War Begins in New Orleans, Boys Come Home to War
In a desperate move to bring back order, President Bush allowed for some members of the national guard to come home from Iraq and serve on the homefront. Officials say these soldiers (carry m-16's locked and loaded, hardened by the war in Iraq and are willing to shoot to kill" some adding "and they probably will".
Did anyone ever stop and think that maybe the destruction of the one of America's most vibrant cities and the eruption of urban war will give the insurgency a renewed hope if it really is dying down to fight as hard as they could now that the U.S. is wounded. I mean look at the pictures of the superdome, they look like they came from a third world country in Africa with refugees of war. And I say Africa becuase most of the ones in the picture are African American. I truy believe that this reign of terror unleashed on the southeast coast will revive the insurgency in Iraq if it ever was "in its last throes" which I do not believe it is. It will strengthen and higher the morale of the insurgents why, a couple of reasons.
1. Forces are withdrawaing fom Iraq and heading back to the U.S. that in and of itself is a material gain for the insurgency and place U.S. forces at more harm due to less security personnel.
2. The Iraqi constitution has been rejected by the Sunnis, which will therefore maintain the people's support for foreign and domestic insurgents. This will also leave the country in limbo and for a while given recent events.
3. We are yet to find out to what lengths these looters and criminals are organized or even how far they are willing to go. I was flabbergasted! They situated snipers around the superdome!? Rapes are now rampant?!! They even have the gall to fire at police, and now explosions. I was told the drug trade there is very active but not to this militia like degree. I can only hope our boys coming back from Iraq will calm things a bit.
And in all of this, you have the mayor of New Orleans lashing out at the Feds saying they do not have a clue on whats going on in the city whom many say may never rise again. Bush also lashed out at the insufficient level of response...whoa wait, Mr. Commander in Chief, umm just one question sir...WHY DON'T YOU DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT MR. TEXAS NATIONAL GUARD!!!
