It is time to tell the truth about Iraq

August 21st, 2005 by Carl Thomas.

I support our President. I support our troops. If we just went into the middle east to secure oil, that is fine. If we want to topple muslim countries, that’s fine too. I do not want the country to suffer defeat and I do not want our country to suffer embarrassment but it is time for out government to declare truth.

  • There are not now, nor were there weapons of mass destruction. We invaded a country for no reason.
  • The only thing the war in Iraq has to do with the war on terror is that it has given Al Qaeda a place to battle harden its troops and has incited moderate muslims to be jihadists the world over.
  • We are not winning
  • Victory is not in sight

    • My pastor always says, “It is never to late to begin to do what is right.” But the politicians have convinced the Church that it would not be wise to admit our faults. This is contrary to the Gospel and God will not bless it. To say that we are engaged in some sort of holy inspired campaign based on a lie is deception at its utmost. God is not the author of confusion.

    The Christian right (which I think I am a part of) has become so politicised that it has exalted its political ambitions above the truth.

    Though some will call it a political ploy, Republican Chuck Hagel, certainly no dove with his two purple hearts from Vietnam, said that the longer we stay in Iraq the worse, not better, it is going to get.

    Countering the argument that we need to stay there at least four more years he said,

    “There won’t be any National Guard left … no Army Reserve left … there is no way America is going to have 100,000 troops in Iraq, nor should it, in four years.” . . .

    Hagel added: “It would bog us down, it would further destabilize the Middle East, it would give Iran more influence, it would hurt Israel, it would put our allies over there in Saudi Arabia and Jordan in a terrible position. It won’t be four years. We need to be out.”

    That is the truth.

    I ask you this. Is Christianity your religion or your political affiliation?

    Know now that Cindy Sheehan is not an aberration. This is a cracking in the American silence and the church should not only welcome it but hunger for truth. We as the Church need to cry out to God that we will hunger and thirst after righteousness.

    Now, you can be a Christian and disagree with me about whether or not we should be in Vietnam Iraq. But if you cannot admit the truth about where we are at, you need a good spiritual gutcheck.

    God is really serious about that ninth line on those 10 commandments monuments.
