Peace in Name Only
Without a hint of irony, after taking his part in the passage of a bill that orders the President to withdraw our troops from Iraq, Barack Obama brazenly claimed that we are "one signature away" from ending the war in Iraq. Veterans need to politely inform this nincompoop that wars are not won on paper, and the conflict in Iraq -- you know, the one Congress authorized -- is only one part of a global struggle against Islamofascists who will decidedly NOT go away just because the Commander-in-Chief did or did not sign a worthless piece of paper.
To be sure, the terrorists we are fighting want President Bush to sign it. They want anyone in that office who will force our troops to do the unthinkable -- retreat in the face of the enemy, and they know a Democrat is more likely to do that than a Republican. Nothing would make them happier, except for, perhaps, a bill forcing the President and the rest of the U.S. to convert to Islam. But whatever you do, don't suggest that the terrorists want Democrats to win. That would be like questioning their patriotism.
I don't know, but is that any worse than questioning the President's integrity? Because the Democrats do that all the time, even though they were in full agreement having access to the same intelligence when their judgment and patriotism were set against the backdrop of 3,000 dead bodies and the bravery of men and women who had the courage to stand up and fight back without being told.
To justify their claim of Bush's dishonesty, Democrats also must conveniently forget the numerous resolutions Saddam Hussein violated, the terrorists he openly supported, the chemical weapons he never accounted for, and the fact that WMDs have actually been found in Iraq. We didn't find the stockpiles he used to have but never demonstrated that he destroyed them as he promised. Everything else was 100% true. Conclusion? Bush lied. Iraq is a failure.
While there are many Democrats out there who, solely on the basis of their gullibility and stupidity, still have their integrity intact, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, John Edwards and every Democratic candidate for President are cowards, liars, and political opportunists who are willing to sacrifice American troops and America's security because they think it will help them gain power.
Don't take that the wrong way. I'm not questioning their patriotism. I'm saying plainly, they are not patriots.
They're fools, charlatans, and quite possibly the most dangerous people in America. If we do not succeed in Iraq... if we withdraw before we finish the job... the collapse of our nation cannot be far behind. Armed with the knowledge that we are, as Osama bin Laden predicted after Clinton withdrew us from Somalia, a paper tiger, we'll have no means to stop the committed fanatics from bringing their version of jihad to this country.
If we elect Democrats in the next election, we will deserve exactly what we get. I will be, for the first time in my life, ashamed to be associated with my countrymen.
