Perspective of the 2 Tortured Soldiers

SOME TRUTH

Regardless of how you feel about the war in Iraq, your heart has to break when you hear of two US soldiers being captured, tortured, then executed at the hands of the enemy. I truly feel for their families. This unfortunate incident is now fueling calls to end the war and bring the troops home. Many Democrats in the Senate are now trying to get a vote on some proposed timetables for troop withdrawls, or as they now call it, "redeployment."

If anything, what happened to these soldiers should only embolden the belief that we must defeat these barbarians in Iraq. It must also show that we cannot allow ourselves to become weakened by the anti-war libs and media. Im telling all of you right now that we will not succeed in this war if we continue fighting it on the defensive. We are the most powerful nation in the history of the world for cryin out loud, but we sure as hell arent acting like it. The President and his war officials must now realize that we cannot continue to be nice to either the enemies or critics of this war, as its victory is essential for us all.

I understand that seeing people die is difficult. I hate it. But this is a war, just like WWII or the Civil War, and in those days you did whatever it took to achieve victory, and victory meant winning the war, not pulling troops out because of political pressure or any other arbitrary reason. Luckily in those days, there was no media questioning and undermining every single decision made, or reporting more on our military's few mistakes instead of their hundreds of successes. The critics of this war are complete and total hypocrits in most cases. This point is illustrated by the events of yesterday, where not one human rights group has condemed what happened to our soldiers. They only whine when its the US who allegedly did something wrong. Here is a paragraph by a man named Jeff Emanuel about this subject:

Interestingly silent in this and other atrocities carried out by the insurgents in Iraq are the "human rights" groups who seem to spend every day accusing the United States of torture, war crimes, and various human rights violations. UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan has called the Iraq War "Illegal," and John Pace, former UN chief of Human Rights for Iraq, has said that hyuman rights conditions are "as bad now as they were under Saddam," but was it America that filled mass graves with hundreds of thousands of murdered Iraqi Civilians? Last month, Human Rights Watch again accused the US of "brutalizing Muslim suspects in the name of the war on terror," but how many times of Americans strapped bombs to their own chests and purposely detonated themselves in a large crowd of civilians? Amnesty International's website highlights America's use of "torture or other cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment" against terrorist captives, but how many prisoners -- Muslim or otherwise -- have Americans brutally beheaded?

Thats exactly right, and Im tired of everyone trying to be nice. Personally, I dont really care if we torture suspected terrorits, I think they deserve it. Remember a few weeks ago when a couple of terrorists killed themselves at GITMO, I applauded their effort. I think that all terrorits should just go ahead and kill themselves. It will save the rest of us alot of trouble. I have no sympathy for people who behead and blowup innocent lives. Its competely absurd that the US has to answer to these idiots around the world who have no idea how to defeat Muslim extremists. To them I say, SCREW YOU! Screw Kofi Annan, Screw John Kerry and John Murtha, Screw the Human Rights Watch, the International Red Cross, and Amnesty International, Screw Cindy Sheehan and her clan of anti-American cohorts who want to see the demise of this great country, and lastly, Screw the New York Times, CNN, MSNBC, the BBC, and every other liberal news service that actively partcipates in helping the enemy during this war. Screw them all I say, and lets start fighting this war to win it, not to win the hearts and minds of people who dont deserve our sympathy. Lets win this war the way we have won wars of the past, by blowing stuff up and showing the enemy who is superior. To use an analogy, right now the United States is involved in a fist fight but is only using one pinky.

Allow me to reiterate, we must win the war before pulling the troops out. The consequences would be catastrophic. We are making progress over there, and we will continue to. Yes, there will still be American casualties, but this is a war. We lost more than 400,000 in World War II, and I dont think any person would say that their sacrifice wasnt worth it. We are once again involved in a world war, terrorism is just as dangerous as fascism, and we must start acting like it. Its time to take the gloves off like past generations did, with no regrets. Let the military do its job and win the war before they come home. V-I Day could be here before you know it, but first, I say again, lets Win the War.
