A House Divided
Great words by Lincoln 147 years ago, but never more true than today. In the last few months the following has taken place:
U.S. Senators have compared our troops to Nazis and accused them of terrorizing Iraqi women and children.
The Chairman of the Democratic Party proclaimed the U.S. is losing the war.
ABC reported the countries that were helping us house Al-qaeda prisoners.
Ex-presidents Clinton and Carter (The Great Appeasers of our time) have consistently criticized our involvement in the war. Clinton had an especially nice touch telling Arab students in Dubai that Iraq was a mistake. It’s a shame he couldn’t have traveled a few hundred miles further and said the same to our American soldiers. However, he wouldn’t have received the same appearance fee and rousing applause.
Let us be blunt. They are all helping the enemy. Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Dick Durbin, Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Howard Dean and the other usual suspects would be less of a threat to the United States if they were transported to Iraq, given rifles and told to shoot at American Soldiers.
This whining about how we got there, bad intelligence, etc is now irrelevant. We are there, boots are on the ground, the team is on the field. How about joining our team and stop saying things that encourage the enemy. Winston Churchill would be aghast at the behavior of our politicians. Must the late 30’s be repeated? How long will it take these defeatists to recognize the severity of the enemy and the need for unity? Perhaps Bush’s "You're either with us or against us" sounded arrogant, but truer words were never spoken.
