All Present And Accounted For.
Vol. 4 Issue 11
History
is probably one of the only things we cannot
deny. For those of us
who are old enough to remember what we
learned in school, why do some
on the Left refute it today? Why are they
trying to rewrite history?
Perhaps, it is because they are so caught up
listening to the Main Street
Media or liberal commentators on TV and
Radio, who spout their opinions as
though they are historical facts without
regard to the truth.
During the second year of the Iraq war,
[which I will call the battlefield
because the war is much larger than Iraq. We
are fighting terrorism all over
the world, not just Iraq and Afghanistan] I
heard a left wing commentator
on the radio agreeing with a caller who
asked, “How come it is always a
Republican President who has taken us to
war?”
History will show us that the only
Republicans who ever went to war in the
last 100-years were George H. Bush during
Desert Storm, and that was
after our ally in the middle east (Kuwait)
was invaded by Iraq and George
W. Bush in Iraq and Afghanistan after we
were attacked on American soil.
It was President Wilson, a Democrat, who led
us into World War One.
Germany did not attack us in 1914. Nor did
they attack us during WW II
when President Roosevelt took us to war
against Germany once more. The
war in the Pacific against Japan was
justified after we were attacked at Pearl
Harbor. American casualties were as follows:
406,000 killed 600,000
wounded.
It was Harry Truman who took us into
Korea. Although, we fought under
the U.N. flag over 33,000 American troops
died during the conflict. Korea
did not attack America.
Two Democratic Presidents John Kennedy
and Lyndon Johnson were
responsible for over 58,000 Americans dying
in the jungles and rice paddies
of Viet Nam. Kennedy took us to war and
Johnson escalated it. It was
Republican, Richard Nixon who ended the
conflict. We went to war in
Vietnam not because we were attacked, but
the fear of communism
spreading across the Far East and into
Europe.
If my memory serves me correctly it was
President Bill Clinton who led the
charge into Bosnia and Kosovo all under the
direction of the U.N.
So the question remains, during any of these
conflicts, was the United
States attacked?
Need I say anything about the next
conflict except 9/11?
So here is my question to President Obama.
Why are you still voting
“Present?” During your campaign, we learned
that while you were in the
Illinois State Senate you voted present
nearly 130 times.
Is that what you are doing now with the
war against terrorism, [excuse me,
I mean “Man Made Disasters”] in Afghanistan.
Are you voting present,
because you honestly cannot make a decision,
or is the reason that you
don’t want to be another Democratic
President that escalated or took us to
war.
America did not elect a President who
cannot make a decision. Maybe I
have that wrong. You have made a decision
about Afghanistan. Not
making a decision is a decision not to make
one.
Just in case you haven’t noticed, Mr.
President, while you are
procrastinating 19 Americans died in
Afghanistan since September 25. Did
they die because they did not have the
support that General McChrystal
asked for? How many more Americans fighting
for our freedom have to die
while you sit on your hands? General
McChrystal is the man that you
appointed because you said, he is a strong
leader and can get the job done,
but you won’t give him the resources to do
his job.
Even the NATO Commanders have sided with
General McChrystal. Where
are you, back out on the golf course?
You chastised President George Bush for
playing too much golf and for
being out of the country much of the time.
However, your record shows
that you played more rounds of golf in the
first nine months of your
Presidency than President Bush played in
almost the first three years he
was in office. If you can’t take the heat
Mr. President then get out of the
kitchen.
Maybe instead of putting around you
should concentrate on what is
happening to this great nation under your
leadership. You are flushing it
down the drain.
So the next time the troop’s line up for
roll call, they will be all present and
accounted for, except for the Commander In
Chief.
And that is my opinion,
Michael Solomon If you want to
help restore sanity to America, join the
Flag Day campaign.
