I recently posted an article written by my
friend Capt. Ron Hayes, who is stationed in
Iraq
. His validity was questioned by liberals, because they didn't want any
credibility to be given to what Capt. Hayes said in that article.
Lt. Colonel Roy Steed at the Pentagon, at
the request of an old buddy, now a private investigator in Oklahoma, was
able to quickly confirm Capt. Hayes existence, location, and that he is
the author of this article.
It has gotten great interest on the web,
but now everyone is writing me asking how we can get it in the mainstream
media.
My hope is that a flood of requests to
cover this story will force the mainstream to follow it up and let the
American people see for themselves how the troops on the ground in Iraq
feel about George Bush, and Bush policies in Iraq.
Thanks for your help!

US
soldier in
Iraq
responds to 1st Debate!
Letter
to the American people from a soldier in
Iraq
,
In
response to the 1st Presidential debate!
The
1st debate in the campaign for presidency of the
United States
raised some crucial issues that are still a cause for confusion to the
American people. I decided
it’s time for a viewpoint from someone who is in the middle of this war
and has no room for debating this issue.
I
have been in
Iraq
almost 9 months and I have seen the good and the bad of this war.
Terrorists from other regions have been “pouring over the
borders”, but certainly not for the first time. They are making contact
with other members of Al Qaeda and other terrorist supporters on the
inside of
Iraq
.
There
are many tribes in the Sunni Triangle that openly invite foreign
terrorists and provide refuge to those who join and help them.
Tribes that are so dedicated to their cause of preventing a free
Iraq
, a Middle Eastern US ally, that even amid extreme impoverished living
conditions, they will not respond to rewards offered for key Al Qaeda
leaders.
25
million US dollars for Zarqawi should be enough to influence someone to
provide information on his whereabouts, but apparently it’s not.
The roots of terrorism run deep with some tribes in the Sunni
triangle in
Iraq
. Terrorism was not born
when the
US
rolled in on March 19th, 2003!
Terrorism has been networked across the globe, and
Iraq
has been a major hub for terrorist activity long before we arrived.
The
1st debate between Bush and Kerry has highlighted a chasm
between the two campaigns, more importantly, the two men regarding the
question of Iraq and its role in terrorism.
This is a split that is impossible to comprehend from where I
stand!
Of
course the war in Iraq is part of the war on terror!
When Senator John Kerry said “the president made a colossal error
of judgment by diverting attention from the war on terrorism and the hunt
for terrorist leader Osama Bin Laden”, he could not be more wrong.
When
Senator Kerry said that “Mr. Bush was not candid with the public about
his reasons for invading Iraq or the difficult fight ahead”, besides
exhibiting a poor memory, he showed an incredible lack of ability to see
that no mission will ever go exactly as you plan it.
A
candidate for the US presidency ought to know that your enemy is going to
have something to say about how the fight is fought. The enemy is going to
do the unexpected, and plans will change.
I am sorry that it’s not an ideal scenario for Senator Kerry, but
no war is.
I
am repeatedly asked what the soldiers feel about the war in Iraq.
Soldiers in the US armed forces come in all shapes and sizes and
viewpoints. I don’t pretend
to speak for all soldiers, but I do believe that most men and women in
today’s military share something very close to these same beliefs.
Most
soldiers here believe in the mission in Iraq.
They know, like I do, that the former regime in Iraq was an
important component in the war on Terror. There is no doubt that terrorist
cells have been allowed to operate within these borders for some time, and
that Hussein’s regime most likely provided financial support as well!
Do
the soldiers want to be here? I
have not met a soldier yet that does not want to come home, who
wouldn’t? But they do believe in this mission.
Most soldiers believe that it is imperative to keep the mission
going at least until security is established in Iraq.
There
is no greater dishonor to the 1350 plus coalition and contractor deaths,
and over 7,000 wounded men and women, than to plan a retreat before a
reasonable assurance for the success of the new Iraqi government can be
attained.
I
don’t know where this concept of get in and get out was started, but
sometimes wars are not accommodating to that theory. The
United States has earned a poor reputation for resolve to finish the job,
and it’s time the proponents of that trend, like Senator Kerry, realize
it and correct it by stopping their efforts to politicize our mission.
Kerry’s
message to the troops was, “Help is on the way” In what form Senator
Kerry?
You
have alienated the coalition countries that we fight beside every day.
You cannot articulate a plan for success, and you have no grasp
that this war was even necessary. Thanks,
but no thanks!
"Wrong
War, Wrong Place, Wrong Time?" You tell that story to the millions of
impoverished, and persecuted Iraqi people who for the past generation have
lived with the fear of being marched out into the desert and shot for
their beliefs.
You
tell that story to the families of those bodies recovered from the dozens
of mass graves throughout Iraq. Try to sell that load of bull to the
little kids who were denied access to their water in the Marshlands of
Iraq and left to starve to death. Sell
it to someone else, but not me!
Senator
Kerry sent a message to the American people in his closing remarks that
said that he will “get your kids home and get the job done and win the
peace”.
I
am a 38 year old man who joined the military 18 years ago, and I have yet
to find a “kid” in Uniform from the United States.
I have however found many good young men and women who are proudly
serving their country.
Men
and Women from all over the United States have joined the military of
their own free will, knowing that one day they may be asked to put their
lives in harms way. Very few
of these men and women want to be here, it’s just a commitment that we
made, and one that we intend to honor.
I
sincerely hope that you enjoy your moment in the spotlight Senator Kerry!
I know that in the end, the bull that you have been selling to the
American people will be recognized and that the voters will let you know
what they think of it come November.
American’s
need a president who will make sound decisions, and not be afraid of what
the global community thinks. That
man is already in office, and will remain in office for four more years!
Captain
Ron Hayes

Army, Iraq

2nd.
