Iraq War
I am sick of hearing and seeing all these political figures bash the war and bash the President. Just to put this out there, so far this war in Iraq is the most well run war in all of American history. So far this war has the least casualties and constant success on the battlefront. We haven’t lost a battle yet! People wake up! We are fighting terrorists. Hence the name, they fight with terror. They can’t stand up to us; they hide in the shadows behind innocent civilians and blow things up. Their only hope is to demoralize our country and our troops before we annihilate them! And you know what? Their most potent weapon is in America! That’s right, its right here, and nobody seems to want it take care of it. Terrorists number one go-to man, the Media. They help the Radical Islamist’s more than anything else. They harp on American deaths, the bombs, the civilian casualties, and show Terrorist video. Hey media, wake up, its war! People die, there are civilian casualties, and it takes time. That might sound really insensitive and inhumane, but its fact. Don’t get me wrong, I am the first person to honor and support our brave soldiers. But death is regretfully apart of war; they are doing their job, which is protecting the griping politicians here in America. Not to say that you can’t cover stories about death and bombs and such, but why only that? Why don’t we see stories about all the victories and about the success? About how we are pounding the terrorists into the ground and they are running out of places to hide? I will tell you why, because the media obviously wants us to fail in Iraq. Whether you agree or disagree with the war, Republican or Democrat, none of that matters. Get over it. We are there and we must win, if we don’t we will have more 9-11’s and we will be fighting them here. That might work out for some people though, because then we wouldn’t have to leave our country to fight them before they get to our people. Because you know that is such a pain. If we were fighting them on our own soil, the politicians would be saying we need to kill them and win. It frustrates me to no end. Pulling out would be devastating to that region. Not only would Iraq go right back where it is, but also many other countries, who are holding on to a hope that they can win against these radical Islamist. Then it will be 20 times harder to take them out because they will have so many countries to hide in. Not just Pakistan, Iran and Syria, but Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Afghanistan, and others. In conclusion, I say tell the politicians and the media to shut up and let the generals and men in the military with actual spine take care the decision making in the war.

Why dont they interview men who have come back from overseas or the people of Iraq? I have so many friends who have come back from over there, and tell me stories about how the people came up to them and thanked them for being there and begged them not to leave. Why dont we ever hear about any of that? Why do most, I say most because everyone I know has said this, that they want to go back because they felt what they were doing was right? How come when 9/11 happen, everyone was for war, and now they "take it back" and are completely against it? How come Bill Clinton is held on such a high standard when he could have prevented this from even being a topic (he pardoned Osma Bin Laden)?
Sorry...going to ASU has left all of this built up..it felt good to release it..thanks wes.
haha, I am glad you could get it all out Sarah. Yeah I never liked Clinton, and yes he could have caught Bin Laden if he wanted to. They knew his location, but he didn't think him a big enough threat. You know he was just the leader of the biggest terrorist group in the world, no biggie. Clinton was just afraid of conflict, of messing up his presidency. He was afraid of exactly what is happening now, but Bush is getting all the flack for it.
Ah, youthful political optimism and idealism.
I'll be interested to know your thoughts on the matter in 5 years. Will they change as you mature? Or not? Does it matter?
And just for the record, I'm not a democrat.
or a republican.
Just found your blog interesting, although I don't care to delve into my own views on the matter, I liked reading yours.
:)
Yes, who knows whether my ideals will change as I grow older or perhaps I will just tire of fighting for what I think is right. When five years comes around remind me and I will be happy to indulge you, hehe...
To tell you the truth I would rather we didn't have "political parties" I don't like being labeled into a certain group, because whether you agree with everything that group stands for or not, people will judge you to be the "typical" person of that group.
And if you ever get tired of reading my opinions, Tammi, please feel free to go-a delving.
