Greg Crosby analyzes why we’re going to lose the war against Islamofascism:
I am troubled with what I detect as an anti-war sentiment slowly welling up in our country instigated primarily, although not solely, by the mainstream media. It is depressing to me since I believe that we are engaged in a war that we absolutely cannot afford to lose – but we may indeed lose it, if things don’t change.
Some have made the statement that our present enemies are no more evil, ruthless, nor determined than was Hitler’s Nazis, and since we succeeded in defeating the Nazis, the thinking goes, we will, in time, defeat the Islamic terrorists too. Nice try, but I don’t buy the comparison; in fact I submit that the Islamic fascists we are up against today are by far a more formidable enemy than were the Nazis. Here’s why:
First, there are many more radical, Western-hating Muslims in the world today than there were Nazis in Germany during World War II.
Second, they are virtually a stealth enemy; no uniforms, no one country of origin, no central headquarters.
Third, they believe they are driven to this holy war by Allah. They believe their religion commands the slaughter and eradication of all who do not think as they do.
One of President Bush’s many mistakes was not declaring war on Iraq. Another is that he seems to be the proverbial deer caught in the headlights when it comes to the liberal media. We’re fighting a politically correct war. Who wants to die fighting a politically correct war? Bush says he doesn’t make decisions based on polls. I’m not convinced.
Crosby continues:
I fear our leaders are losing resolve. Secretary of State Colin Powell and Iraq Governor Paul Bremer has said that American troops would leave Iraq if they were asked to do so by the new ruling government — WHAT? After everything we’ve been through, after the sacrifices made by our soldiers, how can they say such a thing? It’s a weak statement for Americans to hear who want to see Iraq tamed and hopefully put out of the terrorist business once and for all. And it is the wrong message to send to the moderate Iraqis who want to feel protected and supported by us against the militant factions, not to mention the message it sends to the enemy that we got our runnin’ shoes on and we’re ready to split.
As I said before, smoke out snipers, flatten Fallujah and burn every mosque that terrorists are known to hide in. I admire Bush and it pains me to doubt him, but I do. Am I losing my resolve?
