NYT: Iraq War Turns Troops Into Murderers | Sweetness & Light
http://sweetness-light.com/arc.....-murderers

Don’t believe everything you read in the New York Times.

Kipling knew all about
Afghanistan and we would do well to listen to him:

If you’re wounded and left on Afghanistan’s plains
And the women come out to cut up what remains
Just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains
And go to your God like a soldier.

Now how would you like that? No worries about a flag-covered coffin then.

When it comes to Democrats, they make cover-ups in the form of statements.

This is why I have NO FAITH in the intelligence of the American people.

That said … military ops in Iraq, in my opinion, did not do what had to be done. I wasn’t there, I didn’t get sand in my face, or shrapnel in my back, but I still get a vote in this because I am a citizen.

The problem is not the Ba’athist Party in Iraq and Syria. The problem is not Taliban and al Queda operations in Afghanistan. The problem is Islam. The problem in Germany was not Germany, but the religion that was Nazi. If a man won’t keep the rats from running out of his barn into my fields, he has no say when I burn down his barn. The citizens of Germany had every opportunity to burn down Hitler and the vast network of corporate and business interests which stood to gain from a militarized Germany led by Hitler. THAT’s what the citizens had a chance to burn to the ground, but they did not. They chose to wait and see what would happen. What happened is the Thing that grew amongst them like a cancer on steroids was finally confronted by the violent armed response of the Allies. ‘Innocents’ were slaughtered right along with those responsible. Tough. If you can’t keep your own house clean, you have to accept what happens afterwards.

The same with how we conducted ourselves in Iraq. All nicey-nice. Afraid of the MSM. Afraid of lawyers and legislators. Afraid. Afraid. Afraid. America is the very definition of being afraid. We’re afraid of our own shadow. We’re so afraid that the our political enemies have executed a stupendous psy-op on us … there is No Big Brother Watching You …. YOU Watch Yourself, fearful of the cost of political correctness! Good Lord! Always afraid of the weak, the shadowy and the back biters. We’re a nation of bed wetting silly weak sisters with mind boggling fire power, the best warriors in the world and bunch of whipped wet noodle cry babies holding the reins to What Can Solve The Problem, Right Now.

At least William Ayers had the stones to actually do something. The man is despicable to fifty decimal points but he exhibited more balls than any of the commanders commanding our commanders in the field. We can solve Islam by twelve noon tomorrow … but no one in Washington has the spherical brass to do it. This ain’t rocket science. We can save Israel, rid the world of Islam and go back to peace and plenty in less than 24 hours.

But no.

So … given the state of Gelding-hood that is modern America, I cannot see anything but more and more limp noodle response to very real problems. And we did not get the job done over there. We got a third of the job done. That’s like building a third of a dam …. the water will rise and the dam will erode and it will be as if we never built a dam to begin with. In this the AFP is regrettably correct, the price was not even close to what was ‘accomplished’ …. and I salute every mother-loving hard assed bullet-biting, flea infested, wrench turning, camp cook, doctor, nurse, pilot, driver, escort, armorer, supply sergeant, rookie, veteran, and sun burned member of our God Blessed military whatever your branch of service for doing an impossible job with both hands and a foot tied behind your arse. Look at you … hobbled like livestock and STILL the best there is. Almost no way to carry out vastly contradictory orders and still you rid the world of terrorists and ragheads left right and center by the hundreds. No one can touch you. You … are … the …. best. You are of fable and legend and if I have to pay taxes, I’m damned glad my taxes go to you.

But we did not do the job. Not even a third of it.

Because Islam is stronger than ever.

Idiot Politicians.

“We’ve been here so long,” he went on. He is 14 months into his second tour of duty in Iraq.
“We’ve come so far,” he said. “No one wants to cut and run.”
The sharp drop in violence in Iraq has made serving here less dangerous, if not yet safe. Three American soldiers and an Iraqi interpreter were killed in Diyala on Monday.
In interviews this week, many soldiers and officers expressed relief that violence was down; some spoke of boredom. Few had confidence that Iraq’s government and security forces were ready to stand on their own.
Others, like Capt. Craig A. Giancaterino, the commander of the 287th Military Police Company from Fort Riley, Kan., said they were concerned that a deadline for withdrawal was a horizon for the insurgency, too.
“It’s our own worst enemy,” he said. “You’re setting a target for the enemy to wait us out.”

These incredible people have made more sacrifices in a single tour than 99% of our population yet they’re treated in the press like the invisible man. It is really disgusting for these “journalists” not to simply ignore the heroism and incredible sacfrices of the military, but to take every opportunity to actively work against them. For example, Abu Ghraib prison and Guantanamo stories were pushed and pushed to an extreme that DID cause the deaths of Americans, but they didn’t care.

Every time I see one of these rags go under I rejoice.

Those who would violate and invade the sanctity .. the honor and memory .. of these American heroes .. likely aren’t terribly worthy of the fruit of these heroes’ sacrifices.

Showing the flagged draped coffins is what Obama wants and he wasted not a nanosecond getting WHAT he wanted – he is a master manipulator. He never stops playing us with his shucking and jiving.
