Brig. General Jim Cash - Mideast assessment March 8, 2008
This is one of the most profound articles that I have ever read
about this
Presidency, this era and this so-called war. Everything this man says
makes perfect sense to me.
No matter your politics, you owe it to yourself to read and pass on
so we
all are informed of what's going on in our world!
Another assessment of where the US stands in relation to the Middle East
problems, this one is from the guy who had his finger on the nuclear
trigger for three years as head of our defense and response complex
buried
under Cheyenne Mountain at Colorado Springs. He was the only person who
could initiate a nuclear attack after advising the sitting president
of a
missile launch by our enemies and our need to respond. No political or
civilian type in the US had more knowledge about day to day military
actions around the world.
Everyone should find quiet time to read this. As far as I am
concerned, it
is exactly the direction we should go and the consequences of not
doing so
are well thought out.

Middle East Imperative
BY: JIM CASH, Brig. Gen., USAF, Ret.
I wrote recently about the war in Iraq and the larger war against
radical
Islam, eliciting a number of responses. Let me try and put this
conflict
in proper perspective. Understand, the current battle we are
engaged in
is much bigger than just Iraq . What happens in the next year will
affect
this country and how our kids and grandkids live throughout their
lifetime, and beyond. Radical Islam has been attacking the West
since the
seventh century. They have been defeated in the past and decimated
to the
point of taking hundreds of years to recover. But they can never be
totally
defeated. Their birth rates are so far beyond civilized world rates that
in time they recover and attempt to dominate again.
There are eight terror-sponsoring countries that make up the grand
threat
to the West.� Two , Saudi Arabia and Pakistan , just need firm pressure
from the West to make major reforms. They need to decide who they are
really going to support and commit to that support. That answer is
simple. They both will support who they think will hang in there until
the end, and win. We are not sending very good signals in that direction
right now, thanks to the Democrats. The other six, Afghanistan ,
Iraq ,
Iran , Syria , North Korea and Libya will require regime change or a
major
policy shift. Now, let's look more closely. Afghanistan and Iraq have
both had regime changes, but are being fueled by outsiders from Syria and
Iran. We have scared Gaddafi's pants off, and he has given up his
quest for
nuclear weapons, so I don't think Libya is now a threat. North Korea (the
non-Islamic threat) can be handled diplomatically by buying them off.
They are starving. That leaves Syria and Iran. Syria is like a
frightened puppy. Without the support of Iran t hey will join the
stronger side. So where does that leave us? Sooner, or later, we are
going to be forced to confront Iran , and it better be before they gain
nuclear capability. In 1989 I served as a Command Director inside the
Cheyenne Mountain complex located in Colorado Springs , Colorado for
almost three years. My job there was to observe (through classified
means)
every missile shot anywhere in the world and assess if it was a
threat to
the US or Canada .� If any shot was threatening to either nation I had
only minutes to advise the President, as he had only minutes to respond.
I watched Iran and Iraq shoot missiles at each other every day, and all
day long, for months. They killed hundreds of thousand of their people.
Know why? They were fighting for control of the Middle East and that
enormous oil supply. At that time, they were preoccupied with their
internal problems and could care less about toppling the west. Oil
prices
were fairly stable and we could not see an immediate threat. Well, the
worst part of what we have done as a nation in Iraq is to do away
with the
military capability of one of those nations. Now, Iran has a clear field
to dominate the Middle East, since Iraq is no longer a threat to them.
They have turned their attention to the only other threat to their
dominance, they are convinced they will win, because the US is so
divided,
and the Democrats (who now control Congress and may control the
Presidency
in 2008) have openly said we are pulling out. Do you have any idea what
will happen if the entire Middle East turns their support to Iran , which
they will obviously do if we pull out? It is not the pr ice of oil we
will have to worry about. Oil WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE to this country at
any price. I personally would vote for any presidential candidate
who did
what JFK did with the space program---declare a goal to bring this country
to total energy independence in a decade. Yes, it is about oil. The
economy in this country will totally die if that Middle East supply is cut
off right now. It will not be a recession. It will be a depression that
will make 1929 look like the "good-old-days". The bottom line here is
simple. If Iran is forced to fall in line, the fighting in Iraq will end
over night, and the nightmare will be over. One way or another, Iran must
be forced to join modern times and the global community. It may mean a
real war---if so, now is the time, before we face a nuclear Iran with the
capacity to destroy Israel and begin a new ice age. I urge you to read the
book "END GAME" by two of our best Middle East experts, true American
patriots and retired military generals, Paul Vallely and Tom McInerney.
They are our finest, and totally honest in their assessment of why
victory
in the Middle East is so important, and how it can be won. Proceeds for
the book go directly to memorial fund for our fallen soldiers who served
the country during the war on terror.� You can find that book by
going to
the internet through Stand-up America at
http://www.ospreyradio.us/ or
http://www.rightalk.co m/. On the other hand, we have several very
angry
retired generals today, who evidently have not achieved their lofty
goals,
and insist on ranting and raving about the war.� They are wrong, and
doing
the country great harm by giving a certain political party reason to use
them as experts to back their anti-war claims. You may be one of those
who believe nothing could ever be terrible enough to support our
going to
war. If that is the case I should stop here, as that level of thinking
approaches mental disability in this day and age. It is right up there
with alien abductions and high altitude seeding through government
aircraft
contrails.� I helped produced those contrails for almost 30 years, and I
can assure you we were not seeding the atmosphere. The human race is a
war-like population, and if a country is not willing to protect itself, it
deserves the consequences. Nuff-said!!! Now, my last comments will
get to
the nerve. They will be on politics. I am not a Republican. And, George
Bush has made enough mistakes as President to insure my feelings about
that for the rest of my life. However, the Democratic Party has moved so
far left, they have made me support those farther to the right. I am a
conservative who totally supports the Constitution of this country. The
only difference between the United States and the South American, third
world, dictator infested and ever-changing South American
governments, is
our US Constitution. This Republic (note I did not say Democracy) is
the longest standing the world has ever known, but it is vulnerable. It
would take so little to change it through economic upheaval. There was a
time when politicians could disagree, but still work together. We
are past
that time, and that is the initial step toward the downfall of our
form of
government. I think that many view Bush-hating as payback time. The
Republicans hated the Clinton 's and now the Democrats hate Bush.
So, both
parties are putting their hate toward willingness to do anything for
political dominance to include lying and always taking the opposite
stand
just for the sake of being opposed. JUST HOW GOOD IS THAT FOR OUR
COUNTRY?
In my lifetime, after serving in uniform for President's Kennedy,
Johnson,
Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, and Bush I have a pretty good feel for
which
party supported our military, and what military life was like under each
of their terms. And, let me assure you that times were best under the
Republicans. Service under Jimmy Carter was devastating for all
branches
of the military. And, Ronald Reagan was truly a salvation. You can
choose
to listen to enriched newscasters, and foolish people like John
Murtha (he
is no war hero), Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry, Michael Moore, Jane Fonda ,
Harry Reid, Russ Feingold, Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, and
on-and-on to
include the true fools in Hollywood if you like.� If you do, your
conclusions will be totally wrong. The reason that I write, appear on
radio talk shows, and do everything I can to denounce those people is
simple. THEY ARE PUTTING THEIR THIRST FOR POLITICAL POWER AND QUEST FOR
VICTORY IN 2008 ABOVE WHAT IS BEST FOR THIS COUNTRY. I cannot abide
that.
Pelosi clearly defied the Logan Act by going to Syria , which should
have
lead to imprisonment of three years and a heavy fine. Jane Fonda did
more
to prolong the Vietnam war longer than any other human being (as
acknowledged by Ho Chi Minh in his writing before he died). She truly
should
have been indicted for treason, along with her radical husband, Tom
Hayden,
and forced to pay the consequences. This country has started to
soften by
not enforcing its laws, which is another indication of a Republic
about to
fall. All Democrats, along with the Hollywood elite, are sending us
headlong into a total defeat in the Middle East, which will finally give
Iran total dominance in the region. A lack of oil in the near future
will
be the final straw that dooms this Republic. However, if we refuse
to let
this happen and really get serious about an energy self-sufficiency
program, this can be avoided. I am afraid, however, that we are going in
the opposite direction. If we elect Hillary Clinton and a Democrat
controlled congress, and they carry through with allowing Iran to take
control of the Middle East, continue to refuse development of nuclear
energy, refuse to allow drilling for new oil, and continue to do not
hing
but oppose everything Bush, it will be over in t erm s of what we
view as
the good life in the USA Now, do I think that all who do not
support the
war are un-American -- of course not. They just do not understand the
importance of total victory in that region. Another failure of George
Bush is his inability to explain to the American people why we are there,
and why we MUST win. By the way, it is not a war. The war was won four
years ago. It is martial law that is under attack by Iranian and Syrian
outside influences, and there is a difference.
So, what do I believe? What is the bottom line? I will simply say
that the
Democratic Party has fielded the foulest, power hungry,� anti-country,
self absorbed group of individuals that I have observed in my lifetime.
Our educational system is partially to blame for allowing the mass of
America to be taken in by this group.� George Bush has done the best he
can with the disabilities that he pos sesses. A President must
communicate with the people. And, I would tell you that Desert Storm
spoiled the people. Bush Senior's 100-hour war convinced the people
that
technology has progressed to the point that wars could be fought with no
casualties and won in very short periods of time. I remember feeling at
the time, that this was a tragedy for the US military. To win wars, you
must put boots on the gro und. When you put boots on the ground,
soldiers
are going to die. A President must make the war decision wisely, and
insure that the cause is right before using his last political option.
However, CONTROLLING IRAN AND DEMOCRATIZING THE MIDDLE EAST IS THE ONLY
CHOICE IF WE ARE HELL-BENT ON DEPENDING ON THEM FOR OUR FUTURE ENERGY
NEEDS.
