Still thinking that we went into Iraq without enough intelligence?
What about this newsclip from ABC from 1999? -

or do you think the
terrorist will just go away if we leave? -

and where would they have
gotten such influence? - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvpKQTjAb2U,
and
what is the history on this? -

And why didn't you tell him the truth Faye? He is more likely to be
killed in an automobile accident back here in the United States, than he
is serving in the US Military. But you didn't discourage him from
getting his drivers license or buying a car did you?

"I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every
form of tyranny over the mind of man." -- Thomas Jefferson
Now for a reminder . . . (1) who are we fighting in Iraq? (2) And who
do we want to win?
1. Tyrants.
2. When lovers of liberty and freedom willing to exercise their
God-given right to defend liberty outnumber those who wish to usurp it.
Thus, it won't be anytime soon.
Every generation of Americans have had to fight evil and tyranny in some
form or another. It is perpetual conflict.
"Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men,
undergo the fatigue of supporting it." -- Thomas Paine
