The thoughts of the chairman - FloridaBrit's Blog!

The only story you are hearing about is the ANTI-war side by the media, and that includes Fox35!! Heidi Hatch reports deaths in Iraq like it's a surprise. IT'S A WAR...unfortunately soldiers and civilians will die!! You always see the death, the destruction and the mayhem from the media. Why don't they send some of their "reporters" over and let them report some of the GOOD things were doing there? Things such as helping the economy to recover, building schools? Do you realize that even the Iraqi people are individually fighting the militants? Bet you didn't. Rush Limbaugh has had Soldiers, Enlisted & Officers call in to his show from Iraq and they are disgusted BECAUSE the media doesn't tell both side of the story! If you want to see some of what's going on in todays military...go to a site like "www.military.com" . How do YOU know the surge is not working? Are you or Have you been there? Because that is what you are told by the media? Oh, one other thing we succedded in doing, we REMOVED a man that killed over 300,000 of his own citizens! The LEFT is who is damning this war AND THE SOLDIERS that are fighting it!! If we had reacted to Germany the way the LEFT want us to react to Iraq, we would ALL be speaking German now!! And if your wondering where I get MY info, read my profile, I spent 12 years in the U.S. Army and was in Desert Storm.
God Bless Our Troops, And God Bless America!!!

Is Heidi Hatch making up these names that she is reporting? If not, aren't those names just as important as those members of the military that are killed during the few times of peace that we have had? If the truth hurts, maybe efforts should be made to change it.

You mentioned that we removed a man that killed over 300,000 of his own citizens. How about the man that was responsible for killing many of OURS? Where's Bin Laden and why didn't we go after him instead of our government quickly transporting his family to safety immediately after the 9/11 event? There was both quick action and thinking, just not what it should have been. You mentioned Hitler. Did our government make every effort to make his family safe and comfortable before attempts were made to kill him?

Thanks for you service, but being there does not make you an expert on the political and economic reasoning of the "war." It is uncomfortable hearing things that conflict with your orientation/indoctrination, but you might want to do some reading of reputable authors instead of relying on Rush or any of the mainstream media. They are all part of the problem. BTW, check the military records of Rush or any of these other media people and find out if they ever spent a day in combat.

I have no doubt that American troops will be in Iraq for years to come. But it will be to protect Corporate interests, not the people of Iraq. Some corporations have their own military/security units, but as you know it is expensive and better if the taxpayers pick up the tab. New Orleans taught the oil c

P.S. Research is a wonderful tool. Do not rely on Wikapedia. You can edit the pages. Why would I rely on a source where someone else edited the page to fit thier belief or agenda?

Great comments, Bloggers!

Rush is a swine.

I agree Spectre. I think the days of us being the worlds "Policeman" should come to an end. There are things we need to do to ensure a withdrawl from Iraq. The 1st, and this is the most important thing that the Iraqis are not getting, is they need to be more Self-Supportive! Once we feel this is happening, THEn and ONLY then can we begin to discuss a withdrawl. One of the biggest shortcomings we have in this is the LACK of support from other countries. The U.S. has been there when countries have disasters in many forms such as monetary. Wheather they agree with us or not, they must realize that this war is like a cancer. They (the radical Islamists)will try to take over countries 1 by 1 as they smile in our faces. They don't seem to realize that THEY may be next. An example is Iran wanting Nuclear "POWER" plants for it's people! WHAT?? They are sitting on millions of gallons of crude oil!!! That isn't enough?? But, when all is said and done, let us remember those who have abandoned us in OUR time of need and let another country help them in theirs!!

Tim, I don't want us to be the "World Police" either, but if it's in the interest of US/Western national security, then like it or not, we must act decisively. This IS a World War and the sooner we understand this the better -- OFFENSE is the only tactic that can defeat our enemies. We need to remind ourselves [daily] that there are enemies within and abroad that strive only to KILL Americans!

I hate it when I get cut off.

Who cares about the French? Who cares about the Russians or the Chinese, the North Koreans and the English? The United States was attacked and I'm still angry about it. I think about it all the time. I think about the hardship on our troops and their families. I think about the men and women like Timh111 who's been there and seen it. I remember 9/11. I remember the president speaking out. I remember when he said "You're either with us or against us". Why are we NOT making war? Why are we NOT being brutal? Why are we NOT showing our enemies what it is to declare war on the United States? Why are we sitting on our hands? This Iraq war should have been over a long time ago. But it's still going on because our military is NOT being ALLOWED to do what it has been trained to do. I think this is the mistake our political leaders make. With all the political in-fighting, our enemies see our greatest weakness. And it's not our military. Our greatest weakness is our elected leaders who will not unite behind our president.

One thing that Americans should never forget; Our enemies breed hate like cancer. And like cancer, it must be removed to save the body. To save us. To save our future.

OH and PS--yes our guys are dying there too...
