Democrats; Demonizing the Military

Yesterday, General David Patreaus was on Capital Hill to brief government officials and members of congress about the current situation in Iraq. But if you were watching the main stream media you might not have even learned that he was in Washington D.C. Why was such a significant news event unreported? I submit to you that many members of the media and house democrats didn't want you to know, I submit to you that the main stream media and the democrats in congress are embarked on a disinformation campaign designed to demonize the military. They seem to be following the Vietnam template to set conditions that may well see the day when our returning Iraq Veterans return to a United States that does not appreciate their efforts, worse, that they step off the plane only to be spat upon by the self righteous anti war surrender monkeys.

As the military dutifully executes it's duty in Iraq, trudging forward, quelling violence block by block, attempting to create the conditions of stability that will permit diplomats the opportunity to find a political solution, there is an insidious effort, ongoing. A subtle propaganda campaign by democrats and members of the media, and our troops are their target. Democrats are fond of telling America that even General Patreaus himself states that the military cannot resolve the situation. This is true, but the democrats fail to add that the military is a vital component of the whole equation. Meanwhile, the media elite and democrats continue to slap our military in the face and undermine the faith most Americans feel toward the military and members of the military. Naively believing that they will eventually be given a fair shake in the media our military bravely meets the enemy, sacrificing life and limb for an increasingly ambivalent nation and an unsupportive congress.

Slowly but surely, the leadership of the surrender monkey party (Democrats), bang on the anti war bongo drum, subtly undermining the military. Anti military bomb throwers in the media and house democrats describe unfortunate breaches of high moral standards maintained by military members, not as the aberrations they are, but as the norm. They paint insignificant setbacks as shocking defeats. Statements made by insignificant Iraqi tribal members as representative of the Iraqi population. What passes for journalism when it comes to reporting on the war is simply irresponsible, inaccurate one sided propaganda.

The inane rantings of Cindy Sheehan, Rosie O'Donnell, Bill Mahr, John Murtha and Nancy Pelosi just to name a few begin to gain traction through sheer repetitiveness. And gradually, those who have always hated the military feel emboldened and crawl out from under the rocks they live under. And slowly, the nation gets accustomed to seeing their hateful and disgusting antics; they get used to seeing their repugnant message.

General Patreaus briefed members of congress yesterday but guess who was not in attendance? None other than the Shrieker of the House Pelosi, and the alpha surrender monkey John Murtha. How can this be seen as anything other than a clear and public rebuff of the General? He travels all this way and is publicly, symbolically slapped in the face by Murtha and Pelosi? Are you telling me that neither of them could make the appropriate adjustment to their schedules so as to allow them to attend this very important briefing? My friends, Pelosi and Murtha aren't interested in hearing good news about our efforts in Iraq. Their minds are made up; we lost. Which is exactly the perception they are trying to create.

Over the last few days the media have stumbled all over Jessica Lynch and the Tillman family appearing before members of the congress, you can almost picture various TV news anchors drooling over the prospect of what would be said in those meetings. But where was the coverage of General Patreaus' visit to Capital Hill? Well, his visit doesn't meet the prerequisites of the media's agenda which is to present news in a carefully crafted way to undermine men like General Patreaus and the men and women he leads.

The Democratically controlled Congress of the United States approved an emergency war funding bill yesterday that contains congressionally mandated time lines for troop withdrawal despite many promises by the president to veto it. The democrats seem to be hell bent on buying part ownership of the war in Iraq, resulting in them sharing the blame line with the president. Not a terribly astute move politically. But nobody has accused the Democrats of ever being politically astute. In the unlikely event that President Bush signs the bill, Democrats will be partly responsible for the consequences of the war and directly responsible for what happens if we leave prematurely, which is a subject that Democrats avoid considering like the black plague. For now, the Democrats will be satisfied if they can destroy the good reputation of our military.

What is the most frustrating thing about recent events is that the Democratic strategy is patently obvious, but the media steadfastly refuses to report it. The Democrat agenda is to stop victory in Iraq at any cost. To demonize the military. Deny President Bush any chance to claim even a modicum of success in Iraq and this is all for one prime objective. To land a Democrat in the Oval Office in January of 2009.

It amazes me that the Democrats are being taken seriously. Have any Democrats discussed what happens after we withdraw? Surely America understands the kind of total chaos that will rule the streets of Baghdad, of the high probability of very serious regional warfare? Of the likelihood that terrorists, freed from the task of meeting our troops in Iraq, will follow the troops home and begin operations inside our own borders? Does America understand that? I sometimes wonder.

Democrats are guilty of skewing the facts of Iraq. Omission of pertinent facts in describing events. Twisting other people's words, the embellishment of negative incidents as well as out and out lying to America. This is all because they must have defeat, after all, they are heavily invested in our defeat. The Democrats have painted themselves into a corner through their history of publicly saying irresponsible and stupid things about the subject. Ignoring our successes and playing up our missteps or setbacks, it is blatantly obvious which way they want the tide to turn in Iraq. They are on the side of the terrorists, they are allied with the enemy. Let there be NO doubt about that, it isn't even debatable.

I want to be understood. I don't think that the Army is perfect. Obviously, the Pentagon has mishandled some issues and given the Army a black eye, that kind of thing happens, even accidentally. The Pat Tillman issue is just sad all the way around. I do not defend the conduct of the Pentagon with regard to the Pat Tillman issue, but try and remember this. Could it be that the Army made it's decision based on compassion for the Tillman family? I don't blame the Tillman family for being bitterly angry with the Army. But lets keep it in perspective , the troops in Iraq, and Afghanistan by in large adhere to the high moral and ethical standards that have always been the basic tenants of Soldierly conduct.

In closing I ask you to ponder this. Will the Democrats be happy when they ultimately destroy the image of the military? The last remaining federal organization to enjoy the respect of the American people? Who will they attack after that? Look at the evidence, they have gone after the tobacco industry, automobile manufacturers, fast food, energy, Wal-Mart, the wealthy, anywhere they can extract money for their precious social welfare state, because control of that welfare state is the ultimate power and modern day slavery. They would blackmail their own grandparents if they thought they could get away with it. If the American public's complacency remains, the Democrats might be able to usher in a new era in government. For all of the disinformation that we all know is contained in the Democratic message, it is folly to trust them. And we do so at our own collective peril. The warning signs are ominous and the stakes could not be higher.

If the Democrats are willing to sully the reputation of the United States Military, they are willing to stop at nothing in their naked pursuit of perpetual power.
