Get the Hell Out of Afghanistan!

http://news.yahoo.com/s/time/08599206325700

Forget about all the women in Burkas. That is their culture and their religion as soon as our tanks are out of there, the men will impose their tyranny again. Eventually the seeds sown by USA will germinate and flourish and the women will take care of themselves. Sad that it will take a long time but that is the way in very rural areas worldwide. Forget about the Afghan people. We have one misguided person in Florida who burns a Koran and the Afghans kill eight people in reprisal. Noteworthy is that the Florida burning didn’t inflame hatred until our supposed ally Karzai raised it as a rally point for muslim bigots. Forget about the Taliban. They are a political party of muslim zealots who want Sharia law in Pakistan ( nuclear power) and Afghanistan. Hey, if the people are going to allow themselves to be beheaded by a bunch of overly zealot Moslem terrorists. What are we supposed to do about it. Really! We are thousands of miles and a thousand years away from them. You know, all the things that our USA government is doing there used to be handed by Christian missionaries who brought food, medicine, education and Western progress to benighted rural area’s of the world. The correction of Afghan cultural and religious issues is not a USA government or even a USA people problem. It is their problem. Stop the war. Stop the killing, bombing and aggression. Bring our troops home now and spend the 60 billion dollar war budget here. Hey, just give every American a percentage tax break for every billion dollars saved by not fighting a losing battle in Afghanistan. Obama is wrong to continue and to escalate the war there. We need to get out.

Mc Cain Libermann Warmongering?

The drums of war beat loud and fast for some leaders. It is amazing to hear Senators Libermann and Mc Cain in full support of the illegal bombing of Libya. Today I read that Nato, ( that means American) fighters bombs Gadhafi’s home town. Now aren’t these people innocent of any crime? The article said that the bombs were dropped on his home town because the people there supported him. That is just plain immoral. The people there are free to have their political opinions. If they want to back Gadhafi that is their “constitutional” right. I mean, let’s be honest, we say we are for freedom of speech and freedom of political opinion but we bomb Libyan people BECAUSE they exercise their freedom to support whomever political leader they want to support. But it is not the leader that Obama says they are allowed to support. So, we are bombing them. Likewise, I read that we strafed and bombed Gadhafi’s troops, tanks and armored personnel for the purpose of allowing the rebels to gain control of a city and to regain control of another. A few days ago the President and his spokespeople said that it was unfair for Gadhafi to have tanks and troops and armored personnel carriers and we were going to ” level the playing field.” But now the rebels have our planes and bombs in limitless supply while we force Gadhafi forces to have no planes and we wantonly destroy his tanks and helicopters. So now, I ask, who has the unfair advantage and that unfair advantage is not even Libyan it is foreign. And even worse, it is the colonialist imperialist forces of France and England and shamefully, American. Now, on Meet the Press we even hear a Senator say that we should support the internal unrest in Syria, seek to over throw the Syrian government and if needed bomb Syria and put boots on the ground in both Syria and Libya. This writer wants to know if the good Senator thinks we should pour down bombs upon Mecca in Saudi Arabia, a tyranical monarchy and and should we also bomb Palestine a home to Hamas and while we are at it, maybe a few cruise missiles should be shot at Lebanon and Hezbollah? The warmongering of President Obama is amazingly brazen. These are American planes paid for with American dollars and American pilots on the US military payroll and Congress which is the ONLY part of the US government under the Constitution which is allowed to declare war is not even consulted!! Instead the warmongers consult NATO in Brussels, (the new world order headquarters) and the Arab league, (who the hell are they?) and the United Nations, (the historic new world order headquarters.) And what did we seek from them? We asked their permission. And once the US President got their permission our overly aggressive President told us lie and lie as he pursued a bellicose war path of wanton destruction upon the five million people of Libya, all the while denying an attempt to kill Gadahfi and declaring that our effort is humanitarian. Well, what is humanitarian about a war waged against the sovereign state of Libya? Should the USA be cavorting with the ugly colonialist imperialist regimes of England and France against an Arab nation? Well, enough said on that. Now to the outflanking of the Congress as the President takes to the public broadcasting system to force the Congress to approve his constitutionally illegal action by appealing directly to the public. I hope the people will reject the President’s facile manipulation of his power to dictate another war and one which is plainly raw aggression.

Is Syria Next to Fall?

The Obama administration is either oblivious to the north Africia revolution’s potential to create a Muslim Arab Caliphate or it is assisting in the creation of such a thing! Granted, the area could use new leadership but the destruction of Libya and the destabilization of all of North Africa is not the way to do it. Rather, this observer is amazed at the organized consistency of the so call spontaneous uprising of the peoples. There is just too much sameness and too much regularity in the process, which is consistently starting with peaceful citizen protests and rallies, then followed by shooting and then a regularly correographed progression of increasingly radicalized demonstrations. All of them are aimed at overthrowing the regimes of each of the countries. None of them seeks reform or renewal and none is open compromise and negotiation. They want power. They want control of each national government. They want legitimacy so that each new revolutionary government will have access to all the resources, money and power of each nation. They want to immediately be recognized as the legal government of that nation, so as to enjoy the sovereign rights and protections that they deny to the present governments. It is not beyond this writers sense of the possible to see in this amazingly well organized and in the amazing sameness of each nations revolutions- it is possible to see a pattern that tells us that someone else or some other group is calling the shots and pulling the strings. Al Qaida? The muslim brotherhood? Some othr nefarious group of “New World Order” zealots? Is the liberal Western Press and media being “played the fool?” by a cynical and vicious group of international corporate criminals? Are the Western governments and especially President Obama being duped by terrorist groups that play to his ideological zealotry? Fearfully, our war planes and bombs may be aiding our ideological enemies and paving the way for them to seize control over the assets that they need to carry out a program of destabilization in Europe with the goal of weakening and eventually, (say twenty five years from now. (Hey they think long term!) of eventually defeating the USA?

Russia Wants Help of Roman Catholic Church!

http://www.zenit.org/article-31780?l=english

On my blog at http://www.bible-study-for-everyone.com I chronicled the movement of the Russian Orthodox East toward the Roman Catholic West. Now, the visit of the President of Russia to the Pope is the latest and very highly significant event in this process. The Russians have experienced what the West Europeans and Americans are feverishly pursuing. They finally emerged from their 70 year slavery to Communist Socialism. And they intend never to go back. Therefore, they see hope in only one place, it is the home of their one time arch enemy, the Christian Church. Like Saint Paul, the one time persecutors of the Church have had a Damascus Road experience. They now embrace the Church as a haven of sanity in an insane world and having experienced the dictatorship of Utopian Socialist Dictators like Lenin and Stalin, the Russians now see that the formerly Christian Europeans are blindly following materialism and liberal socialism into their own enslavement. So, the Russians have already turned to their native religion, Russian Orthodoxy and Russian Orthodoxy has reached out to Pope Paul II and now to Benedict XVI. They want to join hands and cooperate and collaborate on joint missions because they realize that rampant Secularism and resurgent radical Islamic Jihadism is a very dire threat to peace, freedom and stability.

End Both Wars Immediately

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110217/ap_on_re_us/us_congress_spending

We gave Iraq their freedom, now let them defend it themselves. If they cannot or will not, tough luck, Charlie. As regards Afghanistan, that is a hell hole of a place. Let the Russians and the Iranians worry about it. Let’s save the 158 billion, BRING THE TROOPS HOME. Yes, they may be un employed here, ( if they leave the Army) but at least they will not die for ungrateful and arrogant Islamic cultures.

Tell Iraq where to shove it.

As a soldier (COL) retired who served four years in support of Iraqi freedom (stateside) I find this article appalling and a desecration to the memories of thousands of US war dead and an insult to the thousands more injured and maimed in defending the Iraqi people against themselves, their fanatical Jihadists, their human bomb terrorists and their violent culture. Instead, we demand that the Iraqi government immediately disavow this article, publically criticize those who made it and apologize to the American people for such insensitivity.
