First warning of the greatest threat to our country since former Attorney General John Ashcroft performed a song of his own composition called, ‘Let the Eagle Soar (Like She’s Never Soared Before)’:
Talk show host Sean Hannity will sing…
Hannity marks the anniversary of 9/11 by hosting the summer’s final “Freedom Concert.” Which means, yes, at some point he will sing.
First, he’ll host his daily WABC (770 AM) show at the park, 3-6 p.m., then he starts the concert, a wildly popular event that also features music by Lee Greenwood and LeAnn Rimes between remarks by Oliver North, Rudy Giuliani, Sen. Joseph Lieberman, Ann Coulter, Jon Voight, Newt Gingrich, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, and WABC hosts Mark Levin, Curtis Sliwa and Bob Grant.Proceeds go to the Freedom Alliance, which offers scholarships to the children of slain soldiers.
Yes, a lot of children will grow up without parents because of this war, both here and in Iraq. Although any one of these people could put their lives on hold and get a job as a private contractor it is not their place. That is for the volunteer military. The war celebs will do their part, singing our troops to battle, making speeches on TV, throwing a little public charity to the survivors of a war that never should have happened.

There appears to be a very broad understanding that our involvement in Iraq was a horrible miscalculation and error based on actions taken because of faulty information, and ignoring contray information. American presence in a failed state that was always a failed state and can never be anything other than a failed state has only exacerbated the pain for ourselves and at best postponed the inevitable dismemberment of that failed state. More than 3700 of our own have been needlessly killed and about 30,000 others maimed frequently with horrible efficiency. Another 20,000 with intact bodies have been emotionally scarred, perhaps forever. Each month 70-90 of our young soldiers meet death and close the books on lives that will never be lived. In ten years, those heroes who have survived will be almost forgotten and in twenty years they will be middle-aged and viewed as oddities–we are not kind as a people to our veterans.
The failure of Iraq is the result of a narrowness and hubris of an administration and its supporters. The failures of this administration comprise a list longer than the misadventures and mismanagement, a virtual “Hall of Shame” not easily duplicated in our Nation’s history. From this horrible war to natural disasters, to a failed economic policy, Mr. Bush’s record has been dismal. As a partisan for balanced debate, I fear for the future of the conservative movement and the Republican party as effective counterpoises needed for a functioning democracy. More importantly, I fear for our soldiers and a military so badly damaged now, and yet our shielding wall in a very hostile world.
Yes, it is good that we celebrate the service of our brave soldiers and their families. It is good that we raise scholarship money for their children. It is the least we can do and just one item on the list of things we must do before we forget them. But, we must also do everytrhing to let our views be know and we must bring this stupid waste of American lives in Iraq to an end.
