I'd say it covers the most important points pretty well.

I tend to think of GW in terms of FDR on this, he knows full well what is coming, but this nation cannot be pushed to war, not of the type we face. It must drag a President
kicking and screaming for peace into it on it's own.

The President, Our President has told us, time and time again, "This is going to be a long war..." He has told us
of the sacrifice to come, we have seen a glimpse of the enemy but yet do not even begin to realize the TOTAL struggle we are engaged in.

Some of us, who've seen the face of war, some of us who follow the world of politics, some of us who lost loved ones in the attacks, understand, most do not.
It's going to take more, more time, more attacks, more lives lost, more families destroyed before the rest wake up
to the threat we face.

In the small breathing space we have left, we must PREPARE.
We must do what we can to educate our citizens about the truth of Islam, we must ELECT leaders who know the truth of Islam, and we must begin to stock the arsenal of freedom
for the monstrous clash coming our way. That arsenal begins
with you and the weapons you SHOULD have, the weapons you
SHOULD know how to use, those weapons which are YOUR BIRTHRIGHT! Having done that, and taken the responsibility
for yourself and your family, then you can take on the responsibility for your country. The ingenuity of american
thinking in unparalleled in the world, put it to use!

Time is running out, we hear more and more the reports of
war and rumors of war, recently a planned attempt to blow
up a MALL, it's coming home to us folks, we had better begin.

Hello, tet68... FWIW, I agree with you. I wrote this screed some time ago- the file's title is "Fire and Blood and Iron"

---

The entire West ( dare I say "the civilized World?" ) is locked in a fight to the death with militant Islam.

There will be no second-place winner, no "third way" solution-- it is March or Die time, folks.

It is Us versus an eighth-century "culture" of plunder, forced religious "conversions," and the mistreatment of women.

The sooner we face up to this fact realistically and quit dancing around PC talking-point nonsense about diversity and tolerance, the better off we'll all be.

We did not pick this fight- which really has roots in Jimmy Carter's appeasement in 1979 of militants- but we had damned well better see it for what it is, and be prepared to face it and finish it.

I'll put it in raw, personal terms-- I don't want Sharia law visited upon my women, and I don't want a goat-roper "culture" infesting my land.

I don't want their vile, nasty, loathsome weapons of mass destruction loosed upon my fair country, either.

They picked the fight, and now it is up to us to finish it- balls to the wall, hammer and anvil, fire and blood and iron... freedom is never, ever free, and the coin you pay it in is men's lives and tears and blood.

What we saw during Gulf War I was our military doctrine ( high tech ) versus Soviet doctrine ( throw a lot of low tech iron at the problem )-- and we all know how that turned out.

What we have just seen in the 3-Week War is Information-Tech,
( What some are calling it Hyperwarfare... )
or 21st Century warfare versus 20th Century...

What I would suggest, and call your attention to, is the fact that we, and Israel, are capable of waging 21st Century warfare, and the entire Arab world is not.

Proven fact, by recent events.

One more thing- this will be a war where we are all called to be warriors- so I suggest to you that the time has come to get hard, and stay hard... it really is the time for fire and blood and Iron...
