Bush Killed the Two Marines, Too?
By Michael Reagan
FrontPageMagazine.com | June 23, 2006

The Biblical book of Ecclesiastes tells us tells us there’s a time for everything, including a “time to love and a time to hate...a time for war and a time for peace."

There is also a time for rage, and in this time of war that time is now.

The bodies of two courageous U.S. soldiers, Pfc. Kristian Menchaca and Pfc. Thomas Tucker, were found Monday, and, according to CNN reports, "mutilated and booby-trapped." They had been so horribly mutilated with their eyes gouged out and their remains so desecrated a visual identification was impossible – DNA testing was needed in order to confirm their identities. CNN also reported that not only were the bodies booby-trapped, but homemade bombs also lined the road leading to the victims, an apparent effort to complicate recovery efforts and kill recovery teams.

That story makes my blood boil – and it should make yours reach boiling point too. More than anything else in the recent events in Iraq, this horrific outrage demonstrates with awful clarity the kind of depraved monsters we are facing in the war on terrorism.

It also shows why they must be eliminated from the face of the earth. They are a species with which civilized mankind cannot co-exist. During the Civil War when Gen. T.J. (Stonewall) Jackson was asked how to deal with the enemy, he had a simple answer: “Kill ‘em; kill ‘em all.”

The hideous torture and killing of Kristian Menchaca and Thomas Tucker should tell us that it’s time to adopt Jackson’s strategy as our own. Their deaths are proof that we face an enemy that will never cut and run, but will lurk in the shadows and strike out against us at every opportunity until they have been wiped off the face of the earth. Nothing else can guarantee the safety of the American people.

Incredibly in some quarters, instead of provoking rage - and a firm and renewed determination to prevail in the war against Islamofascist terrorism no matter how long it takes - this unspeakable outrage has been seized upon as an opportunity to make political capital out of a disaster of mammoth proportions.

The antiwar left in the Democrat party and the Bush haters in much of the mainstream media have been shameless in their reaction to the deaths of these two brave men.

How many relatives, for example, did NBC News have to canvass before they found a kin of Pfc. Menchaca who would take the occasion of his relative’s murder to express his anti-administration views? NBC’s Today Show found Ken MacKenzie, Menchaca’s uncle, who obligingly told NBC, "Because the U.S. government did not have a plan in place, my nephew has paid for it with his life." He added that the government should have offered a $100 million reward and offered to exchange mujahideen detainees for the soldiers’ lives. It seized enough money from Saddam Hussein to afford it, he said.

He had nothing to say about the brutes who murdered his nephew, and expressed no anger at them.

The Democrats all but jumped for joy over the sleazy opportunity they saw to exploit the soldiers’ deaths for their political purposes. Listen to Illinois Democrat Sen. Dick Durbin's comment that the discovery of the two mutilated soldiers' bodies is a "grim reminder of the price we're paying for a failed policy in Iraq."

Like McKenzie, he didn’t bother to direct his anger at the fiends who committed the atrocity.

Nor did he or any of his anti-war Democrat colleagues bother to note that the so-called “failed policy” in Iraq has produced 5 million Iraqi children inoculated since the U.S went into Iraq, or how many schools and hospitals have been built, the 32,000 teachers trained, that 20 million Iraqis now have clean water – all the positive things they or the media studiously ignore.

Now instead of the rage they should feel, these white-flag-waving Democrats are demanding that the U.S. set some sort of timetable for withdrawal, ignoring the fact that such an act would be a signal to the al-Qaeda butchers to be patient and hang in there and wait for the U.S. to cut and run.
Have they no shame?

Since the adoption of the Geneva Convention our Government has deprieved us of our mission capabilities and completions. We can capture the enemy but we can't save the lives of innocents by certain methods that our own enemy uses on the POWs they have. We can jail the enemy but we can't " MAKE THEM SPEAK " or we are concidered unjust and will be prosicuted by the very Government that sent us there. We can kill our enemy but only if they fire on us first and we have no other means of defense. We are to keep the peace in all areas but at the costs of innocent lives that we are there to protect. We are to fight our enemy but only within gentlemen standards no matter that they use Barbaric tactics. We are to support our Government but only because they need us to line thier pockets with the blood money forged from this War. We are to face indefinte answers and continue to believe the lies of our government but only because our government wishes to keep the blind eye turned into the voters booth. We are to do what is necessary to survive in an envornment of hatred, demise, and uncertainy of living another day but if what we do offends some-one else then we are to pay the price for our offending actions.

I could continue but you all get the drift. While we have been in jepardy our government has fund raisers for thier continuing to gain office. While we have supported our nation our Government has turned it's back because it is easier to act like the problem isn't there then to face the issue and solve it. While America is at War with two differnent insurgent styles in two countries all we hear about is debating on whether our government will legalize immigration or pass a bill on taxes and defending the Oil Companies against price gouging but never an answer as to when we will pull out or where Bin Laden is or why our government has spent billions of US Dollars on wasteful junk that hasn't improved our military or American way of life. Our Government wants a pay raise of 45% or higher for doing a little more than nothing but talk and argue amongst itself while our fighting men and women get less than 3% for putting thier lives on line and being forced to deploy 3-4-5 times without a real chance to relax and rest thier tired bodies.

If you ask me I will say that our Government as a whole is responcible for every death of American service members because they had no plan to begin with when they started this sh%t and still after 4 years have no plan worth a F%$# to end this sh%t. We turn to the Bible or the Quran or any other device availible to us for answers and Pray, or whatever else is out there, that our loved ones return home safe and sound. All the whiel we watch and hesitate to do anything against the ones who are responcible for sending them there and then not equiping our military with the proper equipment to defend them selves and when everything boils down some-one was offended and so our Government must find a scape goat to make it look like thier " GENTLEMEN'S WAR " is being fought within it's limits. Yet our Government hasn't spilled one drop of it's own blood to save America and keep America as we knew it growing up. The Land of the Free and the Home of The Brave.
