Downright Insane

Here’s a guest column from true American: Charlie Daniels: enjoy!   Downright Insane   If you found a nest of rattlesnakes in the back yard under your childrens swing set would you just kill half of them and let the rest live? If you found an unexploded stick of dynamite in your dresser drawer would you just put a couple of pairs of socks over it and let it stay there? If you found a loaded gun in your baby's toy box would you take half the bullets out of it and put it back?   Sounds downright insane doesn't it? Well that¹s just about how much sense as the cease-fire in Lebanon makes.   No matter what you read in the New York Times or see on CNN about the war in Lebanon being a victory for the Arab community, you better know that if Hezbollah didn't have their backs to the wall they would never have agreed to a cease-fire. If they had had the slightest chance to win the war they never would have stopped fighting for any reason.   They are committed to the destruction of Israel and the only reason they agreed to stop fighting in Lebanon is to lick their wounds and rearm. International pressure means nothing to them, the deaths of innocent Lebanese citizens means nothing to them.   This is a strategic move pure and simple. About the first thing Israel did was cut off their supply lines and now they'll be open again. More rockets, more long-range missiles and more munitions can be moved into the area and there is no way that a handful of troops are going to prevent it.   The world has pressured Israel to stop fighting just when they started making some real headway. Now they are soon going to face the same enemy again, freshly rearmed and ready to take another shot at destroying them.   America and Israel would be better off if somebody would take a giant bull dozer and push the United Nations building into the East River, revoke the diplomatic visas of the delegates and just call the whole thing a bad international experiment.   First of all, there is nothing united about the United Nations except their united dislike if not hate for America and Israel and still we host this impotent organization and foot most of the bills.   Don't get me wrong, I want peace as much as anybody but letting a deadly enemy off the hook is not the way to achieve it. This is not over by a long shot. It will begin again soon. You can bet on it and when it does it will likely expand this time and very possibly include Syria and Iran. And when that happens you can look for the Middle East to explode.   Does anybody in their right mind actually think that the Lebanese army has the will or the ability to force Hezbollah out of Lebanon?   Does anybody actually believe that this is anything but a lull in the battle, a temporary halt to what will continue until the last page of human history is written?   I guess we're going to find out, aren't we?   Pray for our troops and pray for the peace of Jerusalem   What do you think?   God Bless America   Charlie Daniels August 18, 2006

Thanks for the support Uncle Sam...
If we do not learn from the past we are bound to relive the same mistakes. We have all heard a variation on that theme before. But here we are watching deja vu all over again. It has been a disgrace to watch how our military has been handicapped in Iraq. We ask our brave men and women in the armed forces to be willing to lay down their lives in protecting our country and our way of life. Yes, a job that requires one to be willing to make the ultimate sacrifice. They should get nothing less that 100% support from our government and the people of this country who they are willing to die for (that includes all the traders at CNN). But we are seeing a very different picture with effort in Iraq. The so called Haditha massacre is case in point. Our Marines are being tried in the media for cold blooded murder before all the facts are in and they had their turn to defend themselves. Worst of all our politicians including our President have come out saying that any guilty parties in this event will be punished. How about giving them the benefit of the doubt and say, “I will not comment until we know all the facts”! Where’s the support and belief in our well trained soldiers?! A dog handler who served twelve and a half years in the Marines was found guilty of charges based upon the fact that he let his guard dog bark in the face of an terrorist prisoner at Abu Ghraib. For being “mean” to this terrorist this Marine may be locked up for three and a half years behind bars. Thanks for the support Uncle Sam! A country should never go to war if it is not willing to do what has to be done to win at any cost. In WW2 we dropped two A-bombs on Japan and truly massacred countless innocent lives. That was total commitment to win against the enemy at any cost when it was called for. And yes, we changed the world into a better place and changed an enemy into an eventual ally. I truly hate to say it but our military strategy in Iraq looks allot more like what we where doing in Vietnam then what we did in Japan. If the Marines in Haditha did really lose it and kill innocent men, women, and children, it was because of the frustration that they have to deal with daily being hung out to dry by their own government. They should not be held accountable but it’s our government officials as well as the higher ups in the pentagon that should be found culpable for sending our soldiers in to Iraq to be killed without the ability to ever truly defeat the enemy. And yes, we have heard of all the wonderful positive humanitarian things our troops have done for the Iraqi people but we are dealing with a very different mindset when dealing with the middle eastern Islamic. I have no doubt that if al Qaeda set off a nuke in New York City or Washington DC and killed Millions of innocent Americans, that very day the Iraqi men, women, and children would be dancing in the streets and singing praise to Allah. It seems that there is no one in our government that truly understands the mindset of these people. We can never be nice enough to them to make them our friends. For now, stop the madness and bring our troops home. Will our effort in Iraq be viewed a failure? Of course, but it will only become a bigger failure the longer we stay. Bring the boys home and start training highly specialized hit squads to covertly go in to enemy countries (and that includes Pakistan) without permission or notice to these countries and lets start bumping off the leadership of al Qaeda including Osama bin Laden.

Why the borders will never be closed
Topic: Borders
I’m not only a talk show host but a fan as well. You may hear some talk show hosts claim that they never listen to other talk shows but that’s a lie. They all listen to the competition, it’s truly an obsession.
I listen to a lot of talk shows and the hot topic has been immigration of course and my fellow conservative hosts have been in lock step about the need to close our border with Mexico. I agree, as most thinking Americans do. I’m not worried about people coming here to pick fruits and vegetables or mop floors. I’m concerned with the Islamics sending terrorists or nuclear weapons into our country. It may be closing the barn door after the horse got out but it should be done. I say should but it won’t be done until a catastrophic strike happens on US soil. Why? One word: Drugs! Our government has been complicit with the free flow of illegal drugs in our country. It’s been going on for years and they have no intention to stop it now. Most of the illegal drugs that come into this country come across the Mexican border. The sales of illegal drugs is the biggest money making business in this country bar none. Our elected officials will not truly close the border because such action will slow the free flow of illegal drugs into our nation. So, the reason why they want the “open” borders is for the free flow of drugs. 1. They want a drugged up nation that doesn’t care about what they are going in DC. 2. There’s soooo much money involved they are all getting their pockets lined with the stuff. 3. If they don’t play ball with the powerful and ruthless drug cartels they will be a target, politically or with a barrel of a gun. Say, who else will lay down the brutal truth about this?! So all the bluster we hear from our politicians about securing our borders is a bunch of bull and they know it. They’re simply telling us what we want to hear to get our vote. More business as usual. But folks remember it is better to deal with the truth then to play make believe.
