The party line that U.S. troops are in Iraq and Afghanistan to "preserve our freedom" is the most over-trumpeted and inaccurate mantra coming from the Bush Administration.
We are not!
Our soldiers are there to further the cause of democracy and to bring freedom to people who have known only oppression. Period!
Every time President Bush or someone in general says “Thanks to the soldiers over in Iraq for preserving our freedoms,” I think “From whom?” Terrorists? No, no, no!
Thank you to the soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan for fighting evil, spreading democracy, getting dangerous weapons away from terrorists and their allies, ensuring that the locals are strong enough to deal with their own domestic and foreign threats, and for PROTECTING AMERICA’S NATIONAL INTERESTS!
Enough of this whimsical “protecting our freedoms.” From who? The only ones who can take away our freedoms are US. Not the terrorists. Us.
