The Price Of An Unjust War

Pro-war group launches $15 million ad blitz – Mike Allen – Politico.com
A new group, Freedom’s Watch, is launching Wednesday with a $15 million, five-week campaign of TV, radio and Web ads featuring military veterans that is aimed at retaining support in Congress for President Bush’s “surge” policy on Iraq. (…) “There was a large vacuum on the conservative side,” said Bradley A. Blakeman, who is president and chief executive officer of Freedom’s Watch.

Yeah, there’s a large vacuum, alright. And it exists between the ears of the Freedom’s Watch membership. I guess it’s not surprising that the same dumbshits who thought throwing $454 billion dollars at Iraq would solve that problem now think throwing $15 million into pro-war ads will make citizens suddenly change their minds about what a total disaster this war is.

Well, I say great! Let them spend their money on stupid pro-war ads. That’s just $15 million less they can spend on one of their other creepy campaigns.

The opening ad, by Jamestown Associates of New Jersey, shows a military veteran saying: “Congress was right to vote to fight terrorism in Iraq and Afghanistan. I re-enlisted after Sept. 11 because I don’t want my sons to see what I saw. I want them to be free and safe. I know what I lost. I also know that if we pull out now, everything I’ve given and the sacrifices will mean nothing. They attacked us, and they will again. They won’t stop in Iraq. We are winning on the ground and making real progress. It’s no time to quit. It’s no time for politics.”

Amazing!! Truly amazing! They’re actually sticking with the TOTALLY FALSE notion that Iraq had something to do with 9/11. I guess they’re assuming there are still a lot of people who don’t yet realize that Iraq wasn’t involved at all in that attack.

Okay, for those of you who are maybe new here and who haven’t given this subject any thought before, let me review:

• Number of Iraqis who were involved in the 9/11 attack? ZERO.
• Amount of love Sadaam Hussein had for Al Qaeda? ZERO. Hussein wanted nothing to do with Al Qaeda because they were a threat to his power in Iraq.
• Number of “weapons of mass destruction” found in Iraq before and since we invaded that country? ZERO.

Folks, Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. We’re in Iraq for two reasons and neither of them is good. The first reason is oil. The second reason is saving face for George W. Bush (and, to a small extent) his father.

Wow. It’s really surprising they’re still trying to fool people into thinking Iraq has some relationship to 9/11. Hm. Desperation, maybe?
