Not necessarily my views - or maybe they are - I'm not picking one side or the other. I'm simply passing on the spam that I got.
Once again Charlie Daniels speaks his feelings and once again he is right
on the money. Charlie needs to be writing for a major news magazine.
The Straight Scoop from Charlie Daniels
I've just returned from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba Naval Air Station base where
we did three shows for the troops and toured several locations around the
post visiting with some of the finest military personnel on planet earth.
The kids seemed to really enjoy the shows and especially liked "This Ain't
No Rag, It's A Flag" and "In America". We had a great time with them.
We saw Camp X-Ray, where the Taliban detainees are being held only from
a distance, but I picked up a lot of what's going on there from talking
with a lot of different people.
The truth of the matter is that this operation is under a microscope. The
Red Cross has an on site presence there and watches everything that goes on
very closely. The media is not telling you the whole truth about what's
going on over there. The truth is that these scum bags are not only being
treated humanely, but they are probably better off healthwise and medically
than they've ever been in their lives. They are fed well, able to take
showers and receive state of the art medical care. And have their own
Moslem chaplain. I saw several of them in a field hospital ward where they
were being treated in a state of the art medical facility.
Now let's talk about the way they treat our people. First of all, they
have to be watched constantly. These people are committed and wanton
murderers who are willing to die just to kill someone else. One of the
doctors told me that when they had Taliban in the hospital the staff had to
really be careful with needles, pens and anything else which could possibly
be used as a weapon. They also throw their excrement and urine on the
troops who are guarding them. And our guys and gals have shown great
restraint in not retaliating. We are spending over a million dollars a day
maintaining and guarding these nasty killers and anyone who wants to see
them brought to the U.S.A. for trial is either out of their heads or a
lawyer looking for money and notoriety. Or both.
I wish that the media and the Red Cross and all the rest of the people
who are so worried about these criminals would realize that this is not a
troop of errant Boy Scouts. These are killers of the worst kind. They don't
need protection from us, we need protection from them. If you don't get
anything else out of this soapbox, please try to realize that when you see
news coverage much of the time you're not getting the whole story, but an
account filtered through a liberal mindset with an agenda.
We have two fights on our hands, the war against terror and the one
against the loudmouthed lawyers and left wing media who would sap the
strength from the American public by making us believe that we're losing
the war or doing something wrong in fighting it. Remember these are the
same people who told us that Saddam Hussein's Republican guard was going to
be an all but invincible enemy and that our smart bombs and other weapons
were not really as good as the military said that they were.
They also took up for Bill Clinton while he was cavorting around the Oval
office with Monica Lewinsky while the terrorists were gaining strength and
bombing our Embassies and dragging the bodies of dead American heroes
around the dusty streets of Somalia. It's a shame that we can't have an
unbiased media who would just report the truth and let us make up our own
minds.
Here I must commend Fox News for presenting both sides much better than
the other networks. They are leaving the other cable networks in the dust.
People like being told the truth.
Our military not only needs but deserves our support. Let's give it to
them.
The next time you read a media account about the bad treatment of the
Taliban in Cuba, remember what I told you. Been there done that.
Footnote: I got an e-mail from a rather irate first cousin of mine the
other day who has a daughter who's a lawyer and she seemed to think that I
was painting all lawyers with the same brush. Please understand that I'm
not doing that at all. That would be like saying that all musicians were
drug addicts. There are a lot of good and honest attorneys out! there. I
happen to have one of them. But it seems that they never get any airtime.
It's always the radicals who get their opinions heard, who fight the idea
of the military tribunals and cite The Constitution and the integrity of
America as their source of justifying their opinions. Well, first of all
The Constitution says "We the people of the United States", it doesn't
mention any other country.
And secondly as far as integrity is concerned, I don't think some of
these folks would know integrity if it bit them in the posterior.
What do you think? God! Bless America.
