Winning the War in Iraq, Winning the Global War on Terror!
The global war on terror centers for now on the US war in Iraq which, if you believe the claims, is only one part of the US war on terror; some would say it’s the beginning of the war on terror. It is true, of all the countries which support the war on terror, America once again leads the way. Whether you’re pro war in Iraq or anti war in Iraq --what ever the reason for the war in Iraq-- America is still the most advanced form of freedom on the planet and that system is under siege... The war against terror is not a war against Iraq. In fact, to a terrorist this is the war against freedom.
Like it or not, the Bush war on terror is as real as it gets and its all that stands between us and terror in the streets and institutions of America. Some say we are loosing the war on terror. My friends, if it weren’t for President Bush and the war on terror and President Bush and the war in Iraq, we’d be living in a different world, no doubt. But in this world we are winning the war on terror, unless we do nothing. After all, this is not a game between the Dodgers and the Mets and while you’re counting the cost of war in Iraq, consider the cost of loosing the war on terror.
Speaking strictly for me, the very reason for war in Iraq-- “weapons of mass destruction,” to be simplistic, was certainly a deception, as much as any “over-sight” can be a deception. But were the Iran/Iraq wars and the Kuwait/Iraq war a deception too? We know they were a UN “over-sight”
The real reason for the war in Iraq was to secure an arena for battle with an enemy which, since the Afghanistan war on terror, has had no home. That’s because the war on terror in Afghanistan was engaged, to begin with. Every Bush speech on the war on terror proclaims as much, if you want to hear it: Busy the bastards with the engagement which is inevitable anyway. Deny them safe-haven by seizing their facilities and create a stable theater for staging the Iraq war on terror, at the center of a long- unstable middle-east region. We now have a battle ground to train the very troops which may yet be called to fight this new kind of enemy at home—and if all efforts fail, we’re sitt’n on a heap-a’-oil…just in case. By freeing an oppressed nation, we now have an ally and an example of democracy in a land desperate for alternatives. Now we’re feeding the snake its own tail!
Sound logic--and it should work, but when I turn on news of war in Iraq, every Iraq war video and Iraq war picture seems to be about the Iraq war death toll. That’s why I’m writing this article on the war in Iraq. Or is it a war on terror article? Maybe it’s about the oil factor behind the war on terror… I don’t want to just contribute more war on terror propaganda to the collective pool, but then again, propaganda is the history of the war on terror—that’s not exclusive to the Bush war on terror…
Look, enough of this war on terror pro/cons.
To maximize America’s service to the cause, let’s put our “ global-war-on-terror-service-medal ” to the challenge and find alternative energy sources. Let ‘em eat sand I say, let ‘em eat sand…In the mean-time, thanks to the Bush war in Iraq, the US is winning the war on terror.
