Thoughts on the Election Results from a Soldier in Iraq
Rusty Humphries Show ^ | 11/09/06 | cp124

Posted on 11/09/2006 8:05:57 PM PST by cp124

I know you probably get a lot of messages asking you to read stuff on your show, but I BEG you to read this...... I would like you to tell America exactly what they did to their soldiers on Tuesday, and what WE think about our countrymen right now.

"I hope you are satisfied with what you have done...

Today in the mess hall, where there is usually jovial conversation, there was silence, long faces, and broken spirits... Everyone, to include all American soldiers, marines, sailors, airmen, Iraqi Nationals, Bulgarian Soldiers, etc, etc... was speechless, tired, demoralized and stunned.... all ate in erie silence.....

Last night, while we watched the press conference with the President, there was utter discust, and the common feeling amongst us all that we soldiers are now the loneliest people on Earth.... we fight an enemy over here, and we have a country full of enemies to go home to that are our countrymen. We watched President Bush say his own political funeral, our commander and chief.. as well as ours..... He tried so hard to spin it, but... well.. there is no way to soften such a morale blow.

While you sit and Monday morning quarterback what we work so hard to do for you out here, just know that the spirit of your team is wounded..... YOU liberals, you America have done a great job of demoralizing us... Thank you.

Do us a favor though, when we do come home, spare us the ceremony....... We all now know that it is a bunch of crap, and what you think of us.......

I have to say that right now, I would rather be a pussy ass Frenchman, even though they have no will to fight, at least they have the balls to make a decision and stick with it...... They stuck to thier guns about staying out of this war, even if it was the wrong decision......America on the other hand, goes off half cocked, and when the decision appears to be a hard one, or something that might cost a little bit, they turn tail and run.....

WHAT A NATION OF PUSSIES!!!!

This week I am NOT proud to say that I am an American..........I think it is obvious why... See, we just have told the world that we are not a nation of people who are tough, and will fight for what we believe in... We have told the world that we are a giant coward that will shy away from any difficult challenge...

So, while you eat your cheetos, and sit there and watch your lazy ass get fatter, dumber and happier Joe Citizen.. Just remember this, I, and all my commrades payed a dear price to come this far and have you decide that we should fail...

Realize this, because of your action this week America.... do not expect so many men to be so willing to stand up for your next little whim just to be cut down in the middle of it all............

Realize this also.. you have just put a heavy price on the heads of us all...... Now that we are branded as cowards, we are an easy target, oh so inviting for the taking....... I swore to protect your children in your beds.... yet you fling the door wide open inspite of me to invite the scourge.... Well.... have it your way then.

Because of this, September 11th will soon be overshadowed by these same enemies.. my advice to you is get your lazy, self centered ass up and make peace with your God, and your family.. cause, time will come when they may not be there for you................Because you kicked me in the teeth, and so many others, I know I won't any more.. "

Aaron.

In my opinion, they have reason to worry. So do the Iraquis that support[ed] us.

Aaron and other brave soldiers in Iraq, Afghanistan and other sordid places. The very best of American heroes wears the military uniform. You are our heroes and we salute you. We despise the liberal traitors and other feckless cowards in our nation. They put their mouths on the line whereas you all put your lives on the line for America. You are not abandoned, forgotten or unappreciated by your true patriotic brethren here in the USA. Coward liberals have their little glory in this life but yours is for all eternity. Brave on soldier...many here still love, respect and pray for all our excellent military.

Boy, I sure am glad "conservatives" taught the GOP a "lesson".

"Conservatives" who did that are no better than Hanoi Jane Fonda.

From a post on a Dem site about our lone Rep who is a Dem from OK:

Boren, 'Blue Dogs' Consider Speaker Choice


In it, Boren and his coalition of 'Conservative House Democrats' called "Blue Dogs" plans to "discuss the House Leadership situation".

Boren says, "I'm not going to say that I'm going to vote for her", Boren said in an interview.

He said the conservative 'blue dog' coalition has 37 members and expects to add another 10..... and that thier conservative coalition may become the most powerful voting bloc of Democratic Votes.

In his first term, Boren has opposed his party more often than any other member of the House.

He said he hopes Pelosi's public comments about working with the GOP are sincere.

"Her leadership style has been one of working with the other side, and I hope she does", Boren said.


Other Dems have complained that it was the Republicans who were not willing ot reach out and that they preferred instead to muscle thier agenda through while they controlled the house.

Being a vet this strikes daggers into my heart. He's right, he was betrayed, betrayed by by their own nation. This nation is a nation of wimps and traitors, starting with John Kerry and Cindy Sheehan.

I can tell you that most of people at the base I work at (Grissom ARB) were pretty much subdued. They knew we were stabbed in the back and now we have to listen to the likes of Pelosi, Kennedy, Biden, etc. God help us.

It looks like Oklahoma has become the moral center for the body politic in this country.

Forgive the voters, for they know not what they've done. Pelosi, Dean et al cynically tricked voters by fielding conservative appearing Rats, that they know they will make dance like marionettes once they come to DC.

But we are hearing now that they are not going to cut and run, that it was just rhetoric to connect with a few loonies on the far left. Most Americans want us to stay to win, they just were voicing concern about the direction of the war, how it was being run...And their concern has been for these brave Americans fighting for us most of all. The irony to me is that my cousins voted for Dems because their 2 sons are over there in war zones...I wonder how they would feel if they read this letter, or had ever truly listened to them and known of their resolve?

We are totally behind you, brave troops. Please do not lose heart! And we WILL win this war, it seems more certain now that the Dems will work with Pres. Bush for a successful outcome as it is in their best interest, if nothing else.

I'm not sure this is for real because the last Bulgarian soldiers left in 2005..

Iraq Coalition Troops
Non-US Forces in Iraq - 23 August 2006

The size and capabilities of the Coalition forces involved in operations in Iraq has been a subject of much debate, confusion, and at times exageration. As of August 23, 2006, there were 23 non-U.S. military forces contributing armed forces to the Coalition in Iraq. These 22 countries were: Albania, Armenia, Australia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, El Salvador, Estonia, Georgia, Italy, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Moldova, Mongolia, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, South Korea, and the United Kingdom.

However, in the August 16, 2006 Iraq Weekly Status Report (Slide 27) the State Department listed 27 foreign countries as contributing troops to the Coalition in Iraq. The additional four countries were Japan, Portugal, Singapore and the Ukraine.

In addition, that Weekly Status Report listed 34 countries (including the US) as maintaining personnel in Iraq (as part of the Coalition, UNAMI, or NATO). The State Department reported that Fiji was contributing troops though UNAMI and that Hungary, Iceland, Slovenia, and Turkey were assisting with the NATO training mission. However, it is unclear whether Hungary actually maintained any forces in Iraq as part of NATO or UNAMI since its government announced the complete withdrawal of troops in December 2004.

In testimony before the Senate Armed Services committee on August 3, 2006, Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld described the coalition in Iraq as composed of 34 allies (plus the US).

As of June 13, 2006, MNF-I reported that 27 countries (including the US) maintained responsibility over the six major areas of Iraq. Since that time, Japan has withdrawn all of its forces from Iraq.

For the purposes of this tally, only countries that contribute troops as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom are counted.

Countries which had troops in or supported operations in Iraq at one point but have pulled out since: Nicaragua (Feb. 2004); Spain (late-Apr. 2004); Dominican Republic (early-May 2004); Honduras (late-May 2004); Philippines (~Jul. 19, 2004); Thailand (late-Aug. 2004); New Zealand (late Sep. 2004); Tonga (mid-Dec. 2004) Portugal (mid-Feb. 2005); The Netherlands (Mar. 2005); Hungary (Mar. 2005); Singapore (Mar. 2005); Norway (Oct. 2005); Ukraine (Dec. 2005); Japan (July 17, 2006);

Countries planning to withdraw from Iraq: Poland has claimed that it will withdraw all soldiers by the end of 2006. Italy has said that it will withdraw all soldiers by December 2006.

Countries which have recently reduced or are planning to reduce their troop commitment: South Korea is planning to withdraw up to 1000 soldiers by the end of 2006. Poland withdrew 700 soldiers in Feb. 2005. Between May 2005 and May 2006, the United Kingdom reduced the size of its contingent by 1,300.

Countries supporting UNAMI: Fiji (150); Georgia (550)

This is over the top. It's one thing to say that the Americans who voted for Democrats are mistaken (they are). But cursing them as pussies shows a lack of respect for one's fellow countrymen. Anti-Americanism is never justified, regardless of where on the political spectrum the America-trasher stands.

The Democrats won because:

1.) They ran candidates who masqueraded as moderates. The Democratic Party was careful to avoid revealing too much about their true beliefs. There was very little Howard Dean/Cindy Shaheen rhetoric coming from Democrats this year. Those who did spew it were defeated. While the elections were a significant defeat for Republicans, it wasn't an endorsement of liberalism.

2.) The Washington, D.C. Republican establishment was inept and overcomplascent. From increasing domestic spending to supporting open borders to supporting candidates who engaged in scandalous behavior, they haven't governed conservatively. They merely campaigned solely on the basis of not being the Democrats. They never gave the Americans a reason to vote for them, just against the opposition. This year, it wasn't enough.

3.) A very large number of Americans support the war and laud Bush's committmentment to national security, but oppose the way the war was conducted. Not enough troops used in the early phases. When Saddam's government first fell, there was not enough effort to consolidate the victory. Why, for example, weren't the borders sealed? That might have stopped a lot of the violence, as most of the so-called insurgents are actually foreign terrorists, not native Iraqis. And there are other examples, as well. The war is a just cause, but it could have been carried out better.

Rusty Humphries should tell the complaining soldier to put that in his pipe and smoke it. Whoever wrote that rant is not very well-informed.

At the federal level it is. At the statewide level Republicans got clobbered but we ran the worst candidates this time. We kept the House for only the 3rd time in history and tied the OK for the first time ever.

Our Congressional delegation is I think one of the best and conservative to the core including our lone Dem who is more conservative than some Republicans. The Dems are now complaining on a chat board that his Dad Senator David Boren now President Boren of OU gave us Clarence Thomas. I cannot quit laughing as they tell both Borens to go join the Repubicans.
