I’ve long held that the Iraq War was about three things.
1. Oil
2. Containing Iran
3. Saddam Hussein’s Declaration he had and was going to use Weapons of Mass Destruction
Right or Wrong, that’s how I saw it.
The U.S. public has been deluged by criticism from the Left, and their Media, regarding the Iraq War, claiming no Weapons of Mass Destruction were ever found. This relentless onslaught was never subdued by the fact that Saddam had used these Weapons in the War with Iran and on his on citizens. It was also never tempered by the fact that the Intelligence for Saddam’s intent was International. (Backed up by no less than 5 International Intelligence Services… and supported by every office holder in Congress except the only Honest Socialist Bernie Sanders.)
Now we are about to see what would have happened had the United States not gone into Iraq.
1. Energy Prices – will they Sky Rocket? (‘necessarily’ as our President has put it.)
2. Will Iran make a run westward? (Yesterday’s reports indicate they are on the move.)
3. Will a Caliphate be established that has Nuclear Capabilities and has shown its innate Hostility to the West compounded by its wish to use whatever means available to it to conduct overt War on The West… The Infidels?
Things are moving fast now.
Nature abhors a vacuum. And it tends to fill it quickly with whatever it can. The United States has created the fertile ground for Theocratic Statism. We have set the stage for Socialism with God at the Top instead of the State to rush in with all it’s Malevolence.
We will be witness to the Mass Oppression, Destruction and Death which always accompany such unchecked, Elitist Ideology.
And… it will be our fault, because we allowed those who hold similar ideas take the reins of power here in the United States.
The excuses from the ‘gentler’ Statists in control of the United States will be Loud and Repeated Often…
“Did you expect us to be there forever? We must respect their sovereignty, religious and social norms.” (We’re still in Germany… and Japan.)
“Our Presence serves only to inspire more Terrorists to become… well… Terrorists.”
“You cannot help those who are not willing to help themselves.”
On the Last one I agree. But forcing our help onto others was never included in my list of reasons to be there. I looked at it only as added value for them if they wanted it… it was not the mission.
Because any Mission of Forced ‘Charity’ will always fail as it has Always Failed… at home and abroad.
It appears we are Now simply making sure our investment in Blood and Treasure… Mothers and Fathers… Sons and Daughters… Disfigurement and Pain… is for Nothing.
Nothing.
All because we refused to be Honest about why we went to Iraq. All because we were afraid it would sound ‘mean spirited’ and ‘heartless’ to those on the Left.
All because of Politics.
We have now allowed our homegrown Socialists to Engineer and Oversee yet another Triumph Forsaken.
And we’ve allowed them to once again blame it on the rest of us.
Because it is our fault.
At what point do the rest of us stop caring about what those on the Progressive Socialist Left think?
