On the way in convey to Kuwait, a soldier yells out to the camera..."We're going back. We won! We won!" Get beyond the Priceline commercial and watch the video. He sounded like a conquering hero and, indeed, they are heroes. They conquered their survival but little else was achieved for 7 years of lives about 4500 live lost and 32,000 brave men and women injured...too many irreparably.
As I hear it from military speakers, many of these combat troops, possibly after some respite, will be sent to Afghanistan where our purpose for being there is as unclear as it was in Iraq. It is believed that there are more Al-Qaeda in Iraq now than there are in Afghanistan. That was not true when we sent our troops there in 2003. It is also clear that the war should no longer be a military war but a war such as we have never fought before. The atomic bomb was new in its day.Our robot planes and their deadliness are new military tools for our new times.
The insidiousness of the hold on our country by the propaganda servers is terrifying as it will cost us the United States as represented by our current Constitution, currently under grave threat. It is sad to believe that so many who are adored by their public are set to ruin the country in their mistaken pursuit of 'bringing down' Obama along with the Republican politicians who have refused to pass anything that will improve our country and the economy significantly in the near future.
So what will be next? Will the Republican perpetrators of the lies they have spewed for the past more than 12 years be allowed to dupe the gullible American public, the 50% below average in so many areas? Will anyone be able to stop the evil which has infiltrated our society. Will we ever find the hold Osama bin Laden has on the puppets who don't realize their destruction of our society. Will I live long enough to see some of the world with which I grew up, its values, its freedom from the excessive greed and lack of integrity we are enduring daily in many of the people we should have been able to expecrt tpo trust from their words and their positions?
