The Ultimate Weapon

The President seems to find time to waste the taxpayers money on a failed bid to bring the Olympics to crime ridden Chicago , yet seems to find very little time to do the actual job he was hired for; namely acting as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces. Our troops are fighting a war against al Queda in Afghanistan, yet the President has spoken only once in 70 days to General McKristal , his ground commander in the field of combat. Sure, he was shamed into talking to him in between bidding on the Olympics and chatting with Oprah during the plane ride, but he still has not committed to giving his troops what they need to win ; namely, more troops.He claims that more time is needed to evaluate the best strategy before acting. There is only one strategy, Mr. President. You fight a war to win, or you don't fight it.You destroy the enemy completely, and then bring our boys home. We are not there to nation build , or to gain the confidence of Afghan citizens.Defeating al Queda totally ,and preventing them from using Afghanistan as a safe haven, or home ground permanently will accomplish that quite effectively.; and more troops is the only way to achieve that. Yet, we have a president who seems quite willing to spend  billions of dollars on everything from healthcare to Acorn, yet hesitates when it comes to giving our troops what they need to win in the war on terror, even when that hesitation may cost soldiers their lives. Our President seems to have  contempt for the military, even going as far as to prosecute CIA officials for war crimes related to so-called torture of Gitmo Prisoners ,and the most shocking of all; the removal of  missle shields designed to protect our allies; Poland and the Czech Republic in an attempt to appease the Russians. This is also a man who has , like other liberal Democrats, spoken in favor of bringing back the draft, which , by the way , was eliminated by President Nixon ; a Republican,because it was proven to be unconstitutional. In fact, the Vietnam war , begun and escalated by Democrats,was ended by Nixon.The news media, at the time, called President Nixon insane when he decided on unlimited bombing raids on key hot spots, but it finally got them to surrender didn't it?  War is the greatest weapon for peace we have, but it must be fought to win,with no quarter given to the enemy ,until he surrenders or is destroyed. There is an episode of "Star Trek" that illustrates the need for war and why it is  the greatest weapon for peace that exists . In the episode, an alien pits Kirk and crew against evil antagonists on a planet to prove which is stronger ; " good or evil". When Kirk and crew,{including Abraham Lincoln!} are victorious, the Alien is still puzzled. Even though good was the winner, it seemed to the Alien no different than evil. "Good and Evil use the same methods,"he said, "And achieve the same results" Kirk then asks the Alien, "What did they ask for if they won?" "What they valued most, Power", The Alien said. Captain Kirk responded, "We asked for the lives of our crew". "Enough", the Alien said, "I now perceive" Just a T.V. show? sure, but it illustrates an important point, and one that the Liberal Left will never "perceive". We go to war to kill ,destroy, maim, so that men can live in freedom.Freedom from the Tyrants that try to enslave them.Not one country we crushed in war had our values and ideology imposed on them by force. We do not conquer, we leave them free.Just ask Japan.We dropped two nuclear bombs on them, yet now the Nation of Japan is one of our staunchest Allies, and Partners in Liberty.
