I received what basically constitutes a spam message this morning. It's from a site called renoion.com. It contains a letter from a member who is currently in Iraq, SPC Harry Miller. Contained in that statement was the following paragraph:
Many people disagree as to whether or not we should be in Iraq. MY reason for being there became clear the first time I met a little girl named Julie, and looked into her eyes. She looked as if she hadn't eaten in days, and if she had, it couldn't have been much. I shared some of my MRE (food ration) with her. She said "thank you" to me in the best English she could. She warmed my heart and broke it at the same time. See, there are thousands of kids just like her in Iraq. There are now more programs in Iraq bringing food, medicine and materials for schools and education. My reason for being there was for the people.

For those of you who think we should get out of Iraq right now, tell me what you would say to this girl. Regardless of why, being in Iraq is essential. I'm rather certain for this girl, it currently is. WMDs may have been the key reason in the first place, but there were countless other reasons which may seem insignificant in the grand scale, but together constitute many reasons for going in...
The other day I was flipping though channels on the TV, and came across a blatantly liberal biased show on our local cable channel 6. They proceeded to play countless clips of the Bush administration talking about WMDs. I found 2 key things interesting about this little piece.
1) At
NO point in time did they play a single clip of any Democrats words saying the exact same thing. For those of you in denial, my last post links to a page which
fully documents countless liberals words talking about Iraq's WMDs, some long before Bush even took office. I think the entire Democrat party still believes none of them ever said Iraq had them, even though most of those with the loudest liberal voices today all in fact said Iraq did...
2) Bush's given reasons in these clips included things other than WMDs, including the fact that
Saddam has given safe haven to many terrorists, including high ranking members of Al Queda. So for those of you who believe the only reason Bush ever gave was WMDs, you are again incorrect...
I truly thought I would never say this, but I in fact agree with things many liberals once said. The this includes the following people:
President Clinton, Madeline Albright, Sandy Berger, Carl Levin, Tom Daschle,
John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi, Joe Lieberman,
Al Gore,
Ted Kennedy, Robert Byrd,
Hillary Clinton, Jay Rockerfeller, Bob Graham
Boy, if anybody were to tell me the phrase
"I agree with Ted Kennedy" would come out of my mouth I would have told them they were insane...
We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction.
Sen. Ted Kennedy, Sept. 27, 2002
