ISG Report – What Did We Expect?

The
anticipation is over with now, folks.
The “report” is out in all its “dire” pessimism, and aren’t we all proud
to be Americans with this kind of “forward” thinking making our stamp on humanity?
By
the way, this is the 65th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor
– you know, that other time that a bunch of crazed, cut-throat “people with a
purpose” thought they could give us a sucker punch and put us down for the
count. It was a numbers game then too,
and we were outnumbered – but we never lost sight of the only goal that would
rid us of the enemy and protect our homeland – victory.
Now
these ten proud brain trusts – the ISG for short, are even more proud to point
out that they have assessed the current conflict and deliberately eliminated
the word, “victory” from their infamous report. Victory for us, that is.
I
have one question: Where the heck did
my country go?
The
long and short of it is that Iraq has one big problem right now. All the others sited in this “statement of
the obvious” report are peanuts compared to the biggy – too many bad guys are
indiscriminately killing folks in that country! That’s what caused the war and that’s what is continuing it. We are supposed to be there to help the good
guys win the war – and that means more of the bad guys have to get killed than
good guys.
All
the flowery talk about “a way forward” and repairing infrastructure and economy
won’t insure that Iraq will not continue to be a hotbed of terrorism for years
if we don’t kill all the bad guys!
Because if we don’t do that, their intention is to kill as many of us as
it takes to acquire our submission to their beliefs. Iraq’s neighboring countries have absolutely no interest in helping
us do what needs to be done there, so the idea of going to any of them with our
hat in hand and asking for help is worse that idiotic and ludicrous!
Too
many Americans seem to think that all would be well if we would just pull out
and let the chips fall where they may, or if we would just funnel money into
the fledgling government of Iraq and let them do what they can with it.
They
have the resources to acquire all the money they’ll ever need! What they don’t have is the ability to keep
the bullies from beating them up and taking it all away to use against us right
now.
In
this instant gratification world we live in, people seem to think that wars
this important can be won in days or weeks and that years or decades shouldn’t
be required. As long as we are
remembering WWII today, can anybody answer one simple question? Does anybody remember when total control of
Okinawa was given over to Japan after that war? The year, if memory serves me right, was 1972, ladies and
gentlemen. That took a long time. Can anyone say that it was not worth
it? We propped up all of worn torn
Europe for years and years, just so the elite there can now thumb their noses
at us – but none of those previously dangerous powers have attacked us again,
have they?
Take
a good, fresh new look at America, folks, and tell me why we should ever listen
to the pessimistic rantings of a bunch of has-been patriots telling us that we
are losing the war in Iraq and it is time for us to seek counsel with our
enemies to stop it!
God
help us if President Bush gives this report too much weight in his decision
making!
