American Soldiers vs. Corporation Nation

What You Tolerate Will Dominate
U.S. DOCUMENTS SHOW EMBRACE OF SADDAM HUSSEIN IN EARLY 1980s DESPITE CHEMICAL WEAPONS, EXTERNAL AGGRESSION, HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES
Fear of Iraq Collapse in Iran-Iraq War Motivated Reagan Administration Support; U.S. Goals Were Access to Oil, Projection of Power, and Protection of Allies; Rumsfeld Failed to Raise Chemical Weapons Issue in Personal Meeting with Saddam when renewing ties, providing intelligence and aid to ensure Iraq would not be defeated by Iran, when he went as a high-level presidential envoy to shake hands with Saddam (20 December 1983)
The U.S. soldiers have been praying earnestly in secret on the front lines of battle that God Almighty would preserve them from destruction, root out out the evil doers in the various theaters of war, and clean house back home in government to bring about sound leadership to execute a proper exit strategy whereby they can eventually return to be with their families.
Their prayers have not gone unheard. Justice, truth, and mercy shall prevail. Judgment shall occur on every side, as “there are no righteous; no not one” (Romans 3:10). Self-righteousness is the downfall of a “hypocritical nation” (Isaiah 10:6). War profiteers too will not escape the judgment of God. Like Enron they too will be exposed and brought to the light.
The love of money is still the root of all evil. When innocent blood is continually and perpetually shed for personal financial gain, you can count on backlash and repercussions. “Whoso sheds man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made He man” (Genesis 9:6).
Is it any surprise that Muslim militants hate America across the world when they know about the mixed-motives behind the war in Iraq? Perhaps this explains why American contract workers compounds have been bombed in Saudi Arabia. By no means do I condone killing on either side. Yet we must be objective and fair when examining the motives behind killings on both sides of the globe.
Not all Muslims are bad people. Many are sincere and loving individuals. Perhaps you should watch the movie Monsier Ibrahim to gain a heart for others in the world for whom Christ died. For those of you who think America is the express representative of Jesus Himself, you might benefit from watching the movie Syriana and some of the short videos mentioned below. That is if you really care to know more than your Corporation Nation tells you by way of their media.
If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play. Joseph Goebbels (German political leader and minister of propaganda 1897-1945)
Most of the energy of political work is devoted to correcting the effects of mismanagement of government. Governments never learn. Only people learn. The power to do good is also the power to do harm. Milton Friedman (Renown Economist)
Seven U.S. Generals have called for Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld to resign. Gulf War Veterans are also against him. Economist Magazine, BBC News, CNN, the NY Times, and Think Progress among others have all covered this supplying me with ample information.
Maj. Gen. Charles H. Swannack Jr., who led troops on the ground in Iraq as recently as 2004 as the commander of the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division, on Thursday became the fifth retired senior general in recent days to call publicly for Mr. Rumsfeld’s ouster. Also Thursday, another retired Army general, Maj. Gen. John Riggs, joined in the fray.
“We need to continue to fight the global war on terror and keep it off our shores,” General Swannack said in a telephone interview. “But I do not believe Secretary Rumsfeld is the right person to fight that war based on his absolute failures in managing the war against Saddam in Iraq.”
CNN is reporting that a fifth retired general is calling for Rumsfeld’s resignation.
“I really believe that we need a new secretary of defense because Secretary Rumsfeld carries way too much baggage with him. Specifically, I feel he has micromanaged the generals who are leading our forces there,” said retired Maj. Gen. Charles Swannack, former commander of the 82nd Airborne Division.
Actually, this may be the sixth general. Generals Newbold, Eaton, Zinni, and Batiste have gained prominent attention in calling for Rumsfeld’s resignation. But another less-noticed general, Ret. Army Gen. John Riggs, told the Washington Post recently:
[Riggs] believes that his peer group is “a pretty closemouthed bunch” but that, even so, his sense is “everyone pretty much thinks Rumsfeld and the bunch around him should be cleared out.”
The 7th General to add to the list is General Wesley Clarke who told an audience in New Hampshire that he would fire Rumsfled on September 26, 2003. Gen. Wesley Clark, told a New Hampshire audience Friday night he had only fired one person in his life. On Saturday he said he wanted to fire a second person: Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.
When asked at a house party on the Seacoast about what he would do in Iraq if elected president today, he was met with applause when he said, “First of all I would change the Secretary of Defense. Then I would go to the commanders of the ground and go to Iraq myself personally and I would develop an exit strategy that gives us a success and lets us downsize our commitment there.”
Just some final quotes to consider.
Politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed. Mao Zedong (Marxist Leader who established the Soviet Republic of China
Government, like clocks, go from the motion men give them; and as governments are made and moved by men, so by them they are ruined too. Let the people think they govern and they will be governed. William Penn (Founder of Pennsylvania)
It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world. George Washington (Founding Father & 1st President of the United States)
Facism should more accurately be named corporatism, since it is the merger of state and corporate power. The best blood will at some time get into a fool or a mosquito. Benito Mussolini (Repressive Fascist Dictator of Italy 1922-1943)
Republicans are for both the man and the dollar, but in case of conflict the man before the dollar. Abraham Lincoln (Civil War President that Unified the Nation)
The nation which reposes on the pillow of political confidence, will sooner or later end its political existence in a deadly lethargy. James Madison (President and referred to by many as “The Father of the Constitution.” His opposition to northern financiers led to the formation of the Republican, or Jeffersonian, Party.)
Pray for our nation! We need God’s wisdom like never before!
