Finish the Mission

Once you come to really understand and accept the fact that Islamo-Fascism represents a real threat to the United States, it is easy to see that the situation in Iraq is arguably the best position we could hope for. First, we have taken the fight to the enemy - people are dying in Iraq, not America. Al'Qaeda leadership considers the Iraqi conflict to be the pinnacle/center of thier global "jihad," dazzling proof of which is the recent letter between two of thier chief leaders. Now- I'm obviously not advocating the deaths of people in Iraq, but its better that our volunteer soldiers die in a combat situation on distant shores than civilians in America, i.e. 9/11. Secondly, the insurgents from all over the area are coming to Iraq in order to fight in the conflict. Its like a magnet for the radical elements of Islam. So instead of searching everywhere to hunt them down (Vietnam) they are coming right to us. Democrats are obviously not considering what would be the natural result of a pull-out from Iraq. We would just be leaving a festering swamp of America hatred and waiting for it to come back to our homeland. They have no logical strategy for National Defense, and asking for pullout from Iraq is proof-positive of that.

Given these facts, let us ask what would be the most hurtful thing to America the Democrats could be doing right now. Well - to be brief, precisely what they are doing. You see, you have to understand, a U.S. failure in Iraq constitutes a failure of President Bush and the Republican party, and a colossal opportunity to seize power for Democrats. That is the central fact you have to keep in mind as an observer of America right now - failure for Bush equals victory for Democrats. And putting people in power who have sold out to to the religion-hating, no-rules, liberal agenda in exchange for use of thier propaganda network to slander Bush and those who are doing all they can to keep us safe, is definately not a good thing.

So in contrast to the power-craven Democrats who would kill our troops, I say to the Administration, finish the mission. Enforcing a timeline for pulling out of Iraq is the worst thing we can do. It encourages the insurgents, would result in more of our soldiers dying (in the short term), and jeopardize the success for which so many have already died. Finish the mission, anything less is failure.
