All day I've heard bit's and pieces, then watched a few more bit's and pieces on the various news shows this evening. Gen. Casey was being grilled by the Senate Armed Services Committee...a group I 'blogged' about recently. In a nutshell, what I saw was a blame game pointing the finger routine of Washington politicians. It's everyone else's fault but theirs.
WRONG! It's the Politican's fault we have wars. It is the failure of politics that cause armies to clash. It is the failure of politics and politicans that cause nations to collaspe...not the military.
It was not the fault of the 'military' of the outcome to Iraq today. It was the politicians who beat the war drums, who stood before the Houses of Congress, who stood before the U.N., who stood before the lights of the clueless and non-factual based but always biased media.
It was the politicans who failed in their jobs that caused this mess in Iraq today.
It is the failure of politicans to just get completey out of the way of the Generals and Admirals and let them fight the wars as they see fit.
No Senators...it was not the General's fault, nor any military members fault. It is YOUR fault for the mess we are in today. I wish more than anything to write some very curse words but the monitor system will stirke them from here.
The biggest blame is the obvious but for some cowardly reason, is never said in the media on in Washington. It is Bill Clinton and his Adminstrations fault for the whole debacle. For the bad intelligence, for a lacking military. It was 'his' people at the helm during the whole building phase of Saddam's empire post The Gulf War. It was Clinton's people in charge of the Intelligence agencies, it was Clinton's appointees destroying our military via a social programs fiasco.
Don't none of you poltiicans blame the military for any failure. They are the ones beimg maimed and dying on the battlefields for YOUR failures.
War does not come from the military, it comes from the failure of politicans to prevent war.
I just read a nugget about Pelosi and the military...next blog and more 'fodder' and reason as to why Americans need to Save Our Military from our Politicans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
