What is my point?
Well my point is this.
Pelosi and others have made it a point to tell the president that they are in charge and this is another situation where she, being the most ‘Powerful Women’ in the US has decided to side step the administration’s ongoing dialog through proper channels to make a name for herself and to make the point that the democrats are in charge. If you have an idea what actually is the history or what is going on there and how Syria fits in to the bigger picture, you will understand how dangerous this is and how it makes us look divided and weak.
In addition to this, she and others like her are not privy to the on going dialog between different countries and the state department as much as we, the public know what was in the classified intelligence reports that were presented to the Congress about Iraq.
As for the others, including the repubs that went along, well they are not the leader of the representatives of the people of the United States – big difference.
To explain my point;
1 - Many people do not believe the threat is real and has been long before Iraq was ever an issue. These are not the Goat farmers on the hill side praying to Allah, these people are well educated and well funded people who have studied us and are as, if not more determined to destroy us as the Japanese were determined to follow their emperor and kill by any means (read about the Japanese and China). They have the money and the patients to reach that goal.
Our enemy, the ones that the democrats want you not to say who they are (oh you can call them Islamic extremists but freedom fighters), clearly know that the success of the North Vietnamese was to allow the ‘protesters’ to grow in number and this would allow a division in the country to form. This division now is not as great as people would want to believe, seeing that many of the vocal supporters of the troops and their mission are former Vietnam troops who faced problems when they came home and don’t want it to happen again. The terrorists want to see the division grow and know that they have on their side our media, our democratic party and many uniformed and ignorant people within the populous to help them. Just think about this and do a little research, how many acts of violence has taken place in the US by someone who is Muslim and stated that they wanted to kill Americans since 9.11? Take the challenge and find out.
Speaking of 9.11, we forgot 9.11, period. We lost our way again and we have become the United States of the 70s – not caring about politics or what damage is done to the country as long as we get our TV and iPods.
2 - Most of the people in this country do not even attempt to understand the processes that we, the United States has to deal with on the world stage to create a dialog, form some alliance or agreements between two parties or even know how leverage of power works. The few hundred years of diplomacy that has evolved does not allow for instant results, if it did, we would not have had WW1 or other wars. For the most part, many people listen to the radio both right and left radio, read twisted “journalistic†reports or watch Rosie on TV about 9.11and believe any and everything that is said – no matter how off the wall it is.
3 – Many people don’t have a clue about the culture over there. They don’t understand that they do not accept a compromise solution but a negotiated solution – big difference. They see compromise and indifference as a weakness and weakness needs to be destroyed. They see that strength and consistency in leadership is the only way to go. They use our fear and weakness against us – point in case is the flying imams and their law suit. Fear triggered the event and we are too weak to stand up to them. They win/we lose.
Whether or not you hate the president, you can not escape that he is the president and we have laws and rules on what he and others in the government can and can not do. On the world stage the president and his administration represents us or is our face to the world, for better or worst, and if we allow people from any branch of government to become our face to the world, then we have serious problems with our government and it won’t stop there.
Oh one last thing, there are far more important things for her to do here to help us, like start investigating the leaking of classified information to the media and possibly shut down the papers who printed the info in the first place. Yep this action threatens all of us.
