“Bush’s Irag Legacy”

Written by: Dr. Joseph Ozigis Akomodi


I am delighted to respond to an article titled “Bush’s Irag Legacy” authored by Robert Kagan and William Kristol dated November 13, 2006. I supported the article in many ways. I commended the Authors of the article for such analysis. However, it is imperative to bear in mind that Bush administration failed to do a comprehensive research before jumping the gun.

In the first place, we have no business in Irag that is point blank. The aftermath of 9/11 the whole world was behind Bush to go and get Osama Bin Laden and destroy all terrorist cells operative in Afghanistan. Bush administration decided to quickly use that opportunity to throw some shots on Afghanistan and then rushed out to fight Sadam. Sadam did not have any hand in 9/11. Just because we felt, that he had a different ideology from us we decided to get him out of power. Bush deceived the American people that we are liberating the people of Irag. How many world leaders have done carnage to the people they governed? How many African leaders killed and continued to kill their innocent citizens? How many of those Countries we’ve gone to rescue? The response is simple “NONE.” A two year old understand, that the only reason we went to Irag is because of their oil. The majority of those who attacked us on 9/11 were Saudi Arabians. What actions we took against the Saudi? The answer is “NONE.” No way… the Saudis, are our strong allies in the war with terrorists. “Kid Me Not.” If they have the opportunity to reduce the United States to dust they will.

President Bush also claimed that we are more saver than we were before 9/11. He lied. What efforts have this administration made to protect American people? One will argued that after 9/11, it is impossible for any plane to fly and crash in New York. A private jet just did few weeks ago. Where is the protection for the American People that he so claimed? We are still vulnerable just as were before 9/11. The budget he should have used simultaneously fighting the terrorist in Afghanistan and protecting our borders, improve quality lives and healthcare. He decided to use our tax payer money to fight special interest war in Irag. How many of our brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, uncles, nieces, nephews, sons and daughters died in Irag because of special interest war? There were so many of our youths died beyond my imagination. Then my question to President Bush is, when are we going to protect American People? Hummmm…may be after eight years in Office.

Our Soldiers could not win Gorilla war. What our Soldiers are doing right now in Irag is nothing but gorilla war. Our soldiers were not trained for that kind of fight. That is why we had problem in Vietnam. Please Bush do not let History repeats it self. We sent our children to the war front without adequate training for the kind of war they are now facing. We did not provide for them any protection at all. We limited the number of troops so that those who are there fighting special interest war are at risk. How many of our soldiers are disabled? How many are dead? If you think that American blood worth the sacrifice then you are mistaking Mr. President.

Therefore, I called on both the Democrats and Republicans to come to the table and find a lasting solution in getting our troops out of Irag. We should accept defeat bring our soldiers home until we adequately trained them to fight that kind of gorilla war. Our Soldiers are vulnerable because they do not know their enemies. Fighting a war you do not know who you are fighting is no war. Some of the insurgents killing our soldiers are trained by our soldiers. Please Congress Men and Women do not sleep until all of our troops are back to the United States. God Bless and in God we Trust.
