Why Are We On the Attack?
by James Glaser
George Bush has told the world that we have given Iraq back to the Iraqi people. If that is true and our troops are there now working as "Peace Keepers" then why are we in a full scale attack against the most holy Muslim Shrine in all of Iraq. British media reports that we are fighting and killing children as young as 12 years old, who have come to defend their faith. The United States Army and the United States Marine Corps are now fighting a rag tag bunch of Muslim fanatics who are willing to give their lives to protect their "Vatican," the Iman Ali Shrine Do any of you think we are going to win this battle? Even if we kill every man in the so called Mahdi Army and capture or worse yet kill their leader, Muqtada al Sadr, we lose and big time. Right now, the United States of America is attacking a religious shrine which is revered by millions of Muslims all over the world and maybe it isn't shown on our media, but the rest of the world gets to see the children protecting this holy Muslim site. George Bush and his advisors are really out and out dumb shits if they think we are going to get a victory out of this. Millions more people are going to hate our country and in turn, you and me, because Bush wants to claim a victory during the Republican Convention. George Bush is a sick man who is now willing to kill children to get four more years of power. |
