How many 9/11s will it take?

This is my niece's husband Robert. On my MySpace page, I posted him as my hero. I meant it. He just flew to Iraq a couple of weeks ago. This image was taken the day he boarded his plane. I couldn't help adding the Mar Attacks image because Robert in this photo reminded me of Jack Black's character in the Tim Burton movie. He's far from that character mind you.

I was telling my friend J Holland a while back how I thought the movie Mar's Attacks was a pre-parody of the War in Iraq. Here we have an enemy who's determined purpose is to wipe America off the face of the earth (Israel too). We are after all are the infidels and should be purged from existence. Our government reacts to everything in a politically correct fashion, which quite frankly ties the hands of our soldiers in Iraq. There is no compromise with the enemy and unfortunately, putting Slim Whitman yodeling over the P.A. systems of the earth won't make the evil people go away. We have to do what ever it takes to fight this war and win.

"Certainly since Vietnam, America has increasingly practiced a policy of minimalism and restraint in war. And now this unacknowledged policy, which always makes a space for the enemy, has us in another long and rather passionless war against a weak enemy."

-Shelby Steele (Opinion Journal)

Victory for the democrat is to simply pull out for peace sake. Excuse me, they prefer we call it re-deploy but it's nothing but cutting and running। I guess they think that if we stop they will stop! Democrats have served our enemy well by their constant attempts to demoralize the troops by naming this another Vietnam. Do recall that it was politicians that made Vietnam what it was. Listen to me. The enemy will not stop their mission to destroy us. On the contrary they will come after us if we abandon the fight. They will come after us. We as a nation must get to a place where we are not going to simply pull out. We have to turn entrenched and ready ourselves to put a bullet in the head of our enemy.

This may sound offensive to many but that's my point. We have to get to a place where we are willing to do what it takes to fight a very real war. One can not negotiate with evil. We've got family over there, and the enemy is real, and we must deal with it. It's sad to think what it will take for Americans to come back from the mall and get serious.

I had a brief conversation with Robert back in January while sitting at a Logan's in Macon, GA। He had already been given the orders to go to Iraq and like most of his comrades, he was willing and ready to go। He had been briefed about the political limitations before going over there। Still, he was ready to go and serve his country and fight for peace. It's a sad thing to think that American leadership ties the hands of our troops at such a critical time. I am glad though that there are men and women like Robert who are willing to do what must be done. They are hero's.

"Why can't we all just get along!" Sorry Jack, the enemy wants us dead and that's a reality that you're just not going to hear over the major news media. The only peace our enemy desires is the peace after the smoke clears and America and Israel are no more. Peace for Islam and no one else.

Sorry Robert, I'll get a better picture of you to post next time around। God bless you Robert। Your new and extended family loves you and are praying for you!
