  Lest We Forget

 

The main problem in all our hearts should not be oil or taxes, or who’s going to be our next president.


We MUST NEVER FORGET our military. Some day each week in Iraq and Afghanistan. Over 4,000 have died in a war about oil.


That’s so far.


Washington, ALL of Washington, refuses to bring our troops home.


HOW MANY MORE HAVE TO DIE?


It’s strange, the only two gentlemen running for office both don’t seem to be focusing on bringing the troops home. The Republican running wants MORE troops and WIN THE WAR. Not a peep as to the cost in our sons and daughters who will DIE.


The Democrats announced a year and a half to bring the troops home, but they don’t tell we, the people, HOW MANY MORE OF OUR TROOPS WILL DIE.


WHY???


They know what we, the people, want.


GET THE HELL OUT!


NOT ONE MORE SOLDIER HAS TO DIE!!!


START TOMORROW!!!


You bastards in charge, how can you knowingly watch the 4,000 figure grow with more dead bodies. Our young heroes have no say, but we, the people do!


We cannot get wrapped up in elections, open borders, millions of aliens here in our country. These and more problems must take a back seat to our men and women DYING for no cause!!! And they are told maybe a year and a half you could be coming home.


Here’s a practical solution:


Boldly announce the time and date, starting today, that our troops will leave Iraq and Afghanistan.


On those dates, we fill the skies with super fast fighter planes and large bombers, telling the enemy anyone firing upon our troops leaving will not only have those firing killed under a rain of bombs, in fact bombs with a 25 mile radius. If rockets or any kind of weapons are fired from towns or cities, they will be flattened the same day.


Oh, some of you think not. Well, think about the 4,000 of our troops who died. In their hearts, they were told to believe, they would die for freedom’s sake, and actually, the majority of we, the people, believe it really is about oil.


When this is over, hopefully, those responsible for sacrificing the lives of our troops will be brought to justice.


The whole world, including the USA has NOTHING TO GAIN warring with people who have been at war themselves for 6,000 years.


We must ALWAYS KEEP THE LIVES OF OUR TROOPS NUMBER ONE in our thoughts and our hearts here in the USA.


What is ONE SOLDIER’S LIFE WORTH? We cannot, in good conscience, name a dollar figure. Those men and women are ours to always love and respect. There is NO cash figure for the lives of our dead heroes.


Every day, our televisions scream the news and every day, nothing on how many were killed today.


The TV news media is not the culprit on keeping the body bag count from we, the people, it’s Washington, forgetting from time to time, that the lives of our troops are our number one concern.


Speaking of Washington... Iraq has 90 billion, YES 90 BILLION DOLLARS in a bank here in the USA, while Washington releases billions every month to rebuild Iraq.


Think about that - isn’t it criminal to spend our tax dollars on a country with the world’s third largest oil reserves???


Again, this should all be brought to justice soon, perhaps the day after the Democrats take over in January 2009.


Today, we are bombarded with such heavy news that is destroying our country. Nevertheless, the lives of our troops are more important.


The idea is to speed up the process of bringing home the troops.


Not only in Iraq and Afghanistan, but around the world. We have troops stationed in perhaps 50 or more countries. There are those in Washington who may be trying to rule the world with the huge corporations behind them.


What is open for all to see, placing so many troops in so many countries is plain as the nose on your face. There are those in high positions selling the USA to be part of a global government run by the United Nations with its own army and taxation.

God Bless America
Land that I love,
Stand beside her and guide her
Thru the night with the light from above;
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans white with foam,
God Bless America,
My home, sweet home,
God Bless America,
My home sweet home.

Again, WE MUST always have the lives of our troops as number one in our hearts and minds.


Less we forget our troops will be stationed around the world in a hundred countries, FOR WHAT, FOR WHOM, AND WHY?


Our country needs, today, for all the troops overseas to come home. WHY? Because the USA, at home, is in a precarious position WHILE WASHINGTON SLEEPS!
