ANTIWAR HYPOCRITES NO MORE 'BRING THE TROOPS HOME' by Ralph Peters
AM I the only one who's noticed the silence? Mere months ago, left-wing bloggers and demonstrators were wailing Support our troops, bring them home! seven days a week.
Now their presidential candidate has announced that he won't bring all those troops home, but will simply transfer combat forces from Iraq to Afghanistan - expanding that war. (He's discussed possibly invading Pakistan, too.)
And the left's quiet as a graveyard at midnight.
Where are the outraged protests from MoveOn or the DailyKos? I thought the extreme left felt sorry for our service members in harm's way and wanted to reunite them with their families.
What happened?

The current fad is to march lockstep with Obama.
I had to think about this one a sec. Hypocrisy is most commonly defined as “do as I say, not as I do”. You could classify it that way I guess.
Really it’s more “I don’t like it because it wasn’t my (collectively “our”) idea” which I’m sure has a different distinction entirely but I’m blank on the buzzword at present.
Their issue is much less about whatever fighting our forces are doing to defend freedom and liberty as they are about fundamentally destroying the liberties of this republic and what they are based upon.
That is what they are really about and their actions line up perfectly with it.
I think we SHOULD consolidate our troops. Theran is the most logical place. That will allow us to clean up Carter’s mess quite effectively.
Buzzwords?
Obama strategy: “Wet fingers up to test the breeze.”
McCain strategy: “March to the sound of the guns.”
Well, from what I gather reading the comments at the DUmp, they think he’s just saying that to win, and they’re ok with that.
Katrina van den Heuvel (editor of The Nation) said in an interview on CNN that the reason the left wasn’t getting more excited about recent positions Obama has taken was that he had made commitments, in writing, to them that once he was elected he would support them and that he was just doing this now for electioneering.

...carry pro-Palestinian war banners.
...carry 'I Support The Insurgency' banners.
...have never once protested Al-Qaida's warcimes.
...have never once protested Iran's sabre rattling.
As a SO CALLED peace movement:
...they have publicly demanded the murder of our President and the death of our troops...
This is not a peace movement. It is an anti-American and anti-Israel protest movement led by Communists. Communists were also behind the Vietnam war protests (Jane Fonda was decidedly FOR North Vietnamese Communist victory and said we'd all want to live under Communism if we knew what it was). Communists in America also protested efforts to go to war against Hitler while Stalin had a pact with him.
Socialists lie. There was nothing PEACEFUL about Bill Ayers' Weather Underground.
On a few website bulletin boards, I have used the term PEACE NAZI to describe the peace movement in general, and one person asked me for an explanation as to what the term means and why I say it. Here is my answer:
It is intentionally derogatory, and I use it because I believe it has to be said.
It has to do with the foundation of the PEACE movement in the US and abroad and their Communist foundation, and how the majority of the signs held and slogans chanted are not about peace or genuine concern for the people of two warring countries, it is about the anti-American attitudes and the violence-inducing signs and slogans calling for violence against American Troops and President Bush.
Carrying signs calling on troops to kill their officers, to bomb Texas, for Bush to choke on a pretzel and die, for troops to shoot their officers, signs that call for communist revolution, starting fights with people who disagree with you while carrying a peace sign, trying to steal my money in Boston while carrying a peace sign and then telling me because you were shamed into giving back the money that means you are ok after all...
Things like that.
I will NOT stop using it. It is intended to make the peace protestor think.
After all the horrors we found in Iraq, you should all be thankful we went in and invaded to remove that madman. Yet, the mantra has changed, it is now against occupation and most recently a call for early withdrawl without any victory!
Repeatedly, information comes out of Iraq proving the terrorist connections of Saddam Hussein and Al-Qaeda.
Still, not one PEACE NAZI has apologized and admitted we were right. All they did is complain that a people that were under slavery for 30 years were looting after Saddam was overthrown, and who do they blame? Why the US!! We did nothing to stop it! Maybe because we stayed out of the crowd because the PEACE NAZIS would have complained we didn’t let them vent their anger??
(As a side note, people who are now called PEACE NAZIS didn’t call on the LAPD or Federal Troops to stop the LA riots after the Rodney King riots, did they? They told us all to step back and let them vent their anger, yet all of a sudden, we were supposed to go in and use force to stop rioters in Iraq?)
And to top it off, we are flushing out the terrorists in places like Fallujah, the places where the Murderous Mullahs all take refuge, and the PEACE NAZIS have not ONCE held a rally to decry the beheadings of Americans or Iraqi CARE workers! Not one PEACE NAZI rally held to call for justice for the Killers of Daniel Pearl or any foreigner killed in Iraq!
We never intended to occupy a country like SYRIA had the last 20 years, and where were the PEACE NAZIS and their signs calling on SYRIA to leave Lebanon? They are non existent. The Syrians killed tens of thousands, chasing little children into bedrooms and shooting them point blank.
Did you know there was a Christian Community in Beirut before 1985? Now, they are almost either all killed or fled from the Syrian backed Junta, and not a peep from the PEACE NAZIS, only against American forces sent to Beirut to keep peace. Why aren’t the PEACE NAZIS arguing for the return of the Christian Community back to Beirut where they lived for 2 Millennium?
Where were the PEACE NAZIS when Israel was blockaded in 1967?
Where were the PEACE NAZIS when Israel was attacked on her Holy Day of Yom Kippur in 1973?
Where were the PEACE NAZIS when the PLO was shelling Katyusha rockets into Israel in 1982?
Oh, Yeah, I remember, they were telling Israel to stop defending themselves!
In fact, there is not a single country that we ever went to war with that we stayed as the governing power for more than 10 years! We always returned it to the people.
And that brings up another point: PEACE NAZIS are NOT against war, they are against wars that the US is engaged in to overthrow pro-Communist or PRO-radical Islamic regimes or PRO-Maoist/PRO-Stalinist regimes.
My point here, is simple: These COMMIES are not for peace. If they were, they would have been screaming about Clinton killing innocents to keep his sexual scandals off the tv;
they would have been screaming for the Palestinian Liberation Organization to stop killing Jews;
they would have been screaming for Hamas and Islamic Jihad to stop killing Jews;
they would have been screaming for the Hutus and Tutsis to make peace;
they would have been screaming for that madman Saddam to stop killing Kurds or Iranians;
they would have been screaming for the Turks to stop killing Kurds or Greeks;
they would have been screaming for the Chinese to stop killing Vietnamese in 1982;
they would have been screaming for the Angolan Army to stop killing with the help of the Cuban Army in the 1980’s;
they would have been screaming for the Muslims to stop killing and beheading school age children and other Christians in Indonesia, Malaysia, and China and North Korea;
They would have been screaming for the Sudanese to stop the torture and slave trade which continues today in Darfur;
They would have been screaming when the Syrians invaded Lebanon in 1985 and have continued an occupation of Lebanon since the 1980’s;
They would have been screaming when Pol Pot started a genocide in 1975;
They would be screaming now about Mugabe killing all the white farmers in Africa in Zimbabwe;
They would have been screaming at the murders caused by the African National Congress and their necklacing of prisoners and at Winnie Mandela who was convicted of murder, yet the communists are silent;
They would have been screaming about Tiananmen Square, but they are silent;
They would have been screaming about the repression in Cuba and why so many people have chosen to flee in rickety little boats, but instead they lionize that dictator, Castro;
They would have been screaming about the invasion of South Vietnam in 1975 where the north started a genocide campaign in direct violation of the Paris Peace Accords of 1973 and caused over 2 million Vietnamese to flee in little boats that got picked up by ships like the one I was on in 1981;
They would be screaming at the Palestinians for their suicide bombings that intentionally target innocent school age children;
They would be screaming at the Palestinians for their suicide bombings that intentionally target innocent people on buses, or pizza parlors, or weddings, or wheel-chair bound invalids on cruise ships, or Olympic hotels;
They would have been screaming at the rioters in France, except Peace-Nazis do not scream when Muslims kill people or destroy things.
Except, the only time they scream is when the US is at war against a tyrant who is support by Russia or France.
In much of the world, the antics and policies of these PEACE NAZIS would result in jail – or worse. Cuba, China and many socialist countries routinely eliminate protests – and protesters – against the government and its leaders. It seems ironic that the ultimate goal of these protesters is to transform America into the kind of government that tolerates no dissent.
And since NAZI is one of the most vile insults you can give someone in our last two generations, I call them PEACE NAZIS, for they are not for peace, they are for war, they are for the overthrow of my country and into communism and anarchy, and they are a violent bunch who base their foundation on lies and the telling of lies and the repeating of lies.
Ralph Peters Bump!
The messiah is sadly lacking in many areas but especially in foreign affairs and militarily.
Evaluation of the June 28-29, 2008 National Assembly to End the Iraq War and Occupation By Jerry Gordon, Marilyn Levin and Jeff Mackler Members of the Administrative Committee of the Assembly’s 50-Member Coordinating Committee
SNIP
3. Added Afghanistan to the name of the Assembly because the U.S. is fighting two unjust, illegal and brutal wars simultaneously and both must be opposed. We are now the National Assembly to End the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars and Occupations.
The usual suspects were at the conference: UFPJ, ANSWER, SDS, Troops Out Now, Cindy Sheehan, Appeal for Redress, Lynne Stewart, etc.
Good point.
That's always been the hallmark of the coffee-house revolutionary as well as the keyboard commando and the armchair general. Obama has a plethora of all three working his case.
One of the best indicators of how the troops (remember them?) actually perceive this is twofold: their reception of the policitian in person and the recruiting numbers. During this "unpopular" war both have indicated stellar support for the "unpopular" Bush.
It's tough to hide. I was in the Navy when Jimmy Carter came along with all the qualifications the Left thinks important in a candidate: some sort of military checkbox filled to fool the troglodytes and behavior as if he were the UN's little plush toy. I saw what happened. We don't need that again. Nor do we need this:
Have you stopped to wonder if BHO might not be your LBJ?
If he is there'll need to be another Nixon, another Bush behind him to clean up the mess and be reviled for it. And so the cycle continues, and so it will until somebody on the Left quits living in a storyline-driven fantasy world and starts smelling the blood of the real victims and not their imaginary ones. Pigs will fly first.
Fair enough. They are Stalinists through and through and even Saddam Hussein was a fan of Joseph Stalin.
Stalin killed millions more than the NAZIs ever did.
And yet the Stalinists in America want us to give it a try over here.
The media is one of the largest hypocrites involved with Afghanistan rhetoric. Why have none of them mentioned that NATO nor Karzi have asked for over 20,000 troops? The US really can’t send in troops willy nilly.
