Once upon a time in recent history, a President of the United States started a war in Eastern Europe. The President claimed he sent our nation to war in Eastern Europe to liberate a people from a dictator.
Naturally, the American media stood behind this President and applauded his efforts. The American President claimed the US military and their coalition friends in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) would find mass graves of people killed by the dictator. This came to be called ethnic cleansing.
Well, no mass graves were found in the American President’s war just as no WMD’s have been found today in Iraq. Yet, this same American President was never called a liar by the American media when the mass graves failed to surface. Never did those on the political left cry foul when this same President spent billions of our tax dollars on that war.
In fact, this same American President awarded Halliburton, Dick Cheney’s former company, a no-bid contract to rebuild the nation the President helped destroy. Once again, Halliburton was awarded a “no-bid” contract. This means no other company in the world ever had a chance to win that contract except Halliburton.
I bet you never heard the American media cry foul over this American President’s no-bid contract to Halliburton.
The European War was an unprecedented event in American History. It was only the second time in history that the American military and their military allies in NATO, acted as aggressors, not defenders of freedom. The first time the American military and NATO acted as aggressors, not defenders of liberty, was when ordered to war in Bosnia by this same American President.
All told, this same American President involved our nation in this European War without even a shred of evidence that doing so was in our national interest. Yet, there was no outcry on behalf of the media, nor the political left. Never once did we see protests against this American President’s wartime actions.
Some of the failures of the American President’s efforts in the Eastern European war include:
-The bombing and destruction of a pedestrian bridge.
-The bombing and destruction of a residential neighborhood.
-The bombing and destruction of a telephone exchange office.
-The bombing and destruction of a passenger train.
-The bombing and destruction of numerous civilian vehicles.
-The bombing and destruction of a tobacco factory.
-The bombing and destruction of a TV station.
-The bombing and destruction of another residential neighborhood.
-The bombing and destruction of a passenger bus with riders inside.
-The bombing and destruction of a transformer substation causing a major blackout.
-The bombing and destruction of a hospital with patients and hospital staff inside.
By far the most hideous blunder of all, the American President’s coalition bombed and destroyed the Chinese embassy in Serbia, killing all the people within the building. All told, the American President’s war took the lives of more than 2,000 innocent people.
Each of these atrocities occurred within the first month of the American President’s war. Who was the American President? It was none other than William Jefferson Clinton.
Clinton’s Serbian War saw no outcry from the peace activists. There were no human rights activists crying over the loss of life. Michael Moore didn’t create a propaganda film about Mr. Clinton and his ties to Halliburton. The left-wing conspiracy theorists never claimed Mr. Clinton was a traitor. MoveOn.org didn’t compare Bill Clinton to Adolph Hitler.
On 9/11/01, it was Al Qaeda that attacked our nation. Since Saddam Hussein was giving aid and shelter to members of Al Qaeda, including Bin Laden’s own son, it only makes sense to remove this dictator. After all, Saddam Hussein was also giving money to radical Islamic terrorists so they could continue their murderous efforts.
As it stands today, G.W. Bush’s Iraq war has liberated 25 million Iraqi’s from a brutal dictator, broken up the Al Qaeda network in the Middle East and brought more than 60% of the Al Qaeda leadership to justice. Not a bad military record when you think about it.
As the son of Italian immigrants - whose parent's lives were literally saved by the U.S. Army, during WW II, I applaud Mr. Bush for his vision, courage and determination. President Bush knows the best way to protect America from terrorists is to destroy their efforts before they attack, not wait for them to attack and then respond, which is precisely what John Kerry has stated he would do.
By the way, when the U.S. Army liberated my parents from the Nazi occupation of their village in 1943, Franklin Roosevelt (FDR), a Democrat, was President. If FDR had been a Republican, I wonder if the media would still remember him as a great wartime President?
