PRESIDENT OBAMA – I HAVE AN IDEA
President Obama, in order to show your opposition you are in agreement on some things, I believe you have chosen the wrong cause for appeasement. I believe you could rout the Republican Party by announcing holus bolus America is getting out of Iraq and Afghanistan within eighteen months. Too many lives and too much cost have been expended on two countries that are nothing but excrement holes of the first order. Sometimes in a sense, even the so-called innocent deserve the fate that comes their way. They have allowed themselves to be pawns. Afghanistan has been a mess for centuries with its peoples continually at war with one another and anyone else who comes in contact with them. I can’t think of a better a place for bin Laden and his mob to operate from. Why don’t the Muslims zealots make the mountains surrounding Kabul the new “Mecca” and for all those who would make the annual pilgrimage, offer them an incentive to stay on there! President Kazai’s family or War Lords (brothers and cousins) control the opium/heroin business which has boomed since American soldiers have been patrolling the country. Turn the Taliban and Al Qaeda into addicts and the prime users of the stuff; then our terrorism fears would come to an abrupt end!
As a Monday morning quarterback, the decision to invade Iraq was about as stupid as the three Afghan wars the British entered into during nineteenth and early 20th centuries. As Rudyard Kipling was quoted, “Every stone in the Khyber has been soaked in blood”, the very same can be said of Iraq. Our warmonger generals and our ex-President have a lot to answer for when you think of every American soldier who has been maimed or worse still, lost in the taking over and holding of Iraq. It is America’s Khyber Pass
We no longer enjoy the wealth to fight stupid wars. If we need to keep a check on Muslim zealots and trouble makers in both countries, maintain a force of a hundred drones piloted by remote control on American soil, to occasionally ambush them and let them know who is boss. This weapon is definitely our greatest and most deadly invention yet. We no longer need a dozen or so aircraft carriers, 500 warships/submarines and thousands of warplanes. The drone can do a most effective job for us in lieu of. A smaller defense force can be redeployed for humanitarian needs, like the disaster in Haiti. Usually poor countries that become victims to natural disasters face huge problems maintaining order. Who better to act as the movers and shakers to get things done, repair the country and place it on track to becoming a civilized nation than our military?
A change in our military thinking could cut hundreds of $billions off our defense bill and in no time a huge hole would be made in our $trillions of debt. Now is the time to change the direction of the Pentagon and reduce its overhead. President Obama, this will catapult your support to new heights.
