Last night during Fox's GOP Presidential debate the subject of Iraq came up. There was a spirited debate between Huckabee and Ron Paul which I encourage everyone
to watch. A short time later Mitt Romney explained his views on the war, that Iraq was merely the battlefield in a larger, global war against "Jihad".
"This is a global conflict going on, radical violent jihad.
And this battlefield of Iraq is a place where we have to be successful because the consequences of what will happen on this global battlefield are enormous.
And as we are able to do that [the surge], we're going to see ourselves able to continue in our efforts to overwhelm jihad."
Mitt got his terms mixed up. Jihad means "holy war" so a war against a war doesn't make much sense but we know what he means. He's using it as a code word for sovereign muslims who live on oil rich soil and who dislike Israel. I found Mitt's declaration to be Threat Level "Oh My Fucking God" alarming. You mean to tell me that this war isn't about 9-11 or WMDs or liberating Iraq from Saddam or even oil? It's about christians crusading against muslims? I always suspected that the Born Agains, christian militants and Mormons had in the back of their minds that war in the Middle East was the precursor to bringing Christ back from the netherworld but I didn't think they actually took that shit seriously, seriously enough to put American lives on the line, spend us into trillions of dollars in debt and destroy the Constitution in the process. When did this become a "global war" Mitt? Was it when Joseph Smith appeared to you and told you to nuke Iran? Frankly I want to vomit, vomit all over the podium where Mitt Romney declared his, and the other religio-nuts true intentions for continuing this illegal war.
