“One day an Iraqi general was looking for (someone) to actually translate between him and (the) American forces,” Benny Aldosakee told CNSNews.com. “He couldn’t find anybody, because everyone was scared. They were afraid to go and work for the military. So he asked me to go with him. I went back home, and I told my parents.”
In Iraq, Aldosakee explained, even a grown man has to ask his parents’ permission when making a life-changing decision. His parents were against his plan. But Aldosakee asked his father if he could explain why he wanted to work as a translator for the U.S. military.
“I said, ‘Dad, who do you think I’m going to work for?’ He said, ‘Americans.’ I said, “Who are those Americans?’ He said, ‘Americans are Americans.’ I said, ‘No, they are not only Americans. They are those people who sacrificed themselves, their blood, and they left their kids behind, they left their country – the greatest country in the world – and came here to give me freedom, so why shouldn’t I go help them to free my people?’ So my father looked at me and said, ‘Go, son. Go.’”
Iraq cost us, in money and blood. But, the effects of a free Iraq will help the whole world. This is true Globalism. Our President is loved by most Iraqi citizens. The slanderous media will tell you different, but the troops know the truth. Why do you think so many people over there are on their 2nd, 3rd and 4th tour of duty? Because, they know what they have done, and it is momentous. This might not be a popular article here on CURRENT. But I could care less. The Truth is George Walker Bush is an American hero. And....No amount of slanderous lies is going to change the truth.“One day an Iraqi general was looking for (someone) to actually translate... more
