How would American Soldiers be captured in the ‘triangle of death’ in Iraq?
It’s something to think about. We need to seriously think about it. It’s a microcosm of why the Battle of Iraq is not further along. It’s also a microcosm of the social revolution going on in our country right now.
Our military is far superior to any other in the world at this time. Yet, after all this time, they are still vulnerable in a country that has been the current battleground in the Global War on Terror for a few years now.
It is my belief that it is because the military has it’s hands tied by political wrangling.
When Marines are in SHACKLES and MAXIMUM SECURITY PRISON because some Iraqi said they MIGHT have shot a guy who MAY OR MAY NOT have been a combatant, I would think it would cause a little pause on the part of our Soldiers.
When a UNITED STATES CONGRESSMAN will announce to the INTERNATIONAL PRESS that Marines killed innocents ‘in cold blood’, and those Marines are identified and put under public scrutiny and have to hire attorneys and their CHARACTER IS QUESTIONED IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE WORLD, I would think it would cause our Soldiers pause.
When the press hops on these stories and expresses more outrage at the white gloved, pampered treatment of PRISONERS OF WAR at Gitmo than at the treatment of OUR OWN SOLDIERS AND MARINES at the hands of our enemy AND at the hands of those who try to APPEASE OUR OWN MEDIA, I would think it would cause the Soldiers pause.
When the UNITED STATES MEDIA puts more value on some pampered spoiled celebrity who has contributed NOTHING to the world and whose only claim to fame is being born wealthy and running around exposing herself then they do to a true hero who wins a Navy Cross or Metal of Honor by showing a willingness to sacrifice his life to save others. It clearly sends the message that our society’s values are skewed. I would think it would cause our Soldiers pause.
When a Soldier or Marine has to HESITATE for fear he’ll be court marshaled or have his name and career ruined by being dragged through the nasty mud oozing from the MSM, he is endangered.
Under these rules of engagement every Marine that fought in World War II or Vietnam would have been tried for war crimes! That’s our fathers, people. The left really loves to insult our military men, but remember these military men/women are our fathers, brothers, sisters, husbands, children. They are us. Whether you like it or not.
When we have not been able to CLEAR OUT ANY Triangles of Death throughout that country for fear of the way the MSM will spin it and demonize the military, it endangers all of our Soldiers. It should be so safe there a family could PICNIC in the ‘Triangle of Death’ - aside from any residual radiation that is.
Today, with Soldiers missing and Marines in prison for DOING THEIR JOBS, we have MSM still declaring a big conspiracy to harm PRISONERS OF WAR at Gitmo.
I say release the prisoners from Gitmo and give them housing next door to the editor of the New York Times and in Hollywood. Make sure they have their korans and their prayer rugs.
This is NO WAY TO FIGHT A WAR.
I say CARPET BOMB the ‘Triangle of Death’ and any other area that is known to harbor terrorists. Then when the insurgents start making accusations and complain that somebody got killed, reply by saying, ‘YEAH … AND…. there’s more where that came from, WUS’
Let loose the dogs of war and THIS battle will be over before we can blink our eyes. And the rest of the little muslims will get awfully cooperative.
We can easily beat the terrorists. But can we prevail over the enemy within our own borders? The propaganda machine that equates our military with their hatred for President Bush? The EXTREMELY WEALTHY, ‘INTELLECTUAL’ class that is willing to lose a war because they believe winning it validates a President they hate?
Cowards, seditionists and traitors. THEY are the enemy and they are getting our Soldiers killed.

Release Our Soldiers IMMEDIATELY…
We have two soldiers that have been taken captive in Iraq and needs to be released IMMEDIATELY.
“GIVE THEM BACK” says our President.

Thank you for a wonderulfully written post that put into words that which I couldn’t without all the colorful words that go with it. My heart is broken because of the direction this country is going. Yes, we are doomed — should we continue to allow the liberal left to rule.

Wonderful post Beth! You are saying the things the we soldiers feel but nobody wants to hear. Keep up the good work.

I hope you’re kidding about carpet-bombing the Sunni triangle. If you stop for a moment and ignore the liberal left and the mainstream media, you’ll see that the strategy and execution of this war is idiotic. The dissent at home has nothing to do with the strategy.
As an example, we flood Baghdad with 50,000+ troops this week. This exposes other positions because there are not enough boots on the ground. As a result, two soldiers were captured. They wouldn’t normally travel in a group as small as three.

Political Critic - no I’m not kidding at all. Sorry to disappoint you. I’m just one of those ill-informed dumbed down patriots who believes in my country and believes we should fight a war like it’s a war and keep our word. Silly values like that.
Thanks for coming by Jo, Deb, Robert and American Soldier

What IS war, anyway?…
It’s about taking no prisoners; and killing the enemy. That’s it. BENDING THEIR WILL so they finally give up. That means death and destruction; that means a war of attrition. Wicked, cruel, heartless. That’s what the leftists wou…

And THAT, friends and neighbors, is the EXACT reason why we’re having the difficulties we are having…
I never refused an order to fight, and even though I am not firmly convinced of ALL the reasons stated as to WHY we’re in Iraq, there is NO doubt in my mind that IF our military was unshackled and allowed to actually DO the job that a military is supposed to do, this thing would be over with VERY soon…
But you can’t fight a war with one hand tied behind your back, and you can’t fight a war with PC niceness…
It’s called WAR for a reason, if it was fun it would be called play time..
It’s WAR, BY GOD, let’s treat it as such…
In WAR, you kill your enemies, you vanquish them, you annihilate them, you send them to HELL on a shingle… You don’t worry about world opinion, why worry about it to begin with, the world thinks we suck, so, let’s show em what it looks like when ya suck and have a bad attitude, AND an Army that can kick ass and takes NO PRISONERS…
WWII started in Dec. 1941 and was over in Aug. 1945.. 3 years and 8 months and we beat the crap out of everything that was in our way…
We’ve been in Iraq almost that same amount of time… In IRAQ dammit… A sand pile the size of Texas…
Political war, you betcha…
