General Chuck Pitman
Semper Fi!
This 'Letter of Apology' was written by
Lieutenant General Chuck Pitman, US Marine Corps, Retired:
For good and ill, the Iraqi
prisoner abuse mess will remain an issue. On the one hand, right thinking
Americans will abhor the stupidity of the actions while on the other hand,
political glee will take control and fashion this minor event into some modern
day massacre.
I humbly offer my
opinion here:
I am sorry that the
last seven times we Americans took up arms and sacrificed the blood of our
youth; it was in the defense of Muslims ( Bosnia, Kosovo, Gulf War l, Kuwait , etc.)
I am sorry that no
such call for an apology upon the extremists came after 9/11.
I am sorry that all of
the murderers on 9/11 were Islamic Arabs.
I am sorry that most
Arabs and Muslims have to live in squalor under savage dictatorships.
I am sorry that their
leaders squander their wealth.
I am sorry that their
governments breed hate for the US
in their religious schools, mosques, and government-controlled media.
I am sorry that Yasser
Arafat was kicked out of every Arab country and high-jacked the Palestinian
'cause.'
I am sorry that no
other Arab country will take in or offer more than a token amount of financial
help to those same Palestinians.
I am sorry that the U. S. A. has to step in and be the biggest
financial supporter of poverty stricken Arabs while the insanely wealthy Arabs blame the USA
for all their problems.
I am sorry that our
own left wing, our media, and our own brainwashed liberal masses do not understand any of this (from the misleading vocal elements of our society like radical liberal professors, CNN and the NY TIMES).
I am sorry the United
Nations scammed the poor people of Iraq out of the 'food for oil'
money so they could get rich while the common folk suffered.
I am sorry that some
Arab governments pay the families of homicide bombers upon their death
I am sorry that those
same bombers are brainwashed thinking they will receive 72 virgins in
'paradise.'
I am sorry that the
homicide bombers think pregnant women, babies, children, the elderly and other noncombatant civilians are legitimate targets.
I am sorry that our troops
die to free more Arabs from the gang rape rooms and the filling of mass graves of dissidents of their own making.
I am sorry that Muslim
extremists have killed more Arabs than any other group.
I am sorry that
foreign trained terrorists are trying to seize control of Iraq and return it to a terrorist
state.
I am sorry every time
terrorists hide they find a convenient 'Holy Site.'
I am sorry they didn't
apologize for driving a jet into the WorldTrade Center
that collapsed and severely damaged Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church - one of our Holy Sites.
I am sorry they didn't
apologize for flight 93 and 175, the USS Cole, the embassy bombings, the
murders and beheadings of Nick Berg and Daniel Pearl, etc....etc!
I am sorry Michael
Moore is American; he could feed a medium sized village in Africa
.
America will get past this latest absurdity. We will punish those
responsible because that is what we do.
I am sorry that Barack Hussein
Obama may be elected president of the United States when he doesn't have a clue
on how to be a strong Commander-in-chief in a world filled with Muslim
extremists who will do whatever it needs to do to destroy the lives of
civilized people while killing innocent men, women and children in
order to bring a change that is beneficial to all Islamic terrorists worldwide.
I am sorry that voters
on the liberal left don't understand the frightening changes that are taking place
in the Muslim world
and what these changes will do to this world in which we live.
I am sorry that the
Democratic Party has been highjacked by Socialists and Communists right
under the very noses
of those who take pride in calling themselves democrats.
We hang out our dirty
laundry for the entire world to see. We move on. That's one of the reasons we
are hated so much. We don't hide this stuff like all those Arab countries that
are now demanding an apology.
Deep down inside, when
most Americans saw this reported in the news, we were like - so what? We lost hundreds and made fun of a few prisoners. Sure, it was wrong, sure, it
dramatically hurts our cause, but until captured we were trying to kill these same prisoners. Now we're supposed to wring our hands because a few were humiliated?
Our compassion is
tempered with the vivid memories of our own people killed, mutilated and burnt amongst a joyous crowd of celebrating Fallujahans.
If you want an apology
from this American, you're going to have a long wait! You have a better chance of finding those seventy-two virgins.

Lieutenant General,

Pass this on to your
friends if you agree.
If not, I am sorry I
offended you by passing on the facts.
