I heard the news via radio yesterday about the Democrat(ic) 'victory with help of some Republicrats. A non-binding vote against a sitting President, who hasn't lied to the American people, who hasn't committed a crime, but is doing his 'best' at his job of protecting the American people. A non-binding vote that sent a clear message to the enemy of freedom - the Islamo-fascist movement - that America's politicians do not have courage.
The vote on this war, which more innocent than guilty have died, is a victory for the guilty and a loss for the innocent. No one likes to see death or experience death in any of it's morbid means.
This morning, my little dog died in my hands from an enlarged heart that gave out. She gave me twelve years of love and devotion, unequivocally. It hurts deep inside.
I can't imagine though, how the people of Iraq feel when they have lost their loved ones to the terrorist that the vote gave a victory to.
I can't imagine though, how the American families feel that have lost their loved ones over there in Iraq and Afghanistan to the terrorist that the vote gave a victory to.
I know how I feel about my dog, but I know also I gave her every chance, every last thing the vets could do for her, to give her a chance to live. But she died on her own terms, free and at home.
We have Special Forces that carry motto's: So other's may live, To free the oppressed, and others. Our entire history of the United States is full of motto's and sayings that emphasize freedom and fight for freedom against opperssors.
The House motto should now read: We turn our backs when it gets tough.
If we give up, we 'retreat', because 'redeploying' that is being used is being used very incorrectly by all, the enemy will advance. When an enemy advances, especially those of oppressive natures, the historically kill everyone who hasn't fought on their side.
I am glad that my conscience about a vote will not lead to that inevitable conclusion of another slaughter of innocents and the pain of death to any survivors.
This war must be fought by every means available and more, and most importantly,the solid backing of it's efforts and especially true support of the troops.
