It is TIME!

I realize that the majority of my recent posts have clearly demonstrated a fixation on my part pertaining to the war in Lebanon and the actions of Israel, but I must confess that the geo-political atmosphere within this part of the world not only amazes me, it totally boggles my mind at times.

Here is a story from CBS News that caught my eye a moment ago and made me begin to think of a few things I want to discuss.

“CBS/AP) Standing in the midst of the rubble of south Beirut, Lebanese Prime Minister Fuad Saniora called the Israeli bombing campaign "a crime against humanity." Saniora toured south Beirut accompanied by Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, a Hezbollah backer. The area, a Hezbollah stronghold, bore the brunt of Israeli airstrikes during the month-long fighting between Israel and the Shiite militia.”

Why is it that every time the state of Israel does something of a military manner to defend itself from attack it is a crime against humanity? The Hezbollah can do whatever they wish in the media and nothing is printed of their actions or motives, only the response from Israel and it is always a crime against God or humanity.

Why is it the Hezbollah can stand within the middle of their cities launching one rocket after another into Israel and the moment Israel responds in kind they are the bad guys, not the Hezbollah.

Why is it that information has been filtering out the Hezbollah actually set a trap by placing innocent civilians, women, and handicapped children within that building then launching a shoulder fired rocket from within one of the windows at the Israeli plane forcing it to fire a missile to defend itself destroying the building and nothing, not one drop is mentioned in the mainstream media?

Why is it the Hezbollah can send special teams into Israel killing LDF soldiers and taking hostages, effectively starting a war between the two parties and once Israel begins their military campaign to defend itself from further action they are committing the crimes against humanity and being torn apart by every media pundit in the world?

Why is it the darned media cannot ever do anything other than take the sides of every terrorist, murderer, thug, killer and at the same time openly discuss state secrets and no one, not one person in Washington gets off their collective lazy butts and attempts to put a stop to it?

Why is it when President Bush works diligently to attempt to defend the United States of America from acts of terrorism he is breaking the law, bending the constitution or deserves to be impeached?

Yes, I am totally darned sick and tired of all this nonsense, all of the “he did this”, and “he did not do that”, and am fed up, disgusted and ticked off. Any politician with the grit who wants to defend this wonderful country from any attack is torn apart in the media and we the people are allowing this to take place without screaming from every rooftop that we are sick and tired of it all.

We had terrorists take control of our commercial aircraft and fly them into our buildings killing thousands, destroying the lives of families for generations to come and years later the media dissects every moment of every day of our President. Our Secretary of Defense is openly torn apart and ridiculed on the Senate floor by a want to be president whose only intent was to further her political career and the media says she did well.

The whole thing is totally disgusting and turns my stomach that this is taking place while our men and women in uniform are being killed and wounded defending the very country that is protesting them. Lunatics like Sheehan can protest our wounded men and women in military hospitals and nothing is said except she is doing a good job, poor Cindy, she lost her son. So did a heck of a lot of other Mothers and Fathers and they are not out destroying the moral fabric of our military, where are the media stories on them?

The direction that everything is moving is not only disturbing it is darn well freighting, we have not lost our way, we have lost our minds and the media is only reminding us each and every day that we are bad people, we are not supposed to defend our country, we are supposed to turn the other cheek and let more destruction happen.

It is time we voting portion of the country assumed responsibility for our actions and voted for politicians who represent this country and will conduct themselves in their office as Americans willing to defend this country. It is time we tell the media they are wrong, it is time we tell the Sheehan’s of the world that NO, they cannot protest at our military hospitals, it is simply TIME.
