Glenn Beck: If we are directly attacked, so be it. But this must end now.
I'm sorry, what you're arguing here is that we should live on our knees rather than fight and die on our feet. I will not be willing to sacrifice the United States, its people or its future, for the convenience of "stopping now."
The price you pay, for "ending it now" overseas will be doing away with what America was envisioned by our founders. The horrors and atrocities being committed in the Middle East will find a way to America if we give up the will to fight.
That's what you're asking us to do. That's not acceptable.
Glenn Beck: Can't we come together on that? Are we not all a people that can come together on that?
Never. I will not give up the facts, and what the facts say we should do. Not so that we could come together with a bunch of people that are clueless about what's going on... and who don't know what they're talking about.
I refuse to join others if living on one's knees is what we should be doing together. I refuse to do that. I'm sorry, I will not quit when the going gets tough. I will keep going.
Glenn Beck: Wedon't want our sacrifice to be a waste.
I'm sorry, but if we do what you are imploring us to do here, our sacrifices would've been wasted. The lives lost would have been in vain. That sacrifice is part of the reason we have to keep going until we achieve our ultimate objective in this war.
Glenn Beck: Let me ask you this question: What good will one more life do? To waste one more life, what good will it do, to waste another dollar, let alone another trillion?
We must be willing to sacrifice more than just one, over the next few years, decades, or even centuries. That's what we have to do if that's what it will take to prevent us from suffering the holocaust that they're suffering in the Middle East.
Understand that if we do what you want us to do, to pull back and not to get involved, the enemy will cast its vote. They will not sit by and mind their own business over there. They will finish up their objective over there and then work their way towards our direction.
What you're demanding that we do is nothing more than demanding that we kick the problem down the road. You're trying to get us to embrace a solution that amounts to "hoping that we get eaten last."
So yes, we have to be willing to sacrifice as much lives as possible. To do otherwise is to invite the holocaust, happening in Iraq and Syria, to happen on US soil. Throwing the towel over there will virtually guarantee that Americans ends up suffering that holocaust in the future.
The loss of lives in this scenario would rapidly eclipse the loss of service member lives over there.
Glenn Beck: And conservatives, is there one that believes this President will prosecute a new war in Iraq properly?
We have to do something. Doing the bombing runs that we are doing over there is a lot better than what you are proposing.
Had the President given the military what it needed in Iraq at the end of 2011, for 2012 and beyond, you would not be here waving the white flag of surrender. However, since he did do that, we have to do something.
The bombing runs are a good start. We need to do something more substantial if the troops already on the ground recommend it.
Glenn Beck: When the biggest hawk of them all, the Darth Vader of the entire galactic empire, Dick Cheney and George Bush didn't prosecute it right? No.
When I combat deployed to Iraq, it was blatantly obvious that the United States and its allies won the Iraq war with a straight cut victory.
We can look back and criticize what President Bush and Dick Cheney and the others did to prosecute the Iraq war. There are plenty of examples, in our past history, where we did not prosecute wars properly either.
In fact, we came dangerously close, during the American Revolution, to losing. There were a lot of blunders in that war. Then, as now, there were a lot of times when what was planned ended up changing drastically. Patriots made several mistakes during that war.
Advance to the American Civil War. Again, I can point to examples where mistakes were made. Lots of lives lost to the American Revolution and the American Civil War because of these "blunders."
Today, we have the convenience of looking back in time and seeing how they could have done things better. That is not always a convenience that we have when dealing with situations that are happening "right now."
