Rising Hegemon
Those who count the increasing number of American soldiers killed in Iraq are missing the bigger picture, retired Gen. Tommy Franks said Saturday night.
"What we're talking about is neither 2,400, 24,000 or 240,000 lives," Franks said at the National Rifle Association's annual banquet. "Terrorism is a thing that threatens our way of life. It doesn't have anything to do with politics."
More than 2,400 soldiers have died since the beginning of the invasion of Iraq, the plan for which Franks developed and executed. He also oversaw combat in Afghanistan after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
"I watched as America changed," Franks said. "That's not near done. We have to secure ourselves. We have to secure our Constitution."
I guess we have to destroy the Constitution in order to save it right General? Not to mention the State Department has cofirmed that terrorist attacks have increased exponentially in the wake of those depths...but at least Iraq is now a democratic oasis in the Middle East. Oh, that's right.
And nice cavalier statement about lives...and about those other 237,600 lives you just sort of rhetorically sacrificed. Do you know something the rest of us will only find out later?
