I'm sure we will withdraw as many troops as is possible as soon as the mission has secured the country to the extent necessary.

We all knew what the war on terrorism was going to be before it ever started. We were informed by our President, standing in front of our congress, that this war would be fought in holes, and mountainsides and streets, etc, that this war was not being fought against formal armies of an opposing nation, but by helter skelter killers, who aim at innocents and kill via hit and runs.

We are DOING GREAT!

Our troops are the best. We have labeled the challange and have deftly worked to conquer our foes.

We also know there will be many setbacks, many losses, many errors and MUCH SUCCESS.

And we were also informed that this war would be going on for a LONG, LONG TIME. Most probably, all of our lifetimes.

There is no alternative. Other than one of living in fear.

Thank GOD we are fighting this war on the playgrounds of the terrorists and NOT on the streets of New York or Chicago. So far.

We have done much to disorient and upset the terror networks...but they can reform and breed upon hatred (much like liberals do-when they aren't killing in utero unwanted babies, etc)

SO BRAVO for President Bush for having the vision and courage to see the most important picture-pricking the souls of those who have never tasted FREEDOM and planting this seed within them, for future ripening and hope, and the eventual chance of peace in the torn and brutal world that is the middle east as well as the future security of our own children in the years to come. Liberals don't care about this...it is so unpopular to actually act upon something that does not get immediate rewards in their book. And doing what is right, even if unpopular, is not a character trait of liberals anymore. klinton sealed their fate and reputation with great flourish.

I don't expect a peaceful Iraq for decades. Do you? Freedom never comes easily and the price is usually high.

I am proud to be a part of a nation that cares enough to spread this most precious of blessings while confronting terrorists in their nests.

Give me an honest answer. Are there more or fewer terrorists who hate America in the world today than there were 16 months ago?
