So many people in the past have said, "It's time to leave Iraq." or "What are we even still doing there?" I, can honestly say I feel both. Especially after reading this on CNN.com...
Al-Khazali's release was a gesture by the Iraqi government as part of the national reconciliation process with militant groups, al-Dabbagh told CNN.Al-Khazali was detained in March 2007 along with his brother, Qais, in connection with the killing two months earlier of five U.S. soldiers who were in the central city of Karbala.In that attack, nine to 12 gunmen in five SUVs, wearing "American-looking uniforms" and carrying "U.S.-type weapons," drove through checkpoints before opening fire on U.S. soldiers in the Karbala government compound, the U.S. military said.
Now this has happened before. Many times, are terrorists and criminals released from the Iraqi Penal system with little more than a slap on the wrist, only to be arrested or killed a few weeks later for going back to the old "habits". However, such a HIGH PROFILE terrorist is normally not released. This terrorist fuck is responsible, or partly responsible of the deaths of 5 U.S. Soldiers. And the Iraqi Government is letting this guy go free as a "Good will Gesture between militant groups and the Government." What that says to me is, Corruption is so prevelant now in the Iraqi government, that proven terrorists are being released. The government is trying to make peace with the terrorist militant groups. Soon enough, their influence will grow even more strong in the government.
So, 5 soldiers lost, no justice to be found. Even more amazing, the terrorist, Al-Khazali, is part of a intricate network of IED (Improvised Explosive Devices) and EFPIED's (Explosively Formed Projectile Improvised Explosive Device.) I guarantee you that this man will go make more bombs, perfect them, and kill more U.S. Soldiers, especially knowing the Iraqi government will protect him.
IF THIS IS A STATEMENT TO AMERICAN SOLDIERS FROM THE IRAQI GOVERNMENT THAT THEY WILL WORK WITH TERRORISTS, THEN IT IS TIME TO GO. NOTHING CAN BE GAINED. THEY ARE WORKING WITH THE TERRORISTS... BRING OUR BOYS HOME, AND LEAVE NOTHING BUT A GLASS PARKING LOT WHERE IRAQ WAS.
That is no good, my man. No Good. I want to HAMMER TIME their faces, over there in Iraq. The U.S. should be raising hell over this... I know Hammer would.
ReplyDeleteHAMMER TIME!
Thank you for your Service Robert. Your parents are proud. It is a shame that stories like this even happen. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI should, shouldn't I?
ReplyDeleteLet's see, shall we:
ReplyDeleteThe American people want out of Iraq (one of the big promises that got Obama elected).
The Iraqi people want the foreign forces out (as shown by most surveys)
The American soldiers want out of Iraq (as shown by their donations to Ron Paul, more than to any other '08 candidate)
Everyone wants to end the war!
But who's standing in the way? Grimy politicians, as usual.
Nobody - once again, I am with you on this. I am torn myself.
ReplyDeleteThe game plan was to have Iraqi forces ready to take over in a Democracy. Then they do shit like that. Bowing to terrorist groups will have them back in a dictatorship in no time.
Let me know if you want help making that place a glass parking lot. We can take my ship, and maybe stop in some nice places for sangrias along the way.
The S.S. Glass Parking lot express has left the port with a drunken captain and first mate
ReplyDeleteShit like that just makes me sick, I don't even know what to say about it though. But thank you Robert for all that you did for your country, you're a great guy...even if you are a little crazy :P
