Magical Security

May 21st, 2008 | By Sonnie

Got a question. If Barak O’bama or Hilary Clinton became president and pulled the troops out of Iraq, where would we get our intellegence? Now alot of my comrads have told me, we should bring our troops home and protect the homeland.

How? In the Politically Correct Nation in which we live, gaining intellegence with out lawsuits, is an impossibility. Now you have to remember Clinton or Obama is President. What are the chances of getting the Fiza bill passed with protection from lawsuits or plugging the leak in our border.

President Bush doesn’t get a pass in this arguement. He will have a huge blemish in the history books when they write about his border security, but with us not being attacked since 9/11 his domestic security will be amazing. Now that O’bama or Clinton is president and there is no threat of veto, fiza will be passed. The difference, the democrats will be calling on the telecom companies for records of Presidents Bush’s two terms. They’ll pass the bill, with no protection for the companies they count on for information. Smart?

Our borders will go unprotected. Well to be fair, that would happen even if Bush got another term. He bowed to the pressure behind his party, but not with the vigor that actually got a real solid border in place. We are a soverign nation and we have the right to secure our borders.

Okay, so where are we. We don’t have troops to back up our undercover agents and informants. Iran and Syria will realize the pressure if off them, and Isreal becomes a huge bull’s eye.

Now Isreal with have actionable intellegence and guess where we’ll be? In congress, holding hearings, trying to figure out what went wrong. We’ll be trying to regenerate and deploy troops, while we are still vulnerable to our now emboldened enemies.

I don’t think I’m an elitist, but I do think we are the World Super Power. Though we are not perfect, we have a society of rules and rights, compassion and tolerance. We should share that with the world. In the same breathe we can’t be blinded by Utopia. We have to remember our enemies don’t think like we do. So while we’re getting complaints about gitmo, our soldiers our beheaded on T.V. (And shame on any network that would show those images, and give them all that free publicity.)

Not only should we lead the World in trade, foriegn aid, and ideas, we also have to lead with force. We tell the world to trust us. We promise them security to promote democracy and we have to honor those promises.

Magical Security happens when only words are spoken. No one takes Canada or France seriously because they have no military. In the same way we have to take Iran, Russia, China, and North Korea seriously because they are increasingly increasing their military strength.

“Speak softly and carry a big stick.” Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Now we’ve used our big stick once. We showed the world our reach. They saw how fast we took out Saddam. Yes, we maybe in a pickle in Iraq, but I bet they remember Shock and Awe.

There is not Magical Security. Osama Bin Laden told us how to end this worldwide war. All we have to do is convert to Islam. There is not a chance in hell that’s gonna happen, so we have to fight. Not withdraw within ourselves, but continue to speak to the World, and use the stick when it’s necessary.
