You know what really bugs me about the war in Iraq?
The fact that nobody just says what is the plain truth about why we are there. I mean the real reason. The Paramount reason.
We are in Iraq to project extreme and irresistible geopolitical force in the most critical area on the planet. We are projecting this force to send one message and only one message to our enemies. We will not back down. You pushed and you pushed and now we have had enough. We are out to kill you. We will not quit. Islamism will not be allowed to become any more of a force on this planet than it already has and in fact it shall be reduced. Even crippled.
Furthermore the message is: We have only just begun. We realize you are slow to learn. Iran and Syria are next. Pakistan will either swing in the accepted direction or it shall fall as well. It matters not who wins the coming election. We will defeat and cripple you. Your nations shall be reduced to shadows of their former selves and there will be no Marshall Plan.
Either the governments now under the sway of Islamism join us in this fight against the religious fanatics or they will be SWEPT AWAY.
There is absolutely no alternative!
For obvious reasons, it was deleted.
Now, just for that, I'll have to raise two frothy mugs tonight! :-)
Bravo great response. Heroes bump.
Thanks for the ping Sam.
God Bless your Family.
I concur on both accounts.
My condolences to your family for suffering the agony of the loss of Adam. The anguish is unbearable enough, I know, and made worse by the ignorance and arrogance of the left speaking piously about the death of our troops in one breath as they degrade them in their next breath.
And thank you for speaking what is in the hearts of so many family members who also lost loved ones over in Iraq protecting the future of our beloved country. My cousin Michael was killed in Iraq on April 24th and he believed heart and soul that what we were doing there was right and important. He cherished our country and when he got his orders he said he was grateful to have the honor to fight to protect America. These leftists don't have a clue about the patriotism or courage of our troops.
God bless him for the sacrifice he made. This FReeping family's thoughts are with you and yours.
Bumpity, bump.
Well Said Sir, Well Said Indeed
With Utmost Regards and deepest sympathy for your loss.

devolve, I bet you get a lot of people sitting around listening to music after they open this!!
That was a great reply, proud of you for writing it. I'm sorry for your loss.
My son- and others in his unit- all wear bracelets with the name of the soldier KIA in his unit in Iraq. They will remember him all their lives- and they KNOW- he GAVE his life- and it will and is not in vain.
Thank you for writing the letter- and for sharing it with us. HOOAH!
Proud Army Mom
You wrote a perfect response. Having said that, please inform your family that we are saddened by your loss, and the great sacrifice paid.
God Bless America and the young men and women who serve her so faithfully.
Well done!
Thank You so much for Posting Your thoughts and comments.
Your Family is being Prayed for continually.
How Proud You must be to have such Brave Young Men in your Family Serving our Country during this time of War.
Your nephew Adam is now Serving our LORD in His Heavenly Army.
And Christopher is carring out his Duties and Service to Keep US ALL Safe and Free.
GOD BLESS The United States Military...Past, Present and Future.
Where would we be without?...Our Soldiers, Marines, Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard and Special Forces.
Thanking GOD for Each and Every Precious One, and Praying Without Ceasing for their Safe and Soon Return.
GOD BLESS AND PROTECT AMERICA...THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE!
