STR : THE FREEDOM BLOG

Friends,

Only a few days ago we shed tears remembering the unprovoked attack on the World Trade Center, six years ago. Amongst our sadness one clear voice rang out with a message of hope and a clear plan to keep America safe forever. But just as soon as George W. Bush’s brave general gave his report, the massed hordes of the drive-by liberal media set their character assassination machine into overdrive.

The liberal attack-group moveon.org published this hateful ad in the New York Times, the soddomite’s news-publication of choice.

But just who is General Patraeus, and why is it that all sensible Americans should believe him? Put simply, General Patraeus is one of America’s finest fighting men, a Christ-warrior who is steeped in the the Holy Spirit and has been putting his own life on the line since the day he signed-up to join the Army. Sometimes I think the media does not report on just who the real David Patraeus is, which is why I want to tell you this very personal story about America’s 2nd greatest patriot:

Patraeus: His battle-worn determination is un-deminished by the horrors of islamofascism. For David Patraeus, the ultimate field-guide is the Holy Bible. It is roumored that he always carries one hidden in a pocket in his camouflaged jacket, and that he consults it at times of strategic difficulty.

Back in 1977 David Patraeus led “Ghost Squad” a team of some of the bravest toughest fighters ever to serve the U.S. Army - famous for their ability to pull off missions considered too dangerous for normal forces:

This story takes place, one night, deep in Vietnamese enemy territory. After intense, deadly combat, his squad had hunkered down in fox-holes waiting for the support that they so desperately needed. David Patraeus took first watch, peering out into the thick jungle canopy for a the deadly, lurking evil of his communist foe. If you could have looked into that young man’s eyes you would have seen an intense vigilance and a clarity of thought which years later would make him one of the President’s most trusted advisers.

His men were running low on ammo, food and water - in short the situation was desperate. Worse still, Patraeus knew that the evil communist Viet-Cong had them surrounded and might strike at any moment. But in the middle of the dank, humid jungle night David saw a bright light approaching through the dense foliage - a figure like a man, dressed in glittering robes - glowing with a pure ethereal white light and on his back, a pair of giant dove-like wings. It was an angel of the LORD, who had come to bring an important message from JESUS.

The Angel spoke to David:

“Tell me, which would you prefer - victory on the battlefield tomorrow or eternal victory in the kingdom of heaven”.

David Replied, “Truly sir, it is written in the Bible that nothing is more valuable than the Kingdom of Heaven - if it is God’s will that we die in combat tomorrow then so be it”

“You have spoken well”, replied the Angel, “And you shall be rewarded. You bear the name of one of God’s prophets - a mighty warrior who slew a great foe and led his people back to God. Some day you will do the same.”

Young David slew the mighty golath - an inspiration to David Patraeus who like the original King David fights for God.

And in that instant the Angel disappeared without a trace but the ghost of the bright light in the future General’s eyes. Had it been a dream? Could he have imagined the whole thing?

At dawn, David rallied his men and told them of his vision of the night before. He ordered his men to take their weapons and use them in the name of Jesus to defend America, freedom and Democracy.

Almost at that instant, the entire squad heard gunfire and angry, malicious foreign-voices. They had been found. Instinctively the men got down to a prone position, all the better to hide amongst the rough foliage - all the men except David Patraeus who stood brave and defiant.

“Stand and fight” he shouted, “for the LORD has promised us victory over the our faithless foe” - as he let forth a volley of bullets from his assault-rifle, spraying the Forrest with the hollow-point rounds of God’s retribution. Inspired the squad rose to their feet and followed their leader, safe in the knowledge that every one of them was shielded by the armor of God.

Not one of David’s men were harmed, but that day his squad killed hundreds of the evil communists until only their leader remained, cowering in a ditch. Pistol drawn, Dacvid Patraeus approached the stinking ditch where the a mad-eyed bearded man dressed in rags and clutching Russian AK-47 gibbered and howled his beastly foreign words.

Death to anybody who opposes General David Patraeus: He fights for America

The in his thick , repulsive accent the communist spoke: “You may have won this time, but I shall be back”. And at that moment, the performed an occult motion with his arms and hands and abruptly vanished in a puff of black sulphurous smoke.

Years later David would come to recognise that evil face of the man in the pit: the face that haunted his dreams as none other than Osama Bin Laden, the most evil man in the world who would eventually become Saddam’s right-hand man and would indeed return to wage a war of terrorism against America, the land of Freedom, and whom one day George W. Bush would order David to hunt down in order to avenge the deaths of the thousands of Christian Americans who died in the twin-towers.

And how is it that I know all this? It’s simple - I was there. I was with David Patraeus when he fought the communists in Vietnam. I was with the people who were killed in 9/11, and I am with the soldiers now as they fight Osama’s troops on the streets of Afghanistan and Iraq, because I’m an average American, just like you.

Yours in Christ,
