This is my first post on Iraq. This is the last time you will see War in Iraq written on my blog. This is because we are involved in a battle in Iraq. The War is against TERROR and the Countries that Support Terror. Iraq was one of those countries. I'm not going to sit here and try to convince you of this. If you are so blind as not to see this, no one will be able to make you open your eyes.
I am not going to make excuses as to why it is taking so long to stabilize the country. We are at war. Have mistakes been made. Of course they have. Our military is made up of human beings. Human beings make mistakes. I think the biggest mistake is to allow politics to play such a major role in any war. Ever since we stopped allowing our military leaders to control the wars we fight, our track record in battle has not been so good. The leaders of our military are in the position they are in because they are the best we have. LET THEM WORK.
We are not just fighting Iraqi insurgents in Iraq. Iran and Syria are supplying fresh troops to the area. We are finding weapons supplied by Iran. we are in a battle with fanatics, who do not care to die. There religion teaches them to hate us. There leaders will make any sacrifice to destroy our way of life. This war will be a long one no matter how long we are in Iraq. If we pull out, it will only embolden the enemy. They will perceive this to mean our country is weak. I do not believe the USA is weak, even if our elected leaders are.
Either way we go in the war, Americans are going to get killed by terrorist. If we stay there we are sure to lose more soldiers. If we pull out, we are faced with attacks on our homeland. It will be innocent civilians getting killed here instead of in Iraq.
I hope the people elected to lead our country open their eyes soon. Let our military do their jobs. There is not a doubt in my mind that every American would like to see this war end. Unfortunately, we can not end it on our own. Until the people we are fighting decide to stop, we are forced to fight back. If we come home they are going to follow us here. (It's not that hard to enter our country)
