Its Them or Us… Period!


Get a Grip, America! Its Them or Us… Period!

Are the Islamofacists making an effort, in Iraq, to influence the US Election? It sure seems that they are. The escalation of the violence and killing would lead one to believe that they may be unable to bomb a train in the US, as they did in Spain, to influence the Spanish Election, but they sure as heck can claim more lives in Iraq.

The mainstream media tells us those Islamofacists are “media savvy”. Well, that may be. But, frankly, the Mainstream Media doesn’t seem all that “savvy”, themselves, to a host of us.

Seems to me, a really media savvy person would recognize that the US citizens are not going to cower and do their bidding as some other nations might. As a matter of fact, a truly Media Savvy Islamofacist would know that raising the level of violence will drive conservative voters, in the US, to vote for the conservative candidates. Conservative candidates who become conservative incumbents certainly are not going to call the US troops off and bring them home. So, shilling for the Liberal Left candidates, by raising the level of terror in Iraq, is backfiring, big time. Far from the desired effect of chasing American voters to the polls to demand that US forces be “redeployed” home, it has the opposite effect. It simply infuriates Americans and the majority of us are not easily coerced into voting they way a terrorist insists we vote.

If, by “Media Savvy”, one means the Islamofacists know how to manipulate the mainstream media… well, that takes no great stretch of sophistication. It is easily done and it IS done often.

In the meantime, the psychobabble of “Winning hearts and Minds” is a formula for getting US troops killed.

I have never bought into that pipe dream. In war, forget winning hearts and minds. Get the enemy by the testacles and you can take him anywhere you want him to go. We have not done that in Iraq. It is frustrating to our troops... and to the American public.

Dare I say that I feel we are wasting valuable time in the Iraq Theatre of War by insisting on building a democratic government? In reality, that democratic government we are spending so much time, money, energy, and American lives upon, will last only as long as the US troops remain in Iraq. The minute Americans troops are gone… so is democracy in Iraq.

Look, we have got to get over ourselves! We have got to stop forcing democracy on other nations. It won’t work. It can’t work. Forcing democracy on other nations is NOT the democratic way!

As “Nation Builders”… we suck! “Nation Building” is another of those psychobabble phrases, which is supposed to make us feel all warm and fuzzy. In the real world, it doesn’t work… and much blood is spilled in the process.

If we really want to win the war in Iraq, we’ll get more aggressive with this war. We’ll take the fight to the terrorists and continue an all out nation wide attack, day in and day out, ‘til we bring this war to a successful conclusion. Forget “Winning Hearts and Minds. Forget “Nation Building”. Forget everything… except seeking out the enemy, and engaging him in combat… until he is dead.

Until we can do that, this six-week war is going to last six decades and we will be in no better position than we are today.

I had no problem with going into Iraq when we did. What I do have a problem with, and many other Americans have a problem with, is what appears to be a distraction from our primary purpose in Iraq. I’m not interested in bringing, or taking, democracy to anybody. I was, and I remain, interested in destroying Saddam’s regime, and the Iraqi ability to create weapons of mass destruction, and their ability to wage war. After that, frankly, I don’t care. If they choose to wage a civil war among themselves, so be it. As long as there is no threat to Americans, or American interests, then let them have at each other.

The major threat to the US, and the free world, is from the Islamofacists. We are in a war to the death. The globe is not big enough for free people… and Islamofacists. One of us must be wiped out.

Here in the US, we are slowly coming to understand that Europe is already lost, to the Islamofacists, in this war. Africa is lost, Asia is all but lost, and much of South America is lost, or well on the way. As is usual, it will be the US, the Mother Country, and our two sister countries, who will be the only thing standing between an Islamic takeover of the world and the survival of civilization.

You can parse it, and nuance it, as much as you want. But, in the final analysis, it is them or us!
