that the seem to have lost touch with reality.
The propaganda value of their words and actions to the enemy is so great, that I feel it is bordering on treason, if not outright giving aid and comfort to the enemy. Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid's comments about the war being lost, and there being no point in the troop surge completely undermined all the efforts made to reassure Iraqi security and military people that we were not going to just abandon them. No doubt his remarks had the polar opposite effect on our enemies. But, "We have to loose the war so Democrats can win in '08!"
The anti-war movement has got to realise that we cannot just pack up and leave and allow Iraq to become another Al-Quieda stronghold like Afghanistan was. If we did just pull out, we would loose every last bit of our credibility around the world. We would no longer have the place in the world we hold now. And....what other country is strong enough and willing to confront the Islamo-faciests who are trying to dominate the world?
The Iraqi people and govornment have got to get a grip and stop all the sectarian fighting. No number of troops from any nation can do what they have to do for themselves. They could start by rejecting this idiotic hatred towards each other, Americans, and Jews. They also need to remember who got rid of Saddam and his regime. But, they can't stand for these "infedel occupiers" to desecrate their sacred Islamic land.
The pro-war people must also understand that the American people are growing weary of this war, and that it is not unpatriotic to question and disagree.......IN A RESPONSIBLE WAY.....not like the Democratic members of Congress and presidential candidates are doing. They must also realise that they cannot run the table anymore. A compromise must be reached, and soon to fund the war effort.
