When DeLay stated, “When you tell the enemy what your strategy is, that's aiding and abetting the enemy because they can use that strategy to come back and harm your soldiers.” Are we supposed to be quiet as more are harmed and sent home in body bags? If that is the essence of victory, then I do not want it nor should any American who truly supports our soldiers.
As we read of millions of displaced Iraqis in which many include children who will be the next wave of those that hate us, one must ask this all important question; how many more of America’s blood and treasure will die in the years to come? Is any sane American willing to stand up to these belligerent bullies and criminals and telling them, this war ends now and we demand that you pull our forces out from this civil war in Iraq which you created.
I find any political leader who states that we will keep an occupying force within Iraq to also be collaborators with this criminal mentality. Iraq does not belong to the United States of America. Just how many times does one have to say that before it sinks in?
DeLay had this to say of fighting this war; “you've got to fight that war to win rather than fight the war for political posturing.” Everyone should tell him that there is no winning this war on terrorism when due to our own stupidity; we have created the new wave of those who will hate us as mentioned above.
To me aiding and abetting the enemy was the redeployment of our troops by those who did attack us and go after a country that did not. This administration gave them safe harbor when he launched ‘Shock and Awe’ which gave power to those who did in fact come after us. It has been reported that al Qaeda and the Taliban have regrouped within allied countries such as Pakistan. By allowing groups such as al Qaeda to regroup in Pakistan it goes against President Bush’s message that “you are either with us or with the terrorists” So, do not go telling the American people who are openly speaking out against this war that they are aiding and abetting the enemy. The Iraqi people are not the enemy, Mr. DeLay.
But, hey if you do not believe my words then read these comments coming from Rep. Tom Andrews (D-ME): You know, Tim, it's incredible to me to hear Mr. DeLay start his answer with--to your question by saying that, you know, we were attacked on 9/11 in answer to a question about Iraq. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. We know that for a fact.”
Amazingly he even stated for the viewing audience, “In Afghanistan and in the Pakistani border where Osama bin Laden happens to be, they are strengthening precisely because we have diverted our attention and our resources away from Afghanistan, away from the war on terror, on Iraq.”
Richard Perle the PNAC-man said this of Al Gore’s opinion of Saddam, "We know that Saddam has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout the country. Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter, and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power." I find it interesting first that Perle would even bring Gore into this debate. Does he see him as being a credible threat should he throw his hat into the presidential race of 2008? I find him even dragging his name into this show and selecting that quote as a form of psychological war-fare.
