Hero Todd Beamer was not the first person to use this
expression. Many World War II veterans were proud of the fact that they
had "rolled with Patton" during his onslaught through Europe. If Saint
George is in Heaven Valhalla and still waiting for his
next reincarnation, he is surely commanding fast-moving and invincible
M-1 Abrams tanks. General Patton also would know exactly how to handle
the "problems" in the Middle East.
Saudi Arabia is holding three female American citizens
in white slavery. (Where's Teddy "Perdicares alive or Raisuli dead" Roosevelt?)
Fifteen of the September 11 hijackers were Saudis. Saudi Arabia's Wahabi
schools preach terrorism and hatred of the United States. Saudi Arabia
(and Iraq) give money to the families of Palestinian homicide bombers,
thus encouraging terrorism in Israel. It's illegal to practice Judaism
or Christianity in Saudi Arabia, even in private, and conversion to one
of these religions is punishable by death. The country also insults and
degrades female members of the United States Armed Forces who are protecting
their medieval monarchy from Saddam Hussein-- who is another of the "problems."
Holding American citizens in white slavery is a prima
facie casus belli, a deliberate act of war against the United States. If
the Saudis do not correct it immediately, Congress should deal with it
as such.
