In this war, the only measurement that matters is the absence of attacks. Since 9/11, our government has taken the war to the terrorists and kept us remarkably safe.

And there is no rational, responsible alternative to persevering. The only disastrous choice we could make would be to give up.

If their disagreements concern what is the best way to kill our enemies, that kind of discord I can tolerate.

Our enemies are fanatics in the truest sense of the word. Every one we kill is a service to humanity.

Nicely said!

Here we have the dose of reality and perspective our major media utterly lack. No wonder fewer people pay any attention to them.

This is my third attemp at trying to get the answer (;-)

He's got the market cornered on NY Post articles, which are usually fantastic. I'm tempted to re-post, as it doesn't get much circulation in the early am hours... I guess bumping the posts would work just as well???

Absolutley right on the mark. This needs to be distributed across the media. Anyone catch Howard Fineman on Imus this morning? To listen to him and Imus was astounding - total ignorance of (or willful blindness to) the War on Terror. Imus even asked if Iraq was part of the War on Terror. Idiot!
