It takes a self-deceiving Evangelical to
be so intellectually dishonest as to bear false witness in a case that is
designed to condemn to death, not just one innocent soul, but thousands of
them.
This is exactly what David French did in
the column he wrote under the title: “A Tale of Two Battles,” and the subtitle:
“Fallujah and Raqqa are a stark illustration of the difference between fighting
sworn enemies of America with allies and fighting without allies,” published on
October 10, 2019 in National Review Online.
Like every activity in life, a military
battle has it gains and its losses. If you want to draw an honest comparison
between two battles, you either compare the gains of one with the gains of the
other, or compare the losses of one with the losses of the other, or compare
the full picture of one with the full picture of the other. What you cannot do
however, without engaging in intellectual dishonesty, is compare the gains of
one with the losses of the other, and call the first an example worth
emulating.
Responding to the instructions that came
from the Tel-Aviv/New-York crime syndicate for advocating the sacrifice of
American lives and wealth, thus give Israel maximum latitude to complete the
ethnic cleansing of Palestine as well as continue Israel's aggression against
its neighbors –– David French has stacked the gains of the Raqqa battle against
the losses of the Fallujah battle. In so doing, he opened the door for arguing
that American troops must remain in the Middle East. He did so without telling
of the real reason why this would be a good idea despite the fact that everyone
knows his reasons have always been to serve the Judeo-Israeli agenda.
And so, as you might expect, David French
did not come right out and said this was his intention. No surprise there given
that those like him never dare being honest. They are not, because they know
that telling the truth of what they want will get them nowhere. What David
French did instead, is invent a fake excuse for maintaining the American troops
in Syria where they spend lives and money protecting Israel while pretending
that they are making the Kurds feel they were not abandoned.
And while this farce is unfolding in the
Middle East, the evolving history of America's wars since the battles of the
Second World War, have left a legacy that continues to draw attention in
America, where the history is discussed in the context of what's happening on
the ground thousands of miles away.
Here is what happened since the Second
World War: The Korean and Vietnam Wars taught the Americans that the wars of
the future were going to be fought differently from the First and Second great
wars.
That's because it is one thing to fight a
regular army that comes with heavy equipment you can destroy, thus force the
enemy to stop fighting and surrender. It is altogether another thing to fight a
lightly equipped ragtag army that comes on foot, snipes at you when and where
you least expect it, then blends with the civilian population, forcing you to
come out your vehicle and chase after an enemy you cannot catch without
endangering your life and that of the civilian population.
This reality has forced the Americans to
design all kinds of new equipment and protective clothing that serve to
minimize the death rate among their soldiers. And so, war after war, the
Americans seemed to do better when the time came to count the bodies of the men
and women in uniform who died in combat. But there was a heavy cost to that
apparent success. And the irony is that the cost was never hidden to the human
eye; but hidden to the mind that refuses to look at reality and see it for what
it is.
That cost is seen in the streets of the
big American cities. It shows up in the form of veterans who may have returned
home walking on their feet rather than wrapped in a body bag, but they came
with mental diseases that made death look attractive to them. Homeless and
destitute, those who went to kill innocent civilians of a different race to
please the Jews of America and those of Israel, now wander aimlessly in the
streets of big cities, hungry, disheveled, maybe even on drugs … till they
decide to end their misery by killing themselves. They do it at the rate of
seven or eight thousand a year, which is comparable to the numbers that were
killed in battle during the Vietnam War.
These are the realities that David French
has deliberately overlooked when he stacked the gains of the Raqqa battle
against the losses of the Fallujah battle. It is an unforgivable exercise in
intellectual dishonesty. This assessment holds true unless you consider French’s
conversion to Evangelism a mental disease like any other; one that calls for
understanding, sympathy and pity.
