I believe the American government chose to lose both the war on terror in Iraq and the war in Afghanistan in the first 12 months of each of those fronts but not for the reason that so many on the far left would have us believe. We lost because our government has not only refused to understand the so called “religion of peace” (Islam) but has actually insisted on choosing the very Islamic supremacist type of Muslim’s that are allied with the Islamic terrorists we are supposedly at war with.
I don’t believe in the “Bush lied, people died” mantra, but I do believe that seven years after 9/11 Bush is no better informed about who or what the real enemy is, than he was pre-9/11. What a shame, but more to the point what a complete failure of our leader’s clarity of vision. None the less, I do recall a united bi-partisan agreement to both the Afghanistan and Iraqi wars and the fact that nearly 70% of our citizenry now believe it was all a President Bush/Republican “plot” to settle an old score with Saddam Hussein simply high lights the power and duplicity of our liberal mainstream media’s ability to alter the facts to whatever they choose to make of them. It’s like that book, “Animal Farm” come to life.
The reasons I believe that we have lost both the Afghanistan and Iraqi wars are as follows.
1. We allowed both governments to install Sharia Law (Islamic law) as the highest authority of both countries governments. This means that no matter what else we achieve during our endeavors in either country, we had already lost.
2. We have allowed both governments to openly display their Islamic supremacist pathos in many unchallenged ways. For example, neither country allows non-Islamic religious leaders into their countries even as America allows hundreds (if not thousands) of these countries own Islamic religious leaders into our own country. We continue to allow both countries governments to openly snub and belittle all the positive and often costly rebuilding efforts by our American soldiers. For example the Iraqi government is actually tearing down some of the schools, playgrounds and other construction projects built with the American taxpayer dollars and with the blood of our service members, and then rebuilding them just so the Iraqi government can point to these projects as Iraqi (Muslim) built.
3. We have allowed the Iraqi government to save their billion’s in oil profits while American’s continue paying the exorbitant costs of trying to rebuild infrastructure and in many cases create infrastructure that never existed to begin with. All the while, in the case of Iraq, going overboard to pay American taxpayer dollars to non-American oil contractors to rebuild and help themselves to the vast Iraqi oil supplies; just so our western “allies” won’t claim we only invaded Iraq for their oil.
4. Our servicemembers must behave in strict "dhimmni" accordance, the second class status afforded to all "infidels" by most intollerant - Islamic governed nations around the world, while tyring to hold their own religious (read non-Islamic) services to bolster their morale, remember their dead, etc. Anyone remember the little "incidents" reported in both Iraq and Afghanistan where U.S. soldiers treated the odd-Islamic holy book, the Koran, with anything less than the greatest reverence? Or how, even our female U.S. citizens serving our country are obligated to wear the ridiculous Islamic garb whenever they are out in the public view aside from combat patrols, when they are then asked to do their best to stay out of sight.
Don’t even get me started on the support or lack thereof, shown by our many so called “allies.” I am a firm believer in taking the war to our enemies and fighting those necessary battles on their ground in their countries but I am also a firm believer that the moment we allowed these two Muslim governments to install Sharia Law as the foundation of their constitutions we had already lost; and every drop of American blood, sweat, and tears, not to mention the many billions and billions of American dollars, were all spent in vain.
The really depressing part of this mess is that it isn’t as if America didn’t have experience in how to rebuild former enemy governments, as we have successfully done in both Germany and Japan. It would appear that none of our current political leaders, as well as our military leaders, bothered to study those successes choosing instead to believe that the Iraqi citizenry would simply greet us with joy and an equally pervasive Multicultural love fest. Apparently nobody in power ever thought about the history of Islam or the fact that Shiite, Sunni, Kurds and Christians all occupied this country in one of the most violent and turbulent regions of the world.
This failure of any firm grasp of reality or a “plan” is equally obvious in almost every international endeavor the U.S. is currently involved in. From the abortion that is the U.N., the ludicrous NATO organization, and even to low-tech, extremely violent Islamic “pirates” attacking ships under the noses of the impotent American navy, who don’t want to “hurt anyone” because that may cause more anti-American sentiments among our “allies” and certain NGO’s.
I have news for our politically correct leaders, we are already the favorite whipping post for the rest of the world so why not use the conviction of our own belief in America and do the right thing regardless of what our sniveling “allies” think. I, for one, actually believe that showing a little back bone would actually garner the very support that our government seems to crave from the majority of the worlds leaders.
