"Was sent in as an E-Mail by One of Our Best Posters"

Good Morning,


   As usual this morning was typical. Coffee and the remote. The quote I am about to describe really pissed me off. On the Morning Joe show they were having the obligatory roundtable. The conversation was about executive pay. Yadda Yadda Yadda. No front page news there.
The comment that really got me, was when the older balding fellow that is a mainstay on the show who's first name is Mike made an offhand comment. Sorry, but I forgot his last name. He said the following, and this is paraphrased. "Of all the things that are going on today, guess what they are having in Washington today? The Iraqi Business Conference!" He went on to make the statement that this event came at a tremendous price of many dollars and 4500 lives.


  I'm sorry, but screw you. How about the fact that the Iraqis are having a business conference versus being maimed and tortured by Sadam Hussan. The fact that the elevation of Iraq from third world status to a viable functioning democracy. A democracy that is able to send their representatives to Washington. Forget the fact that Barak Obama and Company have spent in seven months our children's future, and are now working on our Great Great Grandchildren's legacy through lies and deceit in the name of reform. Forget the fact that the price tag of Iraq is a mere pittance to the money they want to spend in the name of Healthcare and Energy reform. Not to mention what they have spent to date.


    Heaven forbid if he could have mentioned the fact that the 4500 brave men and women of the armed service DID fulfill their dream of helping to create a free state in the mist of a totalitarian world. That because of their sacrifice the Iraqis can now send men and women to Washington for such an event. No, No No!!! That's not part of the agenda. How about a simple "THANKS" to our troops for their sacrifice. How about we achieved the goal, and the juice was worth the squeeze.


   I will take it one step further. If ONE soldier dies in Afghanistan today, his or her death should be placed at the foot of Obama. When our President puts a political agenda in front of the lives or our armed forces he should be held accountable for his actions, or lack of. The latter I think.


   Maybe we should pull out of this fight?  Maybe we should allow the Taliban to regain control of the area? Maybe when we do get HIT again by these radicals  we will once again regain our sense of purpose? The purpose  that we once had in the days preceding 911? How soon we forget .Please don't get me wrong when I say the above. I hope it never happens. However, with the mentality that is rampant among the leftist elites, I honestly think that it takes the aftermath of a tragic event to help regain our insights of purpose. That an event of magnitude would serve to wake up our great Country to elect a President that could act decisively and get the JOB done!!! That an event would serve as a reminder that the world is not a kind place, and that we are a target of evil. That an event would serve as a vehicle to send the politically correct cowards back into the holes from which they have emerged.


Will history repeat itself. Carter, Obama then ???. 


God Bless our Troops.
