J.D. Pendry is a retired Army Command Sergeant Major who writes for Random House. He writes:
Jimmy Carter, you're the father of the Islamic Nazi movement. You threw the Shah under the bus, welcomed the Ayatollah home, and then lacked the spine to confront the terrorists when they took our embassy and our people hostage. You're the runner-in-chief.
Bill Clinton, you played ring around the Lewinsky while the terrorists were at war with us. You got us into a fight with them in Somalia, and then you ran from it. Your weak-willed responses to the U.S.S. Cole and the first Trade Center Bombing and our Embassy bombings emboldened the killers Each time you failed to respond adequately they grew bolder, until 9/11.
John Kerry, dishonesty is your most prominent attribute. You lied about American Soldiers in Vietnam. Your military service, like your life, is more fiction than fact. You've accused our soldiers of terrorizing women and children in Iraq . You called Iraq the wrong war, wrong place, wrong time, the same words you used to describe Vietnam. You're a fake. You want to run from Iraq and abandon the Iraqis to murderers just as you did the Vietnamese. Iraq, like Vietnam is another war that you were for, before you were against it.
John Murtha, you said our military was broken. You said we can't win militarily in Iraq. You accused United States Marines of cold-blooded murder without proof and said we should redeploy to Okinawa. Okinawa, John? And the Democrats call you their military expert. Are you sure you didn't suffer a traumatic brain injury while you were off building your war hero resume? You're a sad, pitiable, corrupt and washed-up politician. You're not a Marine, sir. You wouldn't amount to a good pimple on a real Marine's butt. You're a phony and a disgrace. Run away John.
Dick Durbin, you accused our soldiers at Guantanamo of being Nazis, tenders of Soviet style gulags and as bad as the regime of Pol Pot, who murdered two million of his own people after your party abandoned South East Asia to the Communists. Now you want to abandon the Iraqis to the same fate. History was not a good teacher for you, was it? Lord help us!! See Dick run.
Ted Kennedy, for days on end you held poster-sized pictures from Abu Grhaib in front of any available television camera. Al Jazeera quoted you saying that Iraqi's torture chambers were open under new management. Did you see the news this week, Teddy? The Islamic Nazis demonstrate real torture for you again. If you truly supported our troops, you'd show the world poster-sized pictures of that atrocity and demand the annihilation of it. Your legislation stripping support from the South Vietnamese led to a communist victory there. You're a bloated drunken fool bent on repeating the same historical blunder that turned freedom-seeking people over to homicidal, genocidal maniacs To paraphrase John Murtha, all while sitting on your wide, gin-soaked rear-end in Washington.
Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Carl Levine, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, Russ Feingold, Hillary Clinton, Pat Leahy, Chuck Schumer, et al ad nauseam. Every time you stand in front of television cameras and broadcast to the Islamic Nazis that we went to war because our President lied, that the war is wrong and our soldiers are torturers, that we should leave Iraq, you give the Islamic butchers - the same ones that tortured and mutilated American soldiers - cause to think that we'll run away again, and all they have to do is hang on a little longer.
American news media, the New York Times particularly: Each time you publish stories about national defense secrets and our intelligence gathering methods, you become one united, with the sub-human pieces of camel dung that torture and mutilate the bodies of American soldiers. You can't strike up the courage to publish cartoons, but you can help Al Qaeda destroy my country. Actually, you are more dangerous to us than Al Qaeda is. Think about that each time you face Mecca to admire your Pulitzer.
You are America's "AXIS OF IDIOTS." Your collective stupidity will destroy us. Self-serving politics and terrorist abetting news scoops are more important to you than our national security or the lives of innocent civilians and soldiers. It bothers you that defending ourselves gets in the way of your elitist sport of politics and your ignorant editorializing. There is as much blood on your hands as is on the hands of murdering terrorists. Don't ever doubt that. Your frolics will only serve to extend this war as they extended Vietnam. If you want our soldiers home, as you claim, knock off the crap and try supporting your country ahead of supporting your silly political aims and aiding our enemies. Yes, I'm questioning your patriotism. Your loyalty ends with self. I'm also questioning why you're stealing air that decent Americans could be breathing. You don't deserve the protection of our men and women in uniform. You need to run away from this war, this country. Leave the war to the people who have the will to see it through and the country to people who are willing to defend it.
No, Mr. President, you don't get off the hook, either. Our country has two enemies: Those who want to destroy us from the outside and those who attempt it from within. Your soldiers are dealing with the outside force. It's your obligation to support them by confronting the AXIS OF IDIOTS. America must hear it from you that these self-centered people are harming our country, abetting the enemy and endangering our safety. Well-up a little anger, please, and channel it toward the appropriate target. You must prosecute those who leak national security secrets to the media. You must prosecute those in the media who knowingly publish those secrets. Our soldiers need you to confront the enemy that they cannot. They need you to do it, now!
J.D. Pendry 2006, Ret Sgt. Major US Army
Sgt. Major Pendry I offer my humble thanks to you for putting to paper my feelings about what has been going on since 9/11/01. My anger and frustration has grown greatly over the past three years or more, especially since August 2006 when my son, nephew, and niece arrived in Iraq. As of June we also have a cousin serving there (all four with the Army). My greatest fear is that we will lose this war and the sacrifices of the soldiers who’ve given their all (and the sacrifices of the families of these heroes) will all have been for naught because of the traitors here at home. Your words bring into stark relief the reality of what we face not only in the enemy abroad, but the enemy within.
Thank you again for your service and your commentary.

LOL! Yup!
BTTT!!!
Robert sent an email to me today. He’s doing fine, but didn’t have much energy to say much more than that. I sent him some pics of his niece and nephew and other family members, and my wife will be mailing him a package on Monday. He continues to demonstrated his conviction that what he and his fellow soldiers are doing is the right thing, and that our nation must stay the course through to victory. I find it sad that a 20 year old recognizes this fact but that our elected representatives do not.
Hooah, Sar’nt.
Axis of Idiots, I love it!
bump
If the USA is indeed over, then the new historians will remember them as heros. Remember winners write the history.
ESPECIALLY the last paragraph.
W is to blame, too.
Hot damn!! Somebody finally said it!!
Those are harsh words, and all of them are deserved.
I’m glad you heard from him! He should have recently rec’d a package sent from us, as should your niece and nephew! :-) They are definitely wise beyond their years.
Sweet!!!
Sergeant Major Pendry seems to have a hit every one of the nails on the head.
If FRed 0 or any candidate - came out swinging with this this and never let go of it 0 they would be swept into the WH -
Not unless we, too, stand up and shout = too many of us sitting back on our butts waiting for everyone else to save us - it's really up to WE THE PEOPLE to get involved for crumbs sake. "We stand together - or we fall apart" mt
And what have you done? You made any noise? You written letters to the editors? You written guest editorials? You got people together for a good old noisy rally to get the media's attention?
Hope so...Patriots like the Sargeant Major need people doing more that just nodding their heads.
When is the Silent Majority going to roar over the voices of the sheehens and the other unwashed demonstrators.
How many times have we let out congresscritters know LOUDLY just how we feel and what we demand of them? And this means mostly contacting the conservatives to hopefully give them some backbone knowing we're out here. (Bothering with the lib/Rats is like getting into a pi*sing contest with a skunk - nothing is gained.)
BTTT
PING
This is a great article and more to come of our troops are pulled out of there before their mission is complete.
Unlike that Vietnam war, our troops now have a voice in these web pages and they will be heard. It isn’t just the voice of MSM that is heard but everyone else. They have no monopoly any longer.
Perhaps that is one of the reasons for their “Fairness Doctrine” has reared it’s ugly head once again. To head off and cut off what they know is coming.
Great editorial. Thanks for posting it
Thanks for the ping
