Traitors In Our Midst Once Again

News broke today about a classified (which is not so classified anymore) Army operation where terrorists were baited, and snipers would take them out. Basically the Army would “bait” terrorists to come pick up items such as detonation cords (or other items terrorists would use to build bombs) and then the snipers would take them out. Now it’s not just news that this operation was taking place which of course outrages the America-haters in our government, but the story tells of how three snipers are now being charged with murder. The Washington Post felt the need to explain all about this “classified” operation, which of course satisfies their agenda to see America lose this war. Supposedly, these three snipers killed innocent civilians (innocent because they hadn’t fully built the IED’s they were trying to make I’m sure) and planted these materials on them to make the killings looked justified. Yes, I’m sure three snipers have nothing better to do than to shoot a few innocent civilians and then plant materials on them because they aren’t busy enough trying to take out the enemy.

So a baiting operation was taking place. The problem with this is…? Oh wait, we may not be playing fair. After all, Iraqi civilians can’t afford bomb-making materials, so who could blame them for picking up free materials they find…because I’m quite certain every Iraqi targeted in the operation was just some poor soul out for a walk that happened to run across parts to make a bomb and figured he’d pick them up to take home and let the kids play with them. Give me a friggin’ break. And now we have three soldiers who were trying to kill those who want to destroy us being charged with murder. Oh, and you can forget about this operation taking place anymore since it’s now public knowledge as to how it’s conducted.

And I wonder why the couple of Marines I was talking to last night who were wounded in Iraq expressed a ton of frustration about being there. They said each day they felt tentative about doing their jobs because they wondered what might happen if they shot someone because of times charges have been brought against soldiers for trying to win a war. Isn’t that just sad beyond belief? And that’s our government for you…send the soldiers to war and make them fight with one hand tied behind their back. What a bunch of gutless pieces of crap we have running this country.

And considering they let the modern-day Hitler come to this country and not do something about it, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.

Cowards

Tonight was the only "real" debate thus far as Values Voter sponsored a GOP debate, and this was the first debate that none of the big 4 attended. The arrogance and cowardice of the big 4 is a HUGE slap in the face to those of us with true conservative values looking for strong leadership for this country. John McCain, Rudy Guliani, Mitt Romney, and Fred Thompson seemed to have better things to do than participate in a REAL debate where REAL issues are discussed and where the questions truly reflect what conservatives are looking for in a candidate. And after watching the debate, I can see why they were too scared to attend - the questions were not fluff and actually forced candidates to truly take a stand on what they believe and what their values are.

I never was a fan of Guliani, Romney, or McCain and felt indifferent about Fred Thompson…until tonight. Those who chose not to attend such an important debate because they were too scared to do so, and that’s exactly why they didn’t attend, have ZERO business asking for votes from conservatives. Tonight, the big 4 showed they are part of the problem, and not a solution by any means. The ones who took the stage tonight, even though I may not completely agree with all of them, at least had the guts to lay it all out there and tell us where they stand on REAL issues. This was the most informative debate I’ve watched, and I’m glad I did. If anything, it solidified the fact that I will not vote for one of the big 4. So what happens if in November of 2008 it comes down to something like Hillary Clinton versus Fred Thompson? I will not vote for either. Like Tom Tancredo stated tonight, I am so sick of trying to decide between the lesser of two evils.

Also, I was pretty happy to hear Alan Keyes tonight. I shouldn’t be surprised, but I really can’t believe how much his entering this race was ignored. Oh wait, I forgot, you can’t be black and be a conservative according to the media.
