Thoughts on the Media - May 10, 2007
I am so aggravated with the media I can't stand it.
Things that the press focuses on closely become the only thing that matters. They are the microscope that highlights things that normally would go unnoticed. When you fall under the microscope, look out. All of those blemishes that could not be seen before look incredibly large and ugly. Every word that is uttered is examined for political correctness and if it offends anyone, shame on you. You are a terrible person.
War, as it turns out, is not a popular and pleasant thing. The injury and death of soldiers, is not a good thing. The press has zoomed in on this for years. So let's change the microscope's focus and zoom far out.
The Middle-East is a tinder box that could blow up at any time due to the existance of Israel. The U.S., unfortunately, is dependent on Middle-Eastern oil and need to protect that supply line, since we are incapable of implementing a plan to ween ourselves from it. Our long term goal is to stabilize the region, thus protecting the oil and Israel from any rash actions on the part of Arab states. Removing Sadam Hussein takes one mad man out of the mix. By creating some kind of democracy in Iraq, that is one less Arab nation we have to worry about making any rash move, plus its location serves as a buffer between Iran and Israel. While the Israeles and Palistinians will never be friends, at least there are fewer suicide bombings taking place. Things are calming down and that can have a good long-range effect. Al-Quida in Iraq has been focussed on trying to remove Americans from the "sacred" Arab lands and while they do this, we are killing them over there rather than here in the U.S. We are keeping the radicals "occupied" over there and not here. Remember that we lost about 3000 people on 9/11 and have lost over 3000 troops since then in the Middle-East. Sure we hate paying that price, but, it would be even more costly if we were fighting this war on our home turf.
Long-range, we have a better chance of peace by fighting them now rather than showing weakness and lack of committment to victory as the liberals would like to see. You can pay a price now, or a higher price later. Think long-term, not short term. Think of our country's long term stability, not our short term political expediency.
Here are a few misconceptions that the media has hammered into our heads so much that according to them, it has to be right.
Bush Lied about WMD as an excuse to go into Iraq - If you remember, the UN was trying to find WMD but was unsuccessful. Iraq was not complying with their call for cooperation and were basically thumbing their nose at the UN. Did Iraq have WMD? Let's see, they used it in a war against Iran, they used it to slaughter thousands of Kurds, so therefore...what...they don't have any??? What did they do with it? Send it to Syria? Flush it down some toilet? The UN was asking how did they dispose of it and Iraq did not respond. So did they use it all up? Highly unlikely. All of our allies (former allies since we only have about 4 now) around the world agreed that Iraq had WMD. Most everyone agreed that Iraq would not hesitate to use it. [let's see they used it against Iraq and the Kurds, therefore.... they would not use it??? Now that doesn't make sense] I heard speaches from the late 1990s by Ted Kennedy, Hillary Clinton and even Bill Clinton saying that Iraq was a danger because of their WMD and we needed to neutralize that threat!!! This is coming from their mouths. I taped these statements off of the radio. What these three people said we should do is exactly what Bush is doing!!!
The conclusion: Civilized nations and even our prominent Democratic politicians believed that Iraq had WMD and were a dangerous threat to the world.
Here is one of my favorite statements. It comes from that highly principled, "see which way the surveys are going and I'm with the majority", John Kerry. Before the 2004 Presidential election, he was saying that we needed to get out of Iraq because "80% of Iraquis wanted us out of their country". On the surface, that looks like a bold statement. What nation wants the U.S. military stationed throughout the country???? Does anybody?? Turn this question around and see what we would answer this. Would you like the Muslims who have entered this country over the last ten years to leave? I vote yes, and I contend that at least 50% of the nation would also say yes. So, how bad does 80% really sound in light of that? I find it amazing that as many as 20% want us to stay!
The conclusion: The 80% figure of Iraquis who want us to leave is not an outrageous statement as John Kerry would like you to think. It is natural to want to be left alone by outsiders. Is it not?
How about this one. Tony Blair is just Bush's lapdog.
How incredibly insulting. Our best, most loyal ally over decades is just an obedient lapdog that will roll over and do tricks just because we tell them to. They have no thoughts or opinions of right and wrong themselves. Blair just does whatever command Bush tells him to do. This is embarassingly insulting. Blair, who is considered a liberal in England, understood the difference between right and wrong and went with his moral convictions (not going with political expediency....our politicians would never go with political expediency, would they?) and supported the cause of Good against Evil. Tony Blair is to be praised and admired. He stands for doing the right thing against popular, short sighted, complacent thinking.
