America----from one ticked off lady

This woman should run for president!
 
 Written by a housewife from New Jersey and sounds like it! This is one ticked
off lady.
 
 "Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not started by
Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001?
 
 Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally murdered
that day, in downtown Manhattan , across the Potomac from our nation's capitol
and in a field in Pennsylvania?
 
 Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or
crushing death that day, or didn't they?
 
 And I'm supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was "desecrated" when an
overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet?...Well, I don't. I don't
care at all.
 
 I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for
incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.
 
 I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring
about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia .
 
 I'll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for hacking off Nick
Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashed throat.
 
 I'll care when the cowardly so-called "insurgents" in Iraq come out and fight
like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques.
 
 I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of nirvana
care about the innocent children within range of their suicide bombs.
 
 I'll care when the American media stops pretending that their First Amendment
liberties are somehow derived from international law instead of the United
States Constitution's Bill of Rights.
 
 In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine roughing up an Iraqi
terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don't care.
 
 When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who have been
humiliated in what amounts to a college-hazing incident, rest assured: I don't
care.
 
 When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move
because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank: I don't care.
 
 When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and fed
"special" food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy
book is being "mishandled," you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts:
I don't care.
 
 And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled "Koran" and other
times "Quran." Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and-you guessed it-I don't care !!
 
 If you agree with this viewpoint, pass this on to all your E-mail friends.
Sooner or later, it'll get to the people responsible for this ridiculous
behavior!
 
 If you don't agree, then by all means hit the delete button. Should you choose
the latter, then please don't complain when more atrocities committed by radical
Muslims happen here in our great Country! And may I add:

the world. But, the Marines don't have that problem." -- Ronald Reagan
 
 I have another quote that I would like to add AND.......I hope you forward all
this.
 
 "If we ever forget that we're One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation
gone under." Also by.. Ronald Reagan
 
 One last thought for the day:
 
 In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the Anti-American sentiment
and negativity, we should remember England's Prime Minister Tony Blair's words
during a recent interview. When asked by one of his Parliament members why he
believes so much in America, he said: "A simple way to take measure of a country
is to look at how many want in... And how many want out."
 
 Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:
 1. Jesus Christ
 2. The American G. I.
 
 One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.
 
 YOU MIGHT WANT TO PASS THIS ON, AS MANY SEEM TO FORGET BOTH OF THEM.
 AMEN!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your service to God and country and helping squelch any further attack that may occur on our soil at the hands of extremist Islams.

If that is true, then why don't we have the right to prosecute the Dems who slander and demean our troops before the world and basically support the cause of the terrorists over their own fellow Americans? And who is going to punish these politicians for SLANDERING our military men and women and standing up for terrorists who murdered over 3000 innocent civilians? Certainly not OTHER politicians! It has to be WE THE PEOPLE!

I'm confused - there was absolutely NO link between Iraq and 9/11.

We are there liberating the Iraqis from their awful dictator.

 It seems you all forgot.

This mentality confuses me to no end.   This housewife "is" basically currently running our country per se....as her email is our current foreign policy.

There is NO link between Iraq and 9/11...remember?   The huge majority of hijackers were Saudi's yet the US does not "punish" them - in fact, we give them military aid!

Yes, 3K Americans died that day - so, rather than punish Saudi or Pakistan - we set our eyes on Iraq. 

Saudi is CURRENTLY exporting MORE terrorists than any country....

Saudi Arabia Is ‘World-Class Exporter’ of Terror

The involvement of Saudi Arabian citizens in worldwide terror did not end with the 9/11 attacks — today thousands of Saudis are managing terrorist networks and orchestrating suicide bombings and jihadist attacks around the globe.

Saudi Arabia has become, in short, a world-class exporter of Islamic violence, according to Youssef Ibrahim of the New York Sun, who cites these alarming developments:

  • As many as 30 Saudis enter Iraq each day with plans to become suicide bombers and kill Americans and Shiite Muslims.
  • More than 1,000 Saudis are now training at an al-Qaida camp in Syria, while others are training in camps in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran.
  • Of the insurgents who fought the Lebanese army’s during the siege of the Nahr el-Bared refugee camp, which claimed more than 300 lives, more than 30 percent were Saudis.
  • At least 800 Saudis are currently being held in Iraq or Jordan, charged with terrorist acts or intentions.
  • Outside the Middle East, Saudi jihadists are also operating in Somalia, Malaysia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and the Philippines.

Fifteen of the 19 hijackers on Sept. 11, 2001, were Saudis.

Ibrahim pointed to a segment of ABC’s “World News Tonight” on the sixth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, which detailed how Islamist terror originates and ends with “Saudi Arabia, its people, and its government,” Ibrahim writes.

The report “conjured an Orwellian image of a conveyor belt with human bombs placed on it running out of the House of Saud and reaching around the globe. Saudi-funded mosques and madrassas supplied ideological content, and wings of the Saudi ruling establishment stoked the fire of its infernal machine.”

Ibrahim raises the question of why the U.S. by and large “looks the other way” regarding the behavior of its so-called ally — and major source of oil.

The answer, he opines, lies not just in the well known “Bush-Saud Family” factor — the Saudi royal family’s links to the Bush family and associates — but in the “corrupting process” that reaches into “every segment of the American ruling establishment over three decades.”

He asserts that many in Washington’s diplomatic and journalistic establishment have benefited from Saudi largesse intended to buy influence in the U.S.

Ibrahim concludes: “The result is that while Washington hears the music, it is not listening to the words.”

One other important note - 1000's MORE Americans are killed by illegals immigrants AND in this war - this number could NEVER compare to the 3K killed on 9/11.

http://sayanythingblog.com/entry/illegals_murder_more_americans_than_troops_die_in_iraq_as_dangerous_as_drun/

ALL of this - yet our front door is STILL wide open.

Logic?

Per the article, " Twelve Americans are murdered every day by illegal aliens". 

I have seen figures that many more U.S. citizens than that die as a result of illegals when you take in consideration the drunken driving fatalities. Sure , U.S. citizens get drunk, get behind the wheel and kill people too. I would be willing to bet the illegals kill more. All the while like talking to a brick wall my screams go unheard by those that "lead" us.

I am and always will be 100% behind the troops of the United States military. I will not however condone deployments imposed on these troops for political reasons,  though like I say I will always stand behind the troops no matter what. That does not mean I have to agree with keeping the troops in places we simply don't need to be.

I have found no one that can convince me our current occupation of Iraq is keeping me more safe from terrorists than our lack of security along our boarders. Those that flew the planes in the 911 attacks did not come floating across the oceans from Iraq.  Someone convince me!

Just like drinking OP beer , other people's beer, it is real easy to send OP family, other people's family, to die for some sorry politician's political agenda. It is beyond me why we did not kick the **** out of those trubin heads and get in and get out. Maybe not "politically correct" in saying that, I am fed up with "politically correct" just like I have no feeling for being "politically correct" agreeing with this war. I simply don't agree with it at this point.

Shortie you bring all of the troops home and you will do nothing but allow these nuts to regroup and they will be here big time but much worse this go round.

Sir it is called another Democrat surrender as they have no balls. Just ask Ted Kennedy which Marine detachment he served in.

My sentiments exactly!  Our front door is still wide open!!!! To ANYONE!  Where is the logic???  How are we protecting ourselves from ANY terrorists?  Just because we haven't had another horrific 911 doesn't mean that we won't!  It just means that they can come in here anytime they want, and take their time planning whatever they want, because our stupid government is allowing it!  What is anyone going to say about us being over in Iraq if simultaneously 20 of our largest cities are blown to smithereens????


All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men and women do nothing!

Once elevated to the top , you are no longer a trooper . The top tier of the military caters to the politicians until they get a belly full then they too (usually upon leaving active duty ) come out with some of the best stuff ! Listen to the grunts they are Le Machine . It is the politicians who order the upper echelon to order Le Machine into gear , dear . It is the politicians , along with those yes men who allow the needless killing of so many and the damaging of the USA image to whom I refer . And once again I say they need to be held accountable long before they die of old age in a mansion somewhere surrounded in a life of luxury paid for so dearly by our TROOPS LIVES . Sane people can get behind a war which is necessary and just and the other knit wits can  too I guess . It is just the knitwits who love any war just because of whatever who further the cause of bad politicians and yes I wish they could be held responsible also .

Bob...I have waited since 1979 to strike back at the muslim extremists...in whatever country they decide to hide like the cockroaches that they are....they all need to die.....I don't care if they are in Iraq or Timbuktu.....DIE MUSLIMS EXTREMISTS DIE!

I have too many friends currently serving in Iraq and Afghanistan to back off from supporting them now. I love them and I admire them for their service to our great country and yes, I am so very happy for the Kurds- they DESERVE a chance for a better life. NO RAPE ROOMS, NO TERRORIST TRAINING CAMPS POPPING UP ON A DAILY BASIS, NO MORE SADDAM AND HIS INSANE SONS......but where the heck are all of the Bio-toxins that Saddam received from Nelja Nemov the Russian virologist in 1992? WHERE ARE THEY? WHO HAS THEM? I have known about this for over a decade and I KNOW what I am talking about.....and that's a FACT! 

I will not abandon my country and I do not appreciate being bashed for my patriotism. You have your view.....and I have mine- lets leave it at that.

My best friend just emailed that he arrived safely in the sandbox today on his 6th tour. I honor him for his bravery and service to this great country....he is risking his life so you and others have the freedom of speech to bash our military men and women serving so valiantly.

BTB:  But we aren't ONLY killing "muslim extremists" - we are killing ALL walks of life. 

There is some rhetoric that DRIVES me crazy and I hear repeated over and over.....

First - no longer supporting the war in Iraq is NOT unpatriotic!  The war was won - we went in to find WMD - then "liberate the ppl from Sadaam" - done, done.  So, declare victory and move on....we have NO business building a 592M vatican sized embassy in Iraq (the largest in the world)... This in of itself means we have absolutely NO intention of leaving Iraq.  Zero.

Second -  not supporting 'the war' does NOT equate to not supporting our troops!  Who started this crap?  I find it incredibly concerning that someone will take one's view on this neverending war - to the EXTREME and say b/c they don't support the war, thus they do not 'support our troops'!  I send care packages and letters to troops - I HAVE friends that come and go like a revolving door over there - one who got back in August who REFUSES to go back and has joined www.ivaw.org speaking out against the war - are you saying he no longer supports his friends b/c of his stance on the Iraq war?  That's absurd.   My military friends KNOW my view on this war (in fact they ALL share it) - and not a ONE thinks I'm disrespecting our troops by disagreeing with the administration and this war in Iraq.  In fact, I USED to support this war - when I believed the propaganda that it was linked to 9/11 and the fear tactic of the WMD etc etc...

Lastly, our military is not over there fighting for "our freedoms"...I'm so confused when ppl say this.   First they were there b/c of WMD - then it was to liberate the Iraqis - it was never for our freedoms - as it had nothing to do with 9/11.

I understand what you are saying....but I have my reasons to continue to support our troops mission....I want Iraq to have a chance to be a stable democracy or similar....at least let their people have a fighting chance to live in peace....not the best line to use when speaking of a middle eastern country known to be a hotbed for its entire history. I love my friends who are serving too....but I am getting DIFFERENT information than you are....my friends are proud and pleased with the progress and have made many friends with Iraqi families. They truly love the Iraqi people and feel for their precarious position they are currently in. It is not an easy road. But if we leave before they are able to "protect" themselves- then we will have to go back AGAIN in several years to clear out the terrorist training camps sure to pop up upon our departure.  I DO care....and maybe I am a bit of  Pollyanna...but I love my country, I love our military and I will continue to support their mission.

That's a beautiful thing that you are sending care packages Americafirst. I can only afford to send letters. Keep up the good work. I know we do not always agree...but that does not make either one of us less of an American. Would you agree with that statement?
