Jerry Bader referenced an interested WSJ editorial this morning underscoring the dangers of a premature retreat from Iraq. In the past, I’ve been mostly on the fence as to whether we were warranted in going to war in Iraq. However, I also feel that none of those reasons matter anymore. What’s done is done, and now we need to finish the job. Keep in mind I have no loved ones stationed in the Middle East at this time, however, I think losing and/or retreating from this conflict could cause great damage to the well-being of our country as a whole. I don’t claim to know much about the logistics of the war, but I do hope we can reach a resolution sooner than later while minimizing further deaths of our soldiers.
Before voting for Kerry, I strongly suggest you consider his involvement in the VVAW, an organization largely funded by communist Jane Fonda. This organization took joy in the physical and emotional abuse of returning U.S. soldiers from Vietnam, most of whom had little choice and didn’t even want to be their to begin with. In fact, Kerry was an organizer and key spokesman for the organization. The organization’s anti-war sentiment created fodder for the Viet Cong propaganda machine, which only served to hurt American soldiers and put their lives in danger.
“Under Kerry’s leadership, VVAW members mocked the uniform of United States soldiers by wearing tattered fatigues marked with pro-communist graffiti. They dishonored America by marching in demonstrations under the flag of the Viet Cong enemy.”
Sen. John McCain revealed that his North Vietnamese captors had used reports of Kerry-led protests to taunt him and his fellow prisoners. Retired General George S. Patton III angrily noted that Kerry’s actions had “given aid and comfort to the enemy.” Source: NewsMax.com
