President Bush is one of the good guys. He's got a pair of balls and a Texas attitude that you liberal A/Holes just don't comprehend. Go strap on an F-16 like he has and you may just get a glimmer of what he's really like.
Warmongering?
Ah, so soon you all forget, or is it you are just too young to remember. Saddam brought death and destruction down on himself.
For years, he arrogantly told the UN to go to Hell. He was given numerous chances over several years to allow full inspections for WMD's. He would not allow full and complete inspections. During all that time, I think he moved the weapons he had to Syria or buried them in the Iraqi desert. He did not think anyone had the balls to finally give him an ultimatum and follow through with military action if he did not comply with the UN sanctions. After 9/11, he gambled wrong. 9/11 changed the playing field on a world scale. Also if Colin Powell had not stopped General Norman Schwarzkopf during the Kuwaiti conflict, this last conflict would not have been necessary. You need to understand that we are at war, and thank God, our Military, and our President for making the hard decisions it takes to keep conflicts overseas and not in our streets.
Please read the following;
General Hawley, is a newly retired USAF 4 star general. He commanded the Air Combat Command (our front-line fighters and bombers) at Langley AFB, VA. He is now retired and no longer required to be politically correct. A true patriot!
"Since the attack on 9-11, I have seen, heard, and read thoughts of such surpassing stupidity that they must be addressed. You've heard
them too. Here they are:
1) "We're not good, they're not evil, everything is relative."
Listen carefully: We're good, they're evil, and nothing is relative. Say it with me now and free yourselves. You see folks, saying "We're
good" doesn't mean, "We're perfect." Okay? The only perfect being is the bearded guy on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. The plain fact is that our country has, with all our mistakes and blunders, always been and always will be the greatest beacon of freedom, charity, opportunity, and affection in history. If you need proof, open all the borders on Earth and see what happens.
2) "Violence only leads to more violence."
This one is so stupid you usually have to be the president of an Ivy League university to say it. Here's the truth, which you know in your heads and hearts already: Ineffective, unfocused violence leads to more violence. Limp, panicky, half measures lead to more violence. However, complete, fully thought through, professional, well executed violence never leads to more violence because, you see, afterwards, the other guys are all dead. That's right, dead. Not "on trial," not
"reeducated," not "nurtured back into the bosom of love." Dead.
3) "The CIA and the rest of our intelligence community have failed us."
For 25 years we have chained our spies like dogs to a stake in the ground, and now that the house has been robbed, we yell at them for
not protecting us. Starting in the late seventies, under Carter appointee Stansfield Turner, the giant brains who get these giant ideas decided that the best way to gather international intelligence was to use spy satellites. "After all, (they reasoned,) you can see a license plate from 200 miles away." This is very helpful if you've been attacked by a license plate. Unfortunately, we were attacked by humans. Finding humans is not possible with satellites. You have to use other humans. When we bought all our satellites, we fired all our humans, and here's the really stupid part. It takes years, decades to infiltrate new humans into the worst places of the world. You can't just have a guy who looks like Gary Busey in a Spring Break '93 sweatshirt plop himself down in a coffee shop in Kabul and say "Hiya, boys. Gee, I sure would like to meet that bin Laden fella". Well, you can, but all you'd be doing is giving the bad guys a story they'll be telling for years.
4) "These people are poor and helpless, and that's why they're angry at us."
Uh-huh, and Jeffrey Dahmer's frozen head collection was just a desperate cry for help. The terrorists and their backers are richer than Elton John and, ironically, a good deal less annoying. The poor helpless people, you see, are the villagers they tortured and murdered to stay in power. Mohammed Atta, one of the evil scumbags who steered those planes into the killing grounds is the son of a Cairo surgeon.
But you knew this, too. In the sixties and seventies, all the pinheads marching against the war were upper-middle-class college kids who grabbed any cause they could think of to get out of their final papers and spend more time drinking. It's the same today.
5) "Any profiling is racial profiling."
Who's killing us here, the Norwegians? Just days after the attack, The New York Times had an article saying dozens of extended members of the gazillionaire bin Laden family living in America were afraid of reprisals and left in a huff, never to return to studying at Harvard and using too much Drakkar. I'm crushed. Please come back. Let's all stop singing "We Are the World" for a minute and think practically. I don't want to be sitting on the floor in the back of a plane four seconds away from hitting Mt.Rushmore and turn, grinning, to the guy next to me to say, "Well, at least we didn't offend them."
SO HERE'S what I resolve for the New Year: Never to forget our murdered brothers and sisters. Never to let the relativists get away with their immoral thinking. After all, no matter what your daughter's political science professor says, we didn't start this. Have you seen that bumper sticker that says, "No More Hiroshima’s"? I wish I had one that says, "No More Pearl Harbor’s”.
