Isn’t it hypocritical for an “anti-war” or “pro-peace” protester to resort to non-violent ways of protest? The latest story on this issue “Protesters Throw Stones at National Guardsman” is yet another example of the hypocrisy of those portraying themselves as “anti-war” or “pro-peace.”

I may be pro-life, but I do not condone the killing of abortion doctors. So no one reading this post should try to make such a parallel. These protesters claiming to be against the war are not genuine pacifists. They are anti-American, anti-military, anti-Republican, and anti-Bush fascists.

I must apologize for not posting the past two days, I feel ill on Tuesday night and I’ve been trying to recuperate since. I am not 100% better yet, but I’ll try and get back up to speed within a day or so.

The first thing I want to bring up, is how diappointed I am in the media for their constant attempts of portraying this war in the most negative way. We suffered about 25 fatalities in the first week, and they have a field day like this is another Vietnam or Korea.

You can’t place a value on human life, but 25 fatalities in American forces is not even an itch to scratch on the American military as far as our overall strength and resolve is concerned.

On September 11, 2001, if someone said that by the end of March in 2003 that the United States would not have been the victim of another large scale terrorist attack on native soil, I would have “Highly doubtful.” If someone said before the war started that we’d have only suffered 25 fatalities in one week of fighting against Iraqi forces, I would have said “Highly doubtful.”

The war is going well, and the media has to accept that and report responsibly.

I would like to know what visitors think about these videos being played on Al Jazeera of Coalition POWs being interrogated by Iraqi forces… I personally have no interest in seeing them. The thought of what those videos contain and possibly what has happened to our soldiers off camera sickens me. We go to tremendous efforts to treat POWs in our custody humanely, we also do everything possible to avoid civilians and keep the Iraqi infrastructure intact so they can still have water and other amenities.

To hear about troops getting ambushed by Iraqi forces dressed in civilian clothing and feigning surrender is just absolutely terrible. I don’t want to see the videos. I don’t think I could contain my anger if I did see them.

How do you feel?

It has now been reported that a huge chemical weapons plant has been found by coalition forces!

This is a huge discovery. The U.S. Government has been right all along. There’s the proof!

This is great news to learn on my birthday! There is no place for doubt anymore - they had it all along.

Well, things are still going well. There have been some unfortunate coalition casualties. Iraq has made claims to have some coalition soldiers captured and killed. It’s terrible, but these soldiers will not have died in vain.

I just saw a story that there are some Russian arms dealers providing high-tech equipment to Iraqi forces and showing them how to use the equipment… I suspect the United States will be taking appropriate action on this matter as soon as possible.

Overall, the news on the war is very promising. Iraqis are very welcoming to coalition soldiers and are happy that Saddam’s regime is crumbling.

Those leftist parading around as anti-war protestor should look at this story. Fox News is reported the reactions of IRaqi citizens upon the arrival of U.S. Marines telling them that “Saddam is done.”

Here are some quotes by Iraqis recently liberated:

“Americans very good. Iraq wants to be free.”
“Saddam Hussein is no good. Saddam Hussein a butcher.”
“No Saddam Hussein! Bush!”

The so-called “anti-war” need to remove the political chip off their shoulders, and have a heart - the Iraqi people are happy to be liberated.

I have to say… Things are going well. There’s still debate over whether or not Saddam Hussein is still alive. If he is or isn’t, this has been a very successful campaign thus far regardless - certainly Saddam Hussein is losing his control in Iraq. At this point, I’m guessing we’ll have total control within 8 days. That’s just a guess.

So far, no coalition casualities. Iraq has deployed Scud missiles - with no success. However, I don’t think we should be celebrating too quickly. Saddam and/or his followers will likely hold off using their WMDs, biological and chemical weapons until more coalition trips are inside the cities. Hopefully they won’t get to use them - but time will tell.

I encourage all of you to show your support of our troops.

Well, its been an exciting day. There’s a lot to say, so much to react to. I am at work now, but I’ll post up some thoughts on Operation Iraqi Freedom sometime in the next day or so.

But, I would like to say, “so far so good.” We may have gotten Saddam right away. I saw the statement by “Saddam” on TV and I have to say I don’t think it was Saddam.

I’ve decided to create a new category during the duration of the war specifically for posting my thoughts/observations/etc. on the war. I’ll try to keep this updated. Bear in mind, this not a personal journal where I tell you about my life and divulge things that is not anyone’s business. It is solely to discuss the war, and for people to express their reactions as well.

Anyone have anything to say about the war thus far?
