In some instances, the fires may be forest clearing for new agricultural land. Our Mission is Finally Accomplished in Iraq? Anyone Care?clipped by: clip-on-tieclippers remarks: Here?s a great article from a vet on how victory in Iraq is going pretty much unnoticed. Is there any chance Obama will have some sort of celebration to mark the occasion? It might actually make him more popular. Not screwing up the progress Bush made in Iraq probably will be Obama?s greatest accomplishment. Well, in the least, now liberals have new things to say about war. Before, their commentary was pretty much limited to, ?This is just like Vietnam!? Now they can also say, ?This is just like Iraq!? Which I guess means the war will be really unpopular for a short while, and then people will lose interest, and when we win it pretty much no one will care. Well, we don?t care. But the Iraqis care. The enemies who wanted to see us defeated care. Yeah, I don?t think ?This war is just like Iraq!? will have quite the same ring to it. Our friends died in this cause. There is no honor in their death unless we complete the mission they died fighting. The ones that hold my contempt are those who, even today, know of the sacrifice made, the incredible progress gained and still will not acknowledge what was won on the ground in Iraq. What we achieved in the face of an implacable enemy, overcoming many in our own government willfully ignorant of our struggle, is what I believe to be the defining moment of my generation. The veteran today is the embodiment of what it means to be an American. Even when our valor was used for political sport, we continued to serve quietly. This is truly without precedent.
If you can?t bring yourself to give the living the sense of accomplishment for winning a war that many claimed was endless, at least humor the dead. Allow them to rest knowing that the war that took their lives was won because of their sacrifice. Is that too much to ask for?
