So, You Say You Support the
Troops?
The
al Quaida network and the enemies of the United States
(as well as their willing dupes in the American news
media) are working overtime, trying to turn the Iraqi and
American people against our brave and dedicated soldiers
serving in Iraq.
This psychological warfare is specifically designed to
paint all of our honorable men and women in uniform as
cowardly murderers in much the same way that John Kerry
did during Vietnam.
And now that the news media has turned public opinion
against our political leaders, phase two of the terrorist
strategy is to turn the people of the U.S. and the world
against our military heroes themselves - by making
allegations that our troops are routinely “murdering
innocent civilians.”
This is where we find out who really supports the troops
and who is paying them lip service while stabbing them in
the back.
What is most revealing is that those who do not agree
with our mission in Iraq (news reporters and editors
included) laughingly say they support the troops but not
the war.
Yet, any time there is doubt about the actions of our
servicemen and women in the field, they eagerly give the
benefit of that doubt to America’s enemies and then
go into a frenzy to paint our own troops as guilty of
heinous war crimes.
They also aid and abet the terrorists who depend on this
type of media propaganda in their strategy to demonize
the U.S. and portray every isolated “incident”
as an example of how our troops are murderous thugs and
are only in Iraq to torture and kill innocent Muslims.
Accusations against our military men and women, like the
ones now being alleged in Haditha, are just that,
accusations.
And, just as we should question the credibility of those
who make a criminal accusation in a courtroom, we should
also take into account the credibility and motives of
those who are trying to wage psychological warfare
against our troops and our mission.
It’s quite obvious that there is a concerted effort
by some American politicians and members of the news
media to turn the mission in Iraq into “another
Vietnam,” complete with allegations of atrocities
and a mantra that “we can’t win in Iraq.”
But Iraq is not Vietnam.
Our men and women are voluntarily risking their lives to
secure that nation from a terrorist network that
admittedly targets civilians and has long planned to
weave dissent here at home to erode our strength and
effectiveness.
We know for sure that this is the strategy of our
enemies. They have openly bragged about it as early as
Saddam’s Hussein’s prediction before the
invasion, when he said, “Iraq will be this president’s
Vietnam.”
We expect this kind of spin from our enemies, but to hear
the same propaganda coming from U.S. Senators,
Congressmen and so-called news editors only perpetuates
the terrorist propaganda against our own government and
our own troops. One thing for sure.
Disgraceful and damaging conduct like this certainly
shines the spotlight on exactly who is supporting our
troops … and who is not.
