Deadly Arrogance Led By Incompetence

The Strata-Sphere

Lots of meetings today, but I have to post a comment regarding the war in Iraq and the arrogant ignorance being displayed in Washington DC and NY City. With the exception of George Bush, who has been an amazingly successful and good President (look at his list of accomplishments and compare it to any other modern President) Congress and the media has to be the worst group of people to be in those positions in our entire history. This is no Continental Congress braving all sorts of political and deadly consequences to create a brave new world. No, this is a bunch of egotistical, waffling, finger pointers who voted support for Iraq and have had no staying power to see it through.

And the media is much, much worse than that. They don’t report, they echo. They are amazingly arrogant about things they could not do themselves. And they are obsessed with image, not essence.

These two nadir’s of American culture have combined to create a deadly feedback loop with al-Qaeda. Al-Qaeda kills because every massacre makes the Congress and Media quake and piss their pants. Al-Qaeda has been taught, like Pavlov’s dog, that violence does not bring retribution and destruction upon those inflicting the violence - it gains them political and media capitol. The more people (out for personal political gain) question Iraq and blame Bush for OUR efforts there (yes, Iraq is OUR challenge, not Bush’s) the more al-Qaeda kills. Look at that massacre of a village by a massive truck bomb in Iraq over the weekend. It was meant for one thing and one thing only. It was meant to be picked up by the media to show to Congress so they wilt and run away from Iraq.

These so called leaders of Congress and these talking-head-enablers of theirs in the media have broken the rule of national security. There is a reason politics must end at our borders. It is so cruel killers like the Islamo Fascists of al-Qaeda do not use massacres to exploit American differences. But this crop of disasters are so arrogant they felt their self-seen omnipotence makes them so much better than the generations who came before and learned the lesson of standing by each other through thick or thin. The exploiters have come to power to gain, not to lead.

The Congress and the media will have a lot of blood on their hands as al-Qaeda does what they trained them to do - kill for attention. And it will be hundreds and thousands of Iraqis who will be doing the dying for attention. Iraqis WE voted to liberate - and to protect as we did so. It is no shock a half-assed Congress has done a half-assed job in Iraq and are ready for the half-assed retreat. This is the worst Congress this country has ever had to endure.
