Hundreds of Billions of American dollars have been invested in the nation of Iraq, in order to eradicate terrorism and build a democracy friendly to the United States. The greatest cost to the United States was not the currency spent there however, it was the blood spilled. Over 4,500 American soldiers lost their lives in Iraq to ensure that this vision was accomplished. Their selfless sacrifice to establish a state free of terrorist influences and a democratic government friendly to the United States should be one highly regarded by our government. Unfortunately, our foreign policies and influence, originating from the Obama administration, has left an adverse impression. No longer is the United States regarded as a country United by a leader in the cause of it's people. It is seen as another list of countries that have self indulgent power grabbing leaders that desire their own personal agenda. In 2008, our leaders showed in the beginning as recorded on television and reported throughout the world that his regime would accomplish for the people what they were to stupid to establish themselves. Through the actions of Pelosi and the rest of the democratic controlled government for two years they told the rest of the world we are not any different than you. Obama confirmed it with all of the bow-down diplomacy throughout the world and men of violence took note.
President Obama has established through domestic and foreign policies his complete disregard for the wishes of the American people. Now, when effective leadership and foreign policy is crucially important, the blunders of the Obama administration has never been more apparent.
Through a report done by the Associated Press, one can read between the reports and put together the adolescence in diplomacy and communication coming from "Say it Ain't So Joe" Biden. When trying to pressure Iraq into not letting the Iranians fly supplies into Syria, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki replied we are just letting them fly humanitarian supplies into Syria. Knowing, that American influence in Iraq had waned Blundering Biden retorted. We know you are letting the Iranians fly in military supplies! The Prime Minister basically replied, Prove it.
Senators Lindsey Graham, Joe Lieberman, and John McCain visited Baghdad two weeks ago and witnessed the changes in the political environment first hand. Senator Lieberman recalled the sacrifices made in Iraq and noted the agreement made between the United States and Iraq in 2008. Senator Lindsey Graham blamed the Obama administration for letting the influence of the United States slip. He continued with an alarming statement saying, this region is about to explode!
One only has to examine the history of Iraq and Iran and observe the current political influences in the region to discover the overall dilemma.
With their strong convictions to bring about the arrival of their messiah these nations believe a holy war against Israel is the defining answer. These leaders will murder their own citizenry to establish this. Fundamentally, these strong arm tactics also keep them in power. They will do whatever it takes to ensure their control over the region and our self centered leaders focused only on an election will help it occur. Obama has the opportunity to lead this nation by honoring the sacrifice of thousands of American soldiers and preserving the Strategic Framework Agreement of 2008.
Demanding adherence to the agreement would also eliminate further slaughter in Syria where over 23,000 people have been massacred. Continued fly overs of war planes supplying the Assad regime will undoubtedly cause the deaths of more people. In the long term, provide the access needed to fulfill it's inherent and repeated desire....War on Israel and eventually the United States. With the continued threats of Iran and lack of concern over it's nuclear aspirations you might be asking yourself what can we do?
Israel probably gives us the greatest insight on our current situation. Israel believes the door for action is quickly closing and the prevention of what is about to occur is now too late.
President Obama and his stall techniques has created a gulf that may be to wide to cross. If Israel, and all the P.A.C. committees cannot change the current political stance of this administration it is foolish to think you or I can either. Obama has his own agenda and fueled with his egocentrical idea of his own greatness, listening to anyone is futile. We can continue to follow this arrogant fanatical regime and vote him in for another term or we can choose elect another leader that represents a voice of the people living and honor those fallen. The time of action for prevention may have passed in the middle east, however a call to effective leadership for the future has never been more dire than today. With Russia stepping forward today and warning Israel and the United States against a military strike on Iran, the platform of opposition has been identified. It is going to take a leader that won't bow to his own personal gains as well as not bowing to foreign aggression. The future looks to be very trying and if the need for cool thinking yet fast action has ever been needed it is now. Proper negotiations and diplomacy could have prevented this entire situation. If Obama wasn't able to do it before what makes you think he can fill the bill now?
