Anti-War Lunacy

Did you know that back in June of this year a “world tribunal” was held to put the United States and its allies in Iraq on trial for their actions in that country? It’s true. They held it in Istanbul.

You know what one of their findings were? That the terrorist insurgency in Iraq was and is justified in its murder of Iraqi civilians and coalition troops.

It was finding number eleven in the tribunal’s “overview of findings:”

11. There is widespread opposition to the occupation. Political, social, and civil resistance through peaceful means is subjected to repression by the occupying forces. It is the occupation and its brutality that has provoked a strong armed resistance and certain acts of desperation. By the principles embodied in the UN Charter and in international law, the popular national resistance to the occupation is legitimate and justified. It deserves the support of people everywhere who care for justice and freedom.

Disgusting, no?

And guess who was behind this tribunal and these findings? More than a few prominent U.S. anti-war groups, among them:

The Campus Anti-War Network

Code Pink (A group with close ties to Congressional Democrats and Cindy Sheehan)

International A.N.S.W.E.R. (Who’s founder is one of Saddam’s lawyers)

And a host of others.

These people are actively supporting the enemy, not to mention terrorism. These people are also behind most of the anti-war rallies and protests we hear about in the media. They are the loudest voices in the anti-war movement. Collectively, they garner more attention to the anti-war cause than anyone else.

And, collectively, they are on the other side.

Reasoned opposition to America’s foreign policies decision with regard to the middle east are one thing, but openly supporting the enemy is quite another. And that is, without equivocation, what these people are doing.

"...They held it in Istanbul."

Don't you mean Constantinople?

"Where were they in 1493?"

Or 1453? How about the genocide against the Armenians in WW1, the ethnic cleansing on Cypress in 1974, the massacre at Chios in 1822, or the burning of Smyrna in 1922?

And if our govt does nothing about it while those traitors actively support the enemy, it deserves all the egg it gets on its face.

"Let's not make them martyrs," is a lame argument. They are making the noble fallen soldiers into martyrs, with the help of a traitorous media. Let's make them martyrs. Drive them into courtrooms and hear the lamentations of their lawyers.

National Student Counter-Recruitment Conference had this bit of wisdom to share with us:

Students have found myriad ways of taking the military to task for the lies it tells us, for the bigotry of its 'Don't Ask Don't Tell' policy, and most of all, for asking our generation to become cannon fodder in an occupation the majority of Americans oppose

This is what happens when dumb high school students go to college to become little democrats who hate the military and the job it is doing to protect the USA.

Ohhh, stunning. Words fail me. God bless their souls. Thank you for the reminder, and the necessary ammunition to send to email whiners among family or acquaintances.

Thank you for your Good and Caring Heart, AW.

Tell all to see the stunning new Vietnamese American Film due out later this year titled:


"JOURNEY from the FALL"


...that graphically exposes the massive suffering imposed by GODless Communist Vietnamese Captors upon their once Free South Vietnamese captives after America abandoned them to their fate in 1975.

"The PASSION OF THE Christ" 's massive suffering took place 2,000 years ago.

"The JOURNEY from the FALL" 's massive suffering took place in our lifetime.


And now there are those who would repeat that massive suffering yet again in Iraq & here.


Now, WHY do you suppose they'd want to do that..?

The most offensive part of the statement is found in overview item X.
There is widespread opposition to the occupation. Political, social, and civil resistance through peaceful means is subjected to repression by the occupying forces. It is the occupation and its brutality that has provoked a strong armed resistance and certain acts of desperation. By the principles embodied in the UN Charter and in international law, the popular national resistance to the occupation is legitimate and justified.” It deserves the support of people everywhere who care for justice and freedom.

Not only disgusting, but a boldfaced lie.

The anti-war loonies live in a world that doesn't exist. They should be forced to to watch 'A Few Good Men' endlessly until the message sinks.

Col. Jessep: Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.
