Last Combat Forces Leave Iraq

A lot of you have asked over email or on the blog about what my thoughts are about this. Ill be honest --- its a hard thing to explain --- but Ill try.

 

The first thoughts are ones of happiness. Your glad that we have reached that stage where they can leave. Your glad that they have safely made it out of the war zone. Your glad that success continues and that all of the US Military's blood, sweat, tears, and lives were not wasted. Your glad that a President and a General had the foresight, and vision to understand what was needed even when many others said it was lost, and that they had the moral conviction and guts to stand up for what they believed.

 

The other side worries. Both for those that are still there and for the long term success. Just because the "combat forces" have left, we still have forces in harms way in Iraq. I also hope that success continues. I think it will. The Iraqi Forces and their government are ready.

 

The other part of my thoughts right now are that I am damn glad that the General that I reffered to in my first paragraph is here now. Iraq in many ways, even though completely different, serves as an example of what can be accomplished. That is what we are working for now. For the sake of the Afghan people, and so that in a couple years we see those same pictures about Afghanistan.

 

Those are my thoughts right now. Ones of happiness for Iraq and those of hope for Afghanistan.

 

God Bless America

Taliban Attack Mosque On First Day Of Ramadan

From (ISAF / IJC): http://www.isaf.nato.int/article/isaf-releases/taliban-attack-mosque-on-first-day-of-ramadan.html

 

An insurgent-fired rocket-propelled grenade struck a mosque near Asadabad at approximately 8 a.m. toady. The RPG, one of four, broke windows and knocked down a tree. Nobody was injured in the blast. The attack came on the first day of Ramadan and only two days before children were killed by insurgent fighters.

"It is sad that these insurgents have total disregard for their own brothers and holy places during this especially sacred time of the year," said U.S. Navy Cmdr. Mark Edwards, Provincial Reconstruction Team Kunar commander. "We will continue to with the Kunar Provincial government to ensure these people are held accountable for their actions.

The safety of the people of Kunar remains our number one priority."

 

---- End Report -----

 

These are the actions of criminals and terrorists. Plain and simple. On one side you have the Afghan National Security Forces and ISAF working to make Afghanistan a better place and to protect the people. 

 

On the other side you have murdering thugs who kill children and blow up places of worship. 

 

Absolutely despicable.

My Comments: Yes -- there seem to be more and more stories about the Insurgents killing civilians in the past months. The reason is --  they are doing more or it. The Time Magazine Cover Photo is just the tip of the Iceberg. These criminal terrorists are absolutely cowardly despicable trash. They do not hold the best interests of the Afghan People in mind. The kill them indiscriminately, they torture them, and they mutilate them. If you ever wonder what it would be like if we left without finishing the mission -- you are looking at it in these photos and news stories -- only about 100 times worse.

Wiki Leaks

I'll keep this short ----

 

But I had to say something. What Wikileaks has done is just outright disgraceful and in my opinion criminal. I know what international law states -- I dont care -- in my opinion it's criminal.

 

Ill stop for now -- If I keep going I'll really get on a roll. But this one really hits home.
