MSNBC: Against Iraq War.
There's a surprise here?
He sure is!
Ain't it great?
But being against the “Iraq” War doesn’t mean any lack of patriotism or republicanism. It also doesn’t mean that we are against a war, or against going after our enemies, being actually at war with them.
We are FOR WAR against those who attacked and those who are now planning to attack the United States of America. Some of them were or are in Iraq, so Iraq is not immune from seeing operations inside its borders. We are also not opposed to taking out national leaders, even heads of state, in the war against terrorist enemies.
But we believe Congress should declare war as per the Constitution, even if it is against an enemy not having the name of a specific country.
That war should have definitely been declared by Congress, UNANIMOUSLY, in 2001, and the first resources should have gone into an intelligence apparatus the like of which has never been seen.
The intelligence should have been expected to take some months, but with such accuracy and SECRECY (CNN completely in the dark) that Bin Laden would have been on the tip of a smart bomb while thinking he was in hiding. But there would have been nothing wrong, either, with turning the Afghan-Pakistani border into deep dry lake if necessary to get Bin Laden and his buddies.
The News Media should have been treated as if we were on a war footing and in combat territory on U.S. soil. The enemy should never be able to use CNN, FOX, MSNBC or any network to calculate the planning and execution of the war (which they have).
AFTER PROPER DETAILED AND TOP SECRET (MEDIA SILENT)INTELLIGENCE our strategic and tactical forces in bombers, missiles and fighters, along with special forces units, should have been used as if we were at war with one specific nation, and expecting civilian casualties. This in a variety of nations at the same time.
We should have been bombing and obliterating hundreds of 25 square mile plots in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and this year every time reasonably good intelligence (electronic and human) indicated ANY training facilities or terrorist activities in Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, Suadi Arabia, Egypt, or anywhere else in that region (or even in Mindanao, Philippines and Indonesia).
All nations should have been getting the DAILY message that the United States is at war, and any nation who allows Enemies of the United States to operate on their soil is subject to seeing military operations on its soil without prior notice, including the incineration of large tracts of land and properties if necessary.
And we should never have had to ask the UNO for anything! NOTHING!!
War should have disrupted a sufficient amount of international banking that no terrorist organization could put their hands on any money. This even if it required some sacrifice from the commerce community in the United States. WE ARE AT WAR !! IF WE ARE AT WAR, LET'S GO TO WAR! Let's quit calling it the "Iraq" war. And let's t not settle their civil war. I'm for letting the Sunis kill the Shiites, and visa-versa, frankly, as long as they do it on Iraqi (or Muslim)soil. If they can't come to their own senses, we will never bring them to their senses. They will only hate us more, and continue to kill each other and blame it on us. IF WE ARE AT WAR, LET'S GO TO WAR! My hat is off to both Ron Paul and Chuck Baldwin.
