Recently I was wondering if anybody in Washington really cared about our Marines and soldiers fighting in Iraq.  They are still over there fighting and bleeding and dying for our country and for our freedom while the COWARDS IN CONGRESS play politics and stab them in the back.   The defeat-o-crats wrap themselves in the American flag and in their blind self-righteous defeatism proclaim, "this war is lost."  Really Sen. Reid?  The only people I see ready to quit are you and the clueless politicians in Washington. Our Marines are not quitting. Not after shedding their blood to make a difference in Iraq and for America and the world.  They are not blind and stupid and they understand the military and political significance of their mission. The blood of our American patriots cries out for  validation from the sands of Iraq.  The only relevant question is, how will America respond?

I haven't seen any troops surrendering and giving up or waving white flags on the news.  They are well equipped and well fed and cared for.  Better than any American soldiers in any previous wars.  Their morale is high and they are committed to winning.  Their main concern (other than staying alive), is the politicians in Washington who seem ready to surrender to the enemy on their behalf and stab them in the back once again while proclaiming how much "they care for the troops."  If that happens then the 3200+ lives lost so far will have been in vain.  Who gave a bunch of politicians sitting behind their desks in Washington the authority to tell the enemy that they have won and we are surrendering?  It is the single most disgraceful thing that I could ever hear a US Senator utter during a time of war.  This fool is suppose to be the leader of the Senate?  He ought to hang himself in shame.

It is the very acne of immoral and irresponsible national behavior for politicians to commit our troops to a war and then abandon them because it gets a little tough or they think it is politically convenient.  Just how far do they plan on retreating?  All Americans should be outraged at this behavior.  If they are not then I have to question if they really know what it means to be an American.  Has the great history of American sacrifice in the world gone unnoticed?  Our freedom was bought with a price. Many patriots have paid that price with their lives.  The soldiers fighting and dying in Iraq are paying the ultimate price.  Everyone there is a volunteer.  No one was drafted.  They are dedicated, committed and all we have to do is support them.  To me that seems the easy part - so why is it so hard for some?

If you find what I write here offensive then perhaps this will be a much needed wake up call.  How many 9/11's do we need to experience before we learn our lesson?  To give up and retreat is not a solution.  To give Iran and al Qaeda a military and political victory in Iraq is not a solution.  We paid for that ground with our blood and now we should just give it up?  That is insane and frankly speaking shameful.  If we quit and leave does anyone really think they will quit too?  Our national security should not be based on policies of wishful thinking.  The terrorists will not stop until we have made so many martyrs of them that they finally get tired of getting killed.  That is what war is.  They declared war on us - not the other way around.  They are not like these willy nilly politicians that say one thing to get elected and do another once when they are in office.  They are dedicated to jihad and right or wrong - they believe in what they are doing and are willing to fight and die for it.  The same cannot be said for our elected politicians.

The lack of vision as to why we are fighting in Iraq is undermining the base of support at home.  There are many reasons for this.  It doesn't really matter how we got there.  The fact is that we are there and so is the enemy.  The battle lines are drawn and what really matters now is how we leave.  The radical left and pacifist anti-war groups have played their part in sowing the seeds of doubt about the cause and 'morality' of this war.  The dishonest and lying anti-war terrorist friendly media has affected our perception of what is really happening there.  The political opportunists in Washington are like cannibals turning and eating their own for political survival and advantage.  These are the ones that sent them into this war and now think they can just change their minds for political convenience.  Our troops are still in this war and I figure if they can still fight and bleed and die then the least I can do is write a few words on their behalf.  I'm fed up with all the whining and lying that is going on in Washington.  I'm disgusted with the back stabbing political opportunists.  If anyone believes that pulling out our troops and throwing Iraq to the wolves is a solution then they are just naive wishful thinking fools.  How much peace will that really buy us and how will it solve the root of this problem which is radical Islamic terrorism?  And what about all the decent Iraqi people that depend on us to protect them from the thugs and terrorists?  Leaving Iraq now would be the moral equivalent of a late term abortion or even infanticide.  The newborn flame of freedom in Iraq needs to protected and nourished or it will be extinguished by the violent hatred of the extremists.

I'm not going to cut and run.  I'm not going to lay down and give up or surrender my country, America, to the insanity of defeatism.  I'm not going to appease or compromise with the absolute evil that we find in Islamic terrorism.  There is no honorable alternative to victory here.  Anybody that believes otherwise is just self deceived.  This appeasing and retreating political nonsense is a joke that is really not funny at all.  Every patriot that has fought and died for America since 1776 is looking down on this generation and wondering if they will ever wake up and cut through the dense fog of malaise and self-doubt and cynical pessimism that is crippling our faith in ourselves and our ability to fight as one Nation Under God.

If you want to be an ally of our enemies.  If you want to enable and empower the Islamic terrorists.  If you want to see America defeated in Iraq then support the insanity of defeatism shown by Sen. Harry Reid in Washington.  The blood of our modern day patriot heroes will be on your hands and like Pontius Pilate you will find that it is not easy to wash your hands clean.  "Out damm spot" you may say but I fear that the stain of a defeat in Iraq will bring immeasurable destruction and far reaching negative consequences to America and the world.  My fears are well justified because "I know my enemy."  The pure hatred for America found in these extremist is so intense it ought make your hair stand up on the back of your neck.

Now is the time to fight.  Now is the time to win.  Now is the time to lay the axe to the root of the problems in the Middle East, the birthplace of Islamic terrorism.  The question is, does this generation of Americans have the stomach and the will and the desire and the vision to win and be victorious?  The fate of America and the world's freedom hangs in the balance.  A line is literally drawn in the sand.  You may feel tired and worn out by this war as it drags on but let me ask you a simple question.  How do you think those Marines in Ramadi feel every night when they hit the rack?  If they have the strength and the will and the desire to do their difficult job then I can guarantee you that I will do mine without complaint.  Our job is to support them here at home and watch their backs.  They don't need to be protected from the terrorists.  They have will continue to win every engagment.  They need to be protected from the self-centered politicians in Washington that are willing turn them into sacrificial lambs in their blind lust for political power.   Like starving vultures they feed off the bodies of our fallen patriots.

It is our destiny as Americans to fight this war and win.  You may not want to fight it and you may pray, "if it be they will O Father, let this cup pass from me."  But if we as Americans have any honor left in us, and even just a spark of the fire of freedom burning in our hearts, then we can and will rise to the occasion.  God has given us everything we need to win, including the brave soldiers.  All we need now is for you to do your part and tell these idiots in Washington that we will not accept their lunatic asylum defeatism any longer.  We will not allow them to betray our soldiers for their political gain.  Our troops need your help.  The situation is very dire. These weasels need to be run out of town on a rail and given a one way ticket back home to wherever they came from.

I have only one more thing to say to Sen. Harry Reid and the rest of the retreat defeat carrion in Washington. 

If you do not stand behind our soldiers then please feel free to stand in front of them!

This video is a great tribute to young Marine that gave his life in taking back 'the worst city in the world', Ramadi, from the terrorists.  I ask you to watch it and consider what his life given in this war means for you and then honor the sacrifice that he and many other real heros have made in Iraq.
