I know that we were attacked on Sept 11. I know the media can prove this.
I know that Al Qaeda trained in caves in Afghanistan. I know the media can prove this.
I know that Al Qaeda is still hiding in Iran. I know the media can prove this.
I know that Al Qaeda is still hiding in Pakistan.
I know that Al Qaeda is still hiding in Syria.
I know that Al Qaeda was in Iraq prior to the US invasion. I know the media can prove this.
I know that Saddam had WMD’s until at least 1998 at which point he threw inspectors out of Iraq. The evidence was there and the media has video of WMD in Iraq prior to 1998 to prove it. There are UN inspector records showing that he destroyed some of the WMD’s but not all of them. Without inspection teams it was reasonable to conclude that he still had them.
I know that we have found WMD’s since the war started. I know the media can prove this.
I know that Saddam’s Army folded as soon as we invaded, just like it was predicted. I know the media can prove this.
I know that American troops were greeted as liberators in Iraq, not everywhere and not by everyone but still greeted. I know the media can prove this.
I know that the insurgency was fueled from outside of Iraq by Iran, Syria, Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, etc. I know the media can prove this.
I know the civil war in Iraq was fueled from outside Iraq. I know the media can prove this.
I know that not everyone agrees with me.
I know that over 65% of Americans agreed with me when we went to war. I know the media can prove this.
I know that the media machine has turned that opinion against the administration, the soldiers, and the war.
I know that if we don’t stand strong then we will fail.
I know that we need to be united in the cause.
I know that Israel shows restraint and gets labeled the aggressor.
I know that Hezbollah takes cheap shots and then plays the victim card.
I know that Muslims are taught that they are being persecuted and I know that is not true.
I know that Americans made a choice to stay in the fight and voted for George W Bush in 2004.
I know that there are a lot of parallels to WWII.
I know that it took an atomic bomb to convince the Japanese that their cause was not worth dying for. I pray that it does not take an atomic bomb to convince the Muslim world that their cause is not worth dying for.
I know that Muslims want to die for their cause and Americans do not.
I know that the cause that we are fighting for is worthwhile and I know that I was willing to sacrifice my life to protect America and preserve the freedom in this country.
I know that being willing to sacrifice my life and being a martyr are not the same. I did not want to die but I was willing to, a martyr is willing and wants to die.
I know that Americans want to live in peace and not fight wars.
Finally, I know that there are times when you have to stand up and fight for what you believe in, and I believe in America.
