Sick of Obama’s Iraq Opposition Hypocrisy

Sitting around decompressing after a long week surrounding the death of a family member, I was surfing the net and came across a website that has been tracking Iraq War casualty rates. It got me to thinking about Obama and his “opposition” to the Iraq War. I wondered how Obama’s beloved home of Chicago compares to a war zone this month.

This is for all of you who boo hoo about the numbers of Americans losing their lives in the valiant effort to free the people of Iraq from first tyranny and now terrorist oppression.

In the city of Chicago for the month of November 2008 to date there have been 23 homicides committed. In Iraq (the entire country mind you), 15 US soldiers have lost their lives.

All of the following homicides are considered 1st degree murder…

If Barry Obama was so concerned about the deaths of American servicemen and women in Iraq, why is it he seems to be unconcerned about the high numbers of murders being committed in his beloved city of Chicago?

In Chicago, no one is fighting to bring freedom to any oppressed people. In Chicago, there is not terrorist insurgency threatening the stability of the city. But in Iraq, the people lived under a monster for decades. The citizens of that nation were tortured, starved, and gassed at the whim of a madman.

I also have a few things to say about the perceived war in Iraq…

The war has been over since 2003. The entire country was under US control long before the surrender of Saddam Hussein in December of that year. The United States has not been engaged in active combat with the Iraqi Army since mid 2003 so referring to the US effort in Iraq as a war is misleading.

On a related note, just yesterday I read a story about a KFC opening its doors in Fallujah. FALLUJAH! Isn’t that the safe haven that took many US Marines to exterminate just over a year and a half ago? Seems like we’ve kind of won that “war” don’t you think?
