Pat Boone on the war side of the divide

I remember my mom telling me years ago how she liked Pat Boone's music but she did not like him as a person. I can understand why she said that after reading this article he wrote.

First let me say WorldNetDaily puts out some of the craziest crap people write. They try so hard to pimp the war for their king. I'm always shaking my head when I read things on there. Doesn't surprise me they let Pat Boone put an article on their site.

How many times do we have to go over this? When you know you've done something bad, something wrong you try to make it right. We were wrong by going into Iraq. The only reason we are there is so the oil companies could make their record profits. We're not there to liberate the people. We knew they didn't have weapons of mass destruction. Saddam was our friend before we decided we wanted his oil. Any smart person with half a mind can put the pieces to the puzzle together and see how we are the bully in the playground and we're going to take what ever we want. If we don't get what we want then we'll just kick your ass and take it anyway.

I'm so tired of people using religion to get what they want. Religion is killing us all and it gives God a bad name.

Surely you heard Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid announce sorrowfully in a press conference for all the world to see and hear, "… this war is lost." Just like that. Story ended. We're defeated; we can't win. Our enemies are too much for us, and we've got to tuck our tails between our legs and come home fast as we can. We're grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we are in their sight. This pronouncement contradicting the assessments of our own Caleb, Gen. Patraeus, and our other military leaders on the ground in Iraq, who are telling us that we can win, that over 3,000 young Americans have not died in a failed mission, that though a violent segment of Iraqis are indeed "devouring their own inhabitants," America and its allies are gradually securing the land for freedom and self-government. Harry Reid, Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, John Murtha, Cindy Sheehan and the other dissenters to the contrary, our Calebs and Joshuas are assuring us that American might and purpose will prevail! If we have the will. If we don't turn and run.

Mr. Pat Boone, don't you realize that your King has fired all the military leaders that don't agree with him. Many have told him the invasion (King Georges war) can never be won. If they don't agree with the king they are asked to leave.

No one can answer what they call winning. Is it when we've killed all the people and taken all the oil? Is that winning? What is the end game? When do you know we have won? When no one will join our military because they know they will be used at tools? What do you call winning? No one has ever answered this for me.

And if we still believe there is a mighty God who has historically taken an interest in America and our conflicts, and who has given us victory over all opponents when we were united in resolve and purpose. And most importantly, perhaps, when we openly and collectively declared our dependence on Him and sought His aid, not depending solely on our own judgment and abilities. Do you realize that, in our whole history, America has never been defeated – when we were united under God?

Using God to defend being a bully in the playground. God does not want us going around the world killing his people. These people on the other side of the divide really make me sick.

That's not claiming, presumptuously, that we've always been perfectly right in our various purposes and tactics – far from it – but by God's grace, when we have pulled together, supported our fighting forces with everything in us, praying publicly and believing God would grant us victory over our enemies, He has!

When we've been divided, we've lost. Not often, but history tells the truth: A house divided against itself cannot stand.

How do you think we got so divided? By doing the wrong thing. If we were doing the right thing then everyone in this country would be together as one. But sadly we aren't working together as one doing good for all men. We're not only divided here in this country but divided with the world, with the people whom we live with. We have lost our world respect having Pat Boone's King George in office.

At this moment in time, we are a house divided. Our president, our commander in chief, our military, and still a large percentage of the populace and our elected representatives believe in the urgency and rightness of our military presence in the Middle East. We're not just fighting to liberate another nation and establish democratic government in that part of the world; we're also serving notice to our demonically ruthless sworn enemies that we will not tolerate their coming into our midst to kill and demoralize us. Rather, we'll come looking for them, and we'll bring a superior force and face them in their own part of the world – not in our homeland.

Kill them there so they don't kill us us here. But we are killing ourselves here and the other side of the divide just doesn't get it living in their fear...
Our actions have reactions. Why do you think people want to hurt us? Because things we have done in the past. Stop doing these things and people won't want to come kill you. Keep doing these things and these people will teach their children to kill us too.

And though it's been unexpectedly difficult and costly, our troops – still the strongest and best equipped in the world – appear to believe overwhelmingly that we're accomplishing our goal, and want to finish the job, no matter what it costs.

To them, and many Americans, defeat and surrender is just not an option.

Over 75% of them want to come home. Their families want them home. Our military does not want to be in Iraq and have said that several times. Just like the people who still support their king- 23%, are just like the 23% who in the military who want to kill people and stay in Iraq. Most of them know what we are doing there is wrong and want to come home. When they do come home we don't take care of them. Most of our homeless living on the streets are vets.

But how do you think our enemies received Harry Reid's pronouncement?

I think they received it with shouts of glee, triumph and renewed purpose. I think it inspired them with new resolve to kill as many innocent Iraqis as possible and as many patrolling American soldiers as possible – and both as quickly as possible. After all, by Reid's own announcement and the urgings of Kennedy, Pelosi, et al., our own congressional leaders are admitting defeat and urging surrender. We're grasshoppers in our own eyes, therefore in the eyes of our enemies too!

If we did leave Iraq today the "terroriest" wouldn't have a place to train their kids to hate us. We would start healing needed to over come the damage done by us. But I keep saying this....for years now. It makes me sick to know I live with people like this. People who want to rule the world and its wealth.

Ya know, Mom always told me Pat Boone was an idiot. He proved that to me today by writting this article. There will be no peace with people like this controlling us on the other side of the divide, doing all their killing.

May PEACE be inside ALL of us,
Cindy
