**Johnny Ain't Never Marching Home (Throw Away the Yellow Ribbons)
International Politics by Chuck Baldwin July 21, 2003
In spite of the fact that our brave fighting men have now assumed the unflattering role of Iraqi policemen, the word from The Pentagon is, "Our troops are not coming home anytime soon." That's the understatement of the year!
The truth is, our troops are never coming home! The United States currently has military personnel in nearly 120 countries around the world, and President Bush is about to make it one more as he prepares to send troops to Liberia.
The forces that fought the war against Iraq are understandably chagrined. Soldiers from the 3rd Infantry Division in Iraq voiced their grievances on ABC's Good Morning America recently. One soldier declared, "If [Defense Secretary] Donald Rumsfield were here, I'd ask for his resignation." He continued by saying, "I would ask him why we are still here. I don't have a clue as to why we are still in Iraq."
What the brave soldier and many Americans do not understand is the United States is no longer an independent country. It is a global empire carrying out the whims and wishes of the internationalist cabal at the United Nations. Therefore, even after the 3rd Infantry Division returns from Iraq (whenever that is), American troops will yet be left in harm's way all over the world.
In an attempt to deride me for my criticism of the Bush administration's policy in Iraq, a reader wrote, "We did not go to war with Iraq because of weapons of mass destruction. (Funny, I could have sworn that's the reason Bush gave.) We went to war because Iraq violated 17 UN resolutions, yet the UN lacked the backbone to respond." Actually, this reader is absolutely correct.
Yes, my friends, America went to war against Iraq to do the bidding of the United Nations! And that's the same reason our troops remain in Iraq. Furthermore, that's the reason our troops are languishing in over 100 countries around the world. Our political leaders have become pawns of multinational corporations and entities. They do not act independently; neither do they act in the best interests of our troops or our people. It's all about money and power on a global scale.
Perhaps this helps explain why the House of Representatives voted this week 74-350 to reject Rep. Ron Paul's bill to get America out of the United Nations. Therefore, throw away those yellow ribbons, because Johnny is never marching home!

"Yes, my friends, America went to war against Iraq to do the bidding of the United Nations!"
Uh - no.
Greater Judea went to war against Iraq on its own account.
UN resolutions against Lesser Judea are consistently ignored.
"Our political leaders have become pawns of multinational corporations and entities."
"Entities," eh?
[Sharp whistle] - Hey, FRANCO!

Baldwin has some interesting loyalties of his own...
BUSH TO SHARON: DO AS I SAY - NOT AS I DO [url=http://www.newswithviews.com/baldwin/baldwin14.htm]http://www.newswithviews.com/baldwin/baldwin14.htm[/url]
By Chuck Baldwin April 9, 2002 NewsWithViews.com
President George W. Bush has joined the United Nations in demanding that Israel withdraw its troops from the West Bank. He is so determined to enforce this demand that he dispatched Secretary of State Colin Powell to the Middle East to meet with Israel's prime minister to deliver the ultimatum personally. In light of America's response to acts of terrorism committed against this country, it seems the height of hypocrisy to make such a demand. After all, the United States has sent troops across the world to defend its interests against terrorists. Would he deny Israel the right to do the same thing in its own backyard? Apparently so.
Not only is Powell demanding that Israel withdraw its troops, he even referred to the Palestinian suicide bombers as "innocents." This is an incredible position for the U.S. government to take, to say the least. Does Colin Powell consider the Muslim suicide bombers in New York "innocents"?
Why is Bush willing to coddle P.L.O. terrorist, Yasser Arafat? Why would he order American troops to risk their lives fighting terrorism in Afghanistan while at the same time demanding Arafat's safety? Why does Bush want to deny Israel's Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, what he demands for himself: the right to aggressively defend his country?
One must remember that there is a long-term commercial partnership between Arafat's chief sponsor, Saudi Arabia, and the Bush family. This alliance is well documented; therefore, it should come as no surprise that Bush would hesitate to offend his Islamic benefactors.
However, President Bush is pursuing a dangerous course. First, he is turning his back on history (both Biblical and secular) by trying to create an independent state for the Palestinians. The Palestinians have no historical claim to the Promised Land. God clearly gave that land to the children of Israel. Furthermore, the only independent nation to ever exist on that land is the nation of Israel. There has never been an independent Palestinian country, and for Bush to pretend that they have some kind of "right" to the land is a denial of history and an act of defiance against the revealed will of God. As a professing Christian, Bush should know better.
To put it in perspective, consider this analogy. Suppose Mexican immigrants in America's great Southwest decided that they wanted an independent country for themselves. They further insisted that the United States has no right to exist and determined to back up their demands by sending wave after wave of suicide bombers into the malls and shopping centers of America's cities. (This scenario is similar to what the P.L.O. is doing in Israel.) What would America do? Would we listen to some tinhorn leader halfway around the world who would demand that we negotiate a "peace accord" with such people? Of course not. Yet, this is exactly what Bush is demanding of Israel. Bush is telling Sharon to do what he says not what he does. Bush should realize that what is good for the American goose is good for the Israeli gander.
