The Abuses Done by a Small Number of our Personnel in and Toward Iraqis is Wrong!
It is also Disserving to our Interests, Goals, and Positive, Noble Aspirations and All.
Those Truly Guilty of such Transgressions and Wrongs, -Should Recieve from our System What they Truly Deserve, for Carrying Out and Commiting such Abuses and Wrongs.
I Don't Think they were Ordered to Do so. But if they were, -That Brings Up the Whole Matter of Who, What, and Why, -Any such Wrongly Abusive Orders were Given. Anyone Guilty of Such, -Should be Legally Disciplined for Such so.
This All Said and Remaining of our Kettle, -The Previous, saadamistic Iraqi Pot, was Far Far Blacker! For Far, Far, Longer!
Two Wrongs of course Don't Make a Right. And We All shud Remain to our Higher Levels, and NOT Sink or Stoop to saadamistic Ones Ourself!
But it's rather Strange to Hear All this Talk, of our *Comparatively* Few Black Spots on our Largely White Kettle. Yet at the Same Time, to Hear Little to None on the So Much Larger, and Longer Running, saadamistic Black Pot!
They were the Champs at this sort of Stuff! What Does Anyone Think has been Going On at Abu Ghraib!?, -All These Years from at least 1968 On!? As Well as All of the Many Other saadamistic and baathist Abu Ghraibs and Killing Fields Across the Iraqi Land?
It's Strange to See such a Spotlight Shining on this *Comparative* Upper Michigan Mountain! Yet None at All on the Towering Everest Right Next to it!
Still None of our Personell, -However Few, -Shud Emulate such an Everest!
Though All DUE Tuffness on our Part should Remain. This is No Time or Place to be Going Wobbly Soft!
A Minority of our Individuals, in Addition to being Abusively in the Wrong, -Have Greatly Disserved our All Round Cause and Efforts so. They also Ended Up Playing Right Into our various Enemies Hands.
Those Guilty of Such have Only Set our Image and Efforts Back All the More! They've effectively Added Rocks to the Pack, that America Carries on it's Back. This is NO Time to be Doing Such, to say the Least!
But even Without such a Wrong and Disserving Abuses of Late, -The Seawaves are High! And Against U.S.!
Things are Constantly Not Exactly Breaking our Way!
(Occassional Things like saadam and his sons, 4/5 of the Card Deck being Killed or Captured, and All of the "Quiet Good" being Done in Iraq, -Notwithstanding)
Were Trying to Do a Little Much with a Good Bit Too Little!, -Much of the Time.
Multiple Balls sometimes Come at U.S. rather Fast. Do we Have Enuff Bats to Bat All of them Away?
This Involves More than just Iraq, Afghanistan, or Qaida Style Terrorism. It Involves the Entire Arab / Islamic / and Mideastern Worlds as Well. Just Look at the Ever Present Mideastern Situation! And Perhaps even in a Larger Sense, thet Larger Third and PHRASECENSOREDPOSTERSHOULDKNOWBETTER. Worlds as Well!
(If Anyone Thinks PHRASECENSOREDPOSTERSHOULDKNOWBETTER. is Dead and has Passed, -One Only has to Remember that Nearly One Fourth of All Humanity, is Locked Behind Red / PHRASECENSOREDPOSTERSHOULDKNOWBETTER. / Tienanmen China's Bamboo Curtain! Sure they have a Good Deal of Capitalism there. But it is "Capitalism on a Leash"! The Only Means by which Chinese PHRASECENSOREDPOSTERSHOULDKNOWBETTER. Survives)
They are All Together Far Larger than We or Our Kind!
We've Got to Really Tighten our Belts, Get Down to the Business of Freedom's Security and Survival, and Work like a Dog Towards This!
Put our Silly Michael and Janet Jackson type Stuff Aside! We've Got a Country, System, and our Very Selves to Fight For and to Survive With!
It's Gonna Require the Six "We Must Do's" that I speak of.
Namely,
A) Our Very National Security and Defense. (And by "Our", -I Mean the Entire Free, Developed, and Western World, Not Only the U.S. Alone)
B) Our All Round Moral Act.
C) Our Economic Act.
D) Fully and Lastingly Keeping Up our Alertness and Resolve!
E) Our Sci-Tech Supremacy and Lead.
and
F) Some More of that Same "Love and Help One Another!", of our Fellow Americans, of a Spirit! As we've So Well Had in those Immeadiate Weeks and Months Following our September 11th Experience.
We've Got to Remember and Have, that Above "Warm Fuzzy". But at One and the Same Time, -We Have to be B-52 and Spectre Gunship Tuff Too! In these New Circumstances and Times as we Now Find Ourselves In!
The Tides being Against U.S. is Only Increasing and Continuing. The Rising Flood about U.S. is Only Getting Deeper!
We've Got to Have an Abundant and Plentiful Measure of All Six of These! We Cannot Afford to be Doing any Playing or Pussyfooting Around! We've Got to Have Abundant Forces and Resources Towards All of This!
We Have to Have a Rapid, Massive, No Bones, Global Airlift and Sealift Capability! One which can Transport at least Half a Million Men and All their Equipment, -Clear Across the World in Not Much More than a Day, -in One Go! And This 100 % Within our Military Means. No Pan Am Troop Transports, as were Rife within the First Persian Gulf War. Though a Civil Reserve Airfleet Backup shud of course Remain.
"Let's Roll" Up our Sleeves and Be On with All of This!
We're Only at the Start of this All! We're a Long Way from Being Out of the Terroristic and All of a Woods Yet!
For Decades, Thru Inaction, as Well as Wrong, Imprudent Actions, -We Let a Lot of such Horrors Fly and Grow!, Out of Such an Opened Pandora's Box. It's Going to be a While Before we Get the Lid Shut / Wrestled Down again! And Round Up All of our Batlike Opponents which Have Flown Out, and About!
I Think it's Only Going to Continue to Ever Worsen! For a Long Time. Before it *May* at Long Last Finally Begin to Get Better!
And if We Keep variously Lollygagging Around!, -That "May", -May Well Never Happen! We may so Never Get Up and Out of, -the Surrounding and Growing Swamp!
I'd Venture that you can Mark my Words, -That Such Tough and Only Ever Tougher, Tighter Times, -Are A' Comin!
So Let's Really Take a Deep Breath, and Really Be On With It!
NO Room to Pussyfoot or Play Around!
It's Gonna Take ALL of our Wits, Efforts, Resolve, Unity, and Might!
Don't Plan and Bank on the Forecast Weekend of Rain! No!, -Further Do so for a Whole Week, Month, or Season of Such!
If we're to Err Anywhere, -It Shud of course be on the Side of Too Much! Not a Caught Up Short Too Little!
That Too Little just may Not Cut or Do It! At a Time we're Going to Really Need It!
We CAN'T Afford to Play Around with our Very Security, Safety, and Survival So!
We're Facing a Year's Worth of Cold Rain, -Not just a Weekend! Plan and Prepare Accordingly!
This would be the Case even if Nothing Improper or Untoward Happened on Some of our Parts at Abu Graib!
Let Alone when it Has! -When Some of our Personnel have Wrongly and Seriously Disserved U.S. So!
They've Only Set U.S. Further Back on the Track! When we've Got Tons of Catch Up Ball to be Onto, in Any Event!
It's Getting Ever Bad and Worse! Our Enemies Only Ever Gather! We're Going to Have to be Really Facing and Fighting them Someday! Some of that Someday is Right Now.
Let's Really Start Working ALL OUT!, -To Protect and Defend Ourselves!
I'm Afraid it's Gonna Be and Get That Bad! Sorry to Have to Say!
So Let's just Be On with What we Gotta Be On To!!!
We Do NOT Need some of our Personnel, Adversely Setting U.S. Back!, -on This Crucially Vital Track!
My Personal Predicament Perhaps Continues. I'll be Hopefully Finding some Things Out in a Meeting Tomorrow. Depending on What Such is, -Hinges my Possible Predicament. As I Spoke of in the First "Program Note" within this Thread. I am Well Perhaps Really in a Bind and Spot! In case this rather Clear Matter Hasn't Dawned on Some. I've Got No Reply yet, as in Ways is People's Right. But I can Tell from the Views Column, that a Fairly Good Number of Us have been Reading Such. I am Hopeing that Things will Turn Out All Right Enough in Tomorrow's Meeting, -that I Don't Have to as Much as "Survival Strike Out on my Own!" But Tomorrow's Developments Shall have me so See! Again, -I Am Hoping for a Best! Here and Elsewhere, -I shall Post When and If I Can.
Whichever of the Two Breaks Personally for me, -Whats Gonna Happen Nationally with U.S., -I'm Afraid is as I Say and Fear it is!
As Another Fellow American, -This Will be Affecting me in One Way or Another too. I Want to Be "Survivi-Prepared" at such Situation and Time! I Urge Likewise of All Others, -Including All of Us Here. [color:"black"] [/color] [email]ScottRezaLogan[/email]
