Distractions
The war is over. Haven't you heard? Or more specifically, not heard?
It would seem that the war in Iraq is over since you never hear about it anymore. That it has gone from an quagmire to a winnable campaign is noting more than a sideshow (if that) to MSM that now has switched its focus on the "impending recession".
It is quite simple really, since there is no bad news out of Iraq that can discredit the current administration, there is no news. There is aside effect to this however, we're lulled into a false sense of security.

Unless the Koran has been thoroughly re-written, scrubbed clean of its myriad injunctions to violent means of spreading the "faith," or unless the Prophets' followers have suddenly decided that there might not actually be 72 gorgeous virgins waiting for them in paradise because they've succeeded in blowing the rest of us to kingdom come, then there is still a war on. It's real. It's deadly. And it's going to have to be won by one side or the other. It's already reared its ugly head sporadically for 14 centuries, and shows no sign of abating just because we prefer to bury our heads. If you don't believe this, ask Israel. Take a look at the little Iranian with the messiah complex, who is exploring nuclear "energy." Give a peek at the situation in Pakistan, with its nuclear arsenal. Then look over the border to Afghanistan, where the Taliban is gaining again in strength. And before you vote, ask yourself just one question: If we aren't safe in our homes and workplaces from another catastrophe like 9/11, will the price of your bread really matter? |
I'm tired of hearing that there is no enemy; that it is all a fabrication. Smoke and mirrors. They're out there and they are plotting to kill us and unless we stay vigilant, they are bound to succeed. Don't let the media distract you from the real problems.
