Soldiers’ Voices - Listen to what the armed forces have to say about Iraq

Operation Arrowhead Ripper, as the latest American offensive is called, has successfully swept into al Qaeda-infested Baquba, the capital of Diyala Province northeast of Baghdad, killing and capturing hundreds of terrorists. The battles in Iraq and Afghanistan time and time again have resulted in significant, but often untold military successes. Realities on the ground often go unnoticed or under-appreciated.

The American soldier has often lacked a voice to articulate his mission and his successes amidst the cacophony of defeat in Congress and public opinion polls.

I invited warriors to weigh in with their perspectives, interviewing hundreds of soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines, many on the battlefields of Iraq. Together, their interviews constitute much of War Crimes: The Left’s Campaign to Destroy the Military and Lose the War on Terror. And the picture they paint of their fellow citizens at home is anything but rosy.

“We are at war, Representative Murtha, and your actions and conduct give aid and comfort to our enemies…You have dishonored all of those who have fought and died up to the day you stood on the floor of the House of Representatives and demanded that we withdraw immediately. Representative Murtha, you have given aid and comfort to our enemies in a time of war. You have given them hope, which they have fast been losing, due to all of the victories and sacrifice by our sons and daughters on the field of battle in Iraq and Afghanistan. You have been honored by our enemies on the front page of Al Jazeera. . . ” —Lieutenant Colonel Christopher Stark, U.S. Army

Very good man

Excellent article

>>We daily see the gross distortions. We can’t recognize the caricatures they [the media] scratch out, neither in our fellow soldiers, nor on the battleground. I know they claim to be objective but really they’re nothing more than accomplices in the face of this evil.” —First Sergeant Jeff Nuding, U.S. Army<<

Bumping, blessing our troops and damning the enablers of our enemies...

As far as reports from our illustrious (cough) “Main Stream Media” (spit) on the war in Iraq, it appears that no news is good news.

Nancy Pelousy: “Lallalala, I can’t hear you, I can’t hear you.”

Harry Reid: “These soldiers are obviously not telling the truth and they obviously don’t know what’s going on there as well as I do. They’re not patriotic. Real patriotism is trying to lose the war.”

Dissemination ping.

May G-d bless and protect these brave men and women who are risking their very lives while half the nation they are protecting snipes at and attacks them.

The Democrats and peaceniks should be ashamed of themselves, but of course, they have no shame. I hope this will be remembered the next time they beat their breasts about "compassion" and "the children!"
