Its Baseball, My Dear Watson!

What are the clues telling us about America's entry into Iraq two years after the commencement of the War On Terror that began in the Fall of 2001? The destruction of the World Trade Center Complex and the attack on the Pentagon was the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back of the pacific era of the New World Order established after the phantom disappearance of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in 1989. That 12 year interregnum of Western consolidation and undisputed power of the United States came to a crashing end when the Twin Towers fell in New York City on that fateful and infamous day on September 11th, 2001 and now there is no going back. Western hegemony was based on a policy of commercial ties between the nations to tie the entire world together that would ultimately lead to political integration along the lines of the current experiment, which is currently in an advanced stage, of the European Union. The disparate states of Germany came together by a means of a customs union under Bismarck in the late 19th century and Western Europe today is following this same course that began with the EEC (European Economic Community) shortly after World War II. Europe was the prototype economic model for political integration and this model is currently being applied to Iraq but alas, something is not quite right.

Today with the advent of Islamic International Terrorism the means to establish law and order along Occidental lines is being completely untangled in Iraq. The Western way of life has become a liability in a land that clearly has been the battleground between those who wish to impose their own brand of an Oriental paradigm that is completely at odds with the West and those who wish to build a more Babylonian, pun intended, country that would be tolerant of all religions and political parties. What we are seeing in Iraq in the continued terrorist attacks upon the people and infrastructure is the failure of the Occident to come to terms with its own limitations particularly in regards to economic and political integration.

President Bush cannot take responsibility for this predicament. The facts on the ground are that America with United Nations backing invaded Iraq because Saddam Hussein and his Baathist regime dared to defy the collective will of the world! This defiance was at its nadir during the Clinton Administration during the 1990's but nothing was really done to correct this imbalance. The advent of 9/11, not big oil or Bush's alleged revenge motivation against Saddam, was the catalyst that changed the West's tolerance of Iraq's intransigence on WMD's as he was making a mockery of the world by his use of the Oil for Food program and other violations that simply were not being addressed by the United Nations. America as the Hessian of the West is the only nation that can globally enforce the will of the United Nations and thus it was America, as it always has been since FDR declared America the "Arsenal of Democracy", that invaded Iraq and deposed that evil dictator and his regime. No other nation in the world can do what America does and thus President Bush, unlike his Democrat counterparts, stepped up to the plate and hit a homerun with our offensive operations in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Unfortunately, the West in many ways is its own worst enemy.

The Left in both Europe and America wouldn't let George Bush run the bases after he hit the ball out of the park with the complete destruction of both the Taliban and Baathist regimes. Its one thing to hit it out of the park but quite another to make it to home plate. If I may extend the baseball analogy a bit further, President Bush made it to first base with Afghanistan and then to second base with Iraq. Third base is Syria and home plate is Iran however, George Bush every bit affected by public opinion as anyone else has been sitting at second base waiting for a signal from the world to go all the way to victory in the War On Terror. Sadly, the Left which is represented by most of Western Europe and the elites in America have not only told him to wait at second base but in fact wishes he never hit the ball out of the park in the first place! The debate over troops in Iraq and whether we should stay or go in other words is completely and 100% off the mark! We are sitting on second base and the only option is to steal third base and run to home plate to win the War On Terror. The Left, however, wants to forfeit the game!!! They think by forfeiting our position in Iraq and ultimately Afghanistan they will win over the Orient with our "open-minded" policy of moral equivalence in the sphere of foreign policy. The Left is drunk with the spirit of discontent and are booing and throwing empty beer cups at the winners in this game! What is Team America to do?

The reason America appears weak in Iraq is because America is acting in concert with the United Nations. Contrary to Leftwing opinion, President Bush is not acting unilaterally in either Iraq or Afghanistan. He never has. A United Nations supporting America would be a refreshing change and we would see America on the offensive again if the permanent members of the Security Council as well as the Democrat majority in the House and Senate would give us the signal to go forward. Right now both Iran and Syria are violating United Nation resolutions regarding their nuclear programs and their treacherous dealings in Lebanon respectively. What will the world do? President Bush knows what to do and has shown his mettle in this matter. The United Nations and a Democrat controlled Congress, not the United States or President Bush, has failed Iraq and ultimately doomed the Middle East to an Oriental Dictatorship in the form of a resurrected Caliphate.

The Age Of Israel

The key to understanding the future has always lain with the nation and people of Israel. Many a Christian down through the last 2000 years have declared that someone of historical importance was the "anti-Christ" or some event was the beginning of woes or worse yet they thought something calamitous was the "end of times". I know some Christians thought that Hitler was the anti-Christ and certainly he did a lot of bad things however, as history now clearly shows he was not the anti-Christ of the book of Revelation. And not just Hitler, even Napoleon was considered a prime suspect and the Mongols themselves were thought of as something straight from the pit of hell. Some foolish Christians have even sold their worldly possessions and awaited the Rapture on some mountain or hill only to be sorely disappointed. The primary reason for all these "educated" guesses going awry was the fact that they completely left out of their equation Christ's second royal family, righteous Israel. Christ's first royal family is the Trinity in which Jesus Christ shares his divine essence with God the Father and God the Spirit. His third royal family is the Church.

In order for there to be an "Anti-Christ" then there must be a nation called Israel with Jerusalem as its capital. For there to be a "False Prophet" there must be a nation called Israel. For there to be a number given to men which is 666 there must be a nation called Israel. For there to be a Second Advent of Christ there must be a nation called Israel. None of these prophetical events will take place without the nation of Israel being in existence hence the need by many a diabolical characters throughout history that have attempted to stamp out the name and people we call Israel. In fact, if Israel ceases to exist then God will have failed his people and broken his word to give Israel their place among the nations with both a Divine King and a Divinely established territorial boundary right on the axis of the Eurasian-African Continental system. Therefore, we must conclude that the resurrection of the nation of Israel in 1947 A.D. as being a harbinger of great things to come and is a signpost telling us the way to the future. In fact, the rebirth of this ancient nation now opens a door for one age to begin and closes another door for one age to end.

Yes, Israel is currently a socialist nation. Yes, the founders were Zionists who did not practice Judaism and themselves very atheistic. Yes, the vast majority of Jews today have come to Israel in unbelief. They will however be spiritually refined as gold is refined in fire to make more pure. They may not believe today but tomorrow they will serve their God:

15 The word of the LORD came to me: 16 "Son of man, take a stick of wood and write on it, 'Belonging to Judah and the Israelites associated with him.' Then take another stick of wood, and write on it, 'Ephraim's stick, belonging to Joseph and all the house of Israel associated with him.' 17 Join them together into one stick so that they will become one in your hand.

18 "When your countrymen ask you, 'Won't you tell us what you mean by this?' 19 say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am going to take the stick of Joseph—which is in Ephraim's hand—and of the Israelite tribes associated with him, and join it to Judah's stick, making them a single stick of wood, and they will become one in my hand.' 20 Hold before their eyes the sticks you have written on 21 and say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will take the Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from all around and bring them back into their own land. 22 I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. There will be one king over all of them and they will never again be two nations or be divided into two kingdoms. 23 They will no longer defile themselves with their idols and vile images or with any of their offenses, for I will save them from all their sinful backsliding, [b] and I will cleanse them. They will be my people, and I will be their God.

24 " 'My servant David will be king over them, and they will all have one shepherd. They will follow my laws and be careful to keep my decrees. 25 They will live in the land I gave to my servant Jacob, the land where your fathers lived. They and their children and their children's children will live there forever, and David my servant will be their prince forever. 26 I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant. I will establish them and increase their numbers, and I will put my sanctuary among them forever. 27 My dwelling place will be with them; I will be their God, and they will be my people. 28 Then the nations will know that I the LORD make Israel holy, when my sanctuary is among them forever.' " Eze 37:15-28


How did it come to be that Israel would suffer such calamity in the first place? Why would their nation, the apple of God's eye, come to be occupied by foreign armies and their people dispersed to the four corners of the world? Once again, free-will runs it course even if it means his own royal family may suffer:

7 "Lord, you are righteous, but this day we are covered with shame—the men of Judah and people of Jerusalem and all Israel, both near and far, in all the countries where you have scattered us because of our unfaithfulness to you. 8 O LORD, we and our kings, our princes and our fathers are covered with shame because we have sinned against you. 9 The Lord our God is merciful and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him; 10 we have not obeyed the LORD our God or kept the laws he gave us through his servants the prophets. 11 All Israel has transgressed your law and turned away, refusing to obey you. Dan 9:7-11

This was written when Daniel the Prophet was under Chaldean servitude and which he anticipated the return of the Jew to Israel after the fall of the Chaldeans to the Medo-Persians. Daniel would come to understand that for Israel, God had decreed that they should endure a certain number of years in a servile position to other nations of the world until Christ would return and set them free from this political bondage. Their first breath of freedom would come at a price in that they would not truly be "independent" but made a slave to the whims of other nations. The first nation to establish this precedent would be Persia under the ruler "Darius the Mede". Israel's punishment for their national unbelief would be physical and political slavery to the great empires of the world beginning with Persia then followed by the Greeks and then finally servitude to the Roman Empire. This political dependence was a national disgrace for the Jew and served as a governor upon their sins at a federal level. This divine punishment would last exactly 490 years divided by 70 weeks of seven years each:

24 "Seventy 'sevens' are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy. Dan 9:24

The beginning of the 70 weeks starts on 445 B.C. and should have lasted 490 years of 360 days for each year before Messiah returned to restore Israel to her prophetical glory. However, there would be a "time-out" called by God before the completion of the last week of this divine time table.

25 "Know and understand this: From the issuing of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the ruler, comes, there will be seven 'sevens,' and sixty-two 'sevens.' It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble. 26 After the sixty-two 'sevens,' the Anointed One will be cut off and will have nothing. The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed. Dan 9:25-26

So from the "issuing of the decree to rebuild Jerusalem" under Darius the Mede of Persia until the "Anointed One" comes shall be 7 weeks plus 62 weeks totaling 69 weeks of seven years each. The Anointed One is Jesus Christ however he is crucified by Rome and is "cut off" and will have nothing. The number of years between these two events, both within the confines of Jerusalem, is 483 years of 69 weeks. The times of trouble as mentioned above is Israel's slavery to the great empires of the world. Which is why the Jew was ready for the "Second Advent" of physical and political Independence instead of Christ's "First Advent" which was for "spiritual" independence by Christ's work upon the Cross.

The Jews were at first very receptive to the Anointed One, Jesus Christ, however as time went on it became clearer that Jesus Christ was not here to break their bondage from political slavery but to become the lamb that taketh away the sins of the world. This revelation obviously didn't sit well with those who did not understand the timetable of punishment that God ordained for Israel in the book of Daniel 483 years before. Israel's rejection of the Anoited One halted the prophetical clock at the 69th week of their ordeal. Thus from the order to rebuild Jerusalem on March 14th 445 B.C. to the cutting off of the Anointed One (Crucifixion of Christ) on April 2nd 30 AD, we have a sequential period of 483 years exactly to the day. The eminent Clarence Larkin describes how we arrive at this date more succinctly:

"According to ordinary chronology, the 475 years from BC 445 to AD 30 are "solar" years of 365 days each. Now counting the years from BC 445 to AD 30, "inclusively", we have 476 solar years. Multiplying these 476 years by 365 (the number of days in a solar year), we have 173,740 days, to which add 119 days for leap years, and we have 173,859 days. Add to these 20 days inclusive from March 14th to April 2nd, and we have 173,879 days. Divide these days by 360 (per Gen 7:11-24; 8:3-4) and we have 483 years all to one day. Could there be anything more conclusive to prove that Daniel's 69 weeks ran out on April 2nd AD 30, the day Jesus rode in triumph into the City of Jerusalem?"

Its not really necessary to know the exact accounting of the days but I wanted to show you how precise Daniels revelation was of the coming Messiah and how he would be "cut off". The cutting off was the part most Jews could not or would not understand when Christ was sent to Pilate to be judged as a political instigator against Caesar. 40 years after this event the Romans would march on Jerusalem and completely destroy this city and its centrality to the Jewish people. "Wars and desolations" refers to the new age that the Church would then fill. Since then the 70th week of Israels punishment has been held in abeyance.

The Church Age will sometime come to a close and then the last week of Israel's punishment and humiliation as a slave to the worlds great empires shall resume:

He will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven.' In the middle of the 'seven' he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing of the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him. Dan 9:27

"He" in this case is the Anti-Christ. Once again without the nation of Israel then none of these prophetic events could take shape. The last week of Daniel's 70 weeks is known as the Tribulation. The 70th week will not resume until the Church is caught out and removed from harms way. Then the Age of Israel will resume until the Second Advent of Christ just a mere 7 years later. Then the punishment of Israel for their sins will be relieved and then the Millennial reign of Christ will bring Israel a period of peace and international influence never seen before in human history.

All things come full circle eventually. Just as Rome sealed Israels doom on the 69th week of their punishment in history so it shall be a resurrected Rome in the future that tiny Israel shall endure their tribulation on their last and final 70th week. Between these two weeks, the 69th and the 70th, we have had the Age of the Church that has lasted nearly 2000 years so far. The next prophetical event is the Rapture of the Church and then the Age of Israel will finally resume with its spectacular conclusion in the valley of Megiddo which is Armageddon.

Declaration of Independence

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise; the state remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

He has endeavored to prevent the population of these states; for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migration hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands.

He has obstructed the administration of justice, by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers.

He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies without the consent of our legislature.

He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to civil power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation:

For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by mock trial, from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these states:

For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing taxes on us without our consent:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury:

For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses:

For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neighboring province, establishing therein an arbitrary government, and enlarging its boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule in these colonies:

For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, and altering fundamentally the forms of our governments:

For suspending our own legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated government here, by declaring us out of his protection and waging war against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burned our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy of the head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow citizens taken captive on the high seas to bear arms against their country, to become the executioners of their friends and brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare, is undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.Nor have we been wanting in attention to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, in peace friends.

We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name, and by the authority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare, that these united colonies are, and of right ought to be free and independent states; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the state of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as free and independent states, they have full power to levey war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent states may of right do. And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.

Premise For Invasion

Of all of my major beef's with President Bush regarding domestic policy and many aspects of his foreign policy, Operation Iraqi Freedom has not been one of them. In fact, I feel that OIF was executed quite properly and the results from them exceeded anything that I or any of the commentariat predicted (you know, Baghdad would become Stalingrad for the US). I believe and still do that Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld was unjustifiably attacked by the Networks and the Newspapers because he was the man that represented the achievements of our military in our victorious assaults upon the Taliban in Kabul and the Baathists in Baghdad and they working pro bono for the Left if not the Democrat Party, thus decided Rumsfeld was marked for political destruction. I believe history will prove Donald Rumsfeld the great leader that he was in time.

The Doctrine of Preemption as espoused by President Bush after September 11th, 2001 is the sole reason why we have not been attacked by Al Qaida in the USA. We have the means to execute our will against our enemies anywhere in the world as we see fit. The fact that we went to Afghanistan and Iraq, both areas of the world that are wild and unpredictable in their own ways shows our enemies that there is no clime and place so far removed that we will not come after them in force. The fact that there was a Republican in the Oval Office at the time of this Satanic attack upon our country is critical in understanding the operational tempo of the Islamic Jihad against America.

Of course there have been other smaller and less organized attacks upon us since 9/11 but not on the scale of that notorious day. If a democrat should take over the White House, I'm quite convinced that the tempo of terror attacks against America will increase substantially. We have seen in Iraq and Afghanistan an increase of attacks upon our armed forces since the mid-term election in 2006 when Democrats took both houses of Congress from the Republicans and that was before the so called "surge" in Baghdad was implemented. Its no secret to terrorists around the world that Democrats do not want to wage war against the International Islamic Jihad and therefore will time their attacks in conjunction with Democrat initiatives in the halls of Congress to expedite just such a retreat from Mesopotamia. The Press, Terrorists and the Left (aka PTL Club) are still working together whether in the abstract such as the negative media coverage of the war or by actual physical means such as the terrorist attacks upon us here at home or against our troops on the front or in politics such as the leftwing initiative in Congress to squash the American offensive .

Most importantly of all the premise for invasion is what has been under assault by everyone who believes that America is on the wrong side of history. From Jimmy Carter to Osama Bin Laden they seek to overthrow the path to victory: Offensive Warfare. Everything from Declarations of War to authorizations of war to so called "surges" must be torn down by the minions of darkness who would be no more happier to see America reduced to a political and military midget like that of a Switzerland. Perhaps the first casualty of war is "truth" but lets not go overboard here. Thankfully, the truth remains out there to those who will accept its tenet: accept it for what it is than for what you want it to be.

Let us review the premise for invasion and accept the truth for what it is.
