Every “war” the United States has participated in since WWII has been political as well as unconstitutional. Our Presidents have committed our military without Congress declaring war as specified in the Constitution. If the President would have asked for a Declaration of War those “wars” would have been countrywide wars instead each was Republican or Democratic war. A non-binding resolution of support by our congress is nowhere to be found in our Constitution. Luckily we were able to get out of each of those debacles until Iraq. Except for those unfortunate enough to have died or been maimed for life.
We cannot win in Iraq for many reasons among them is the moral of the military, for which we are the blame. One of the soldiers upon his return said no one wants to be the last one to die for a mistake. You cannot win if you are not willing to die. Until we are ready to kill hundreds just to kill one we cannot win. As General Giap of North Viet Nam, until we are willing to lose ten of ours to kill one of theirs we cannot win. Military leaders such as Tommy Franks should have been run out of the service instead of being allowed to retire. He conspired with Rumsfeld to develop a battle plan that was a joke. The enemy should never be allowed to be in strength at your back. We send convoys on roads not secured and wonder why our people our killed. Franks put his men and women into a trap and then he left. He is an embarrassment to the history of great leaders in our history.
We accomplished what we wanted to accomplish when we destroyed the government in Afghanistan, a country giving refuge to those who attacked us, and installed a puppet President who previously resided within our borders.
We have accomplished what we wanted to accomplish in Iraq. We invaded a sovereign country; disbanded their army and police forces; removed the legal government; imprisoned the administration; turned their President over to his political enemies; and then watched while he was executed in a manner not tolerated within the United States. We are not the world’s police and have no legal right to do what we did in Iraq or any other country no matter how despotic their leaders.
Iraq never was a threat to the United States anymore than any other country in the Middle East as well as South America as well as the Far East. We picked on the one we thought we could beat and made a major error in judgment.
During our Revolutionary War we proved a small band of untrained badly organized group of patriots with the sometimes assistance of our enemies’ enemy could defeat the greatest army in the world. Similar to what is happening in Iraq.
With almost the entire world being against us George has more to worry about than Iraq. He could very well be the focus of a War Crimes Trial. He may not be taken into custody but look for the Middle East countries to ask the World Court for such a judgment and for that request to be granted. Then things should really get interesting.
By not understanding the religious mind of the area we have created a monster from which we may never extricate ourselves. They are not crazy and they have an agenda. They could kill our president, poison our waters, kill anyone anytime. But they do not. We have finally run up against an enemy who wants us out of their countries and hemisphere. Not unlike our not wanting them in our country or in our hemisphere.
We are on our own. We can no longer count on God’s help since we have expelled him. We just might be the Northern Tribes being carried off by the Assyrians.
The last “war” we won was a war where civilian leaders did not mini manage the military. Until our military is allowed to do what they believe right we cannot win. With a country such as we are today the outcome of WWII might well have been quite different than it was and we just might be speaking German today. A country without morals is a country without laws and is no use to anyone.
