We knew we were there for one reason: to rid the world of a tyrant, and to give Iraq back to Iraqis.

I hope that's not true. If it is, then Bush had no legitimate reason for the War. No US president should put troops in harms way for any reason except the direct security of the USA.

Tyrants are always ultimately a danger to the security of the United States and the safety of our people.

I'm glad I didn't have to rally today's world for this cause, a just cause, and a direct threat to our national security - though proving it to a miseducated country with a powerful press in the hands of those who want America to fail - not easy.

Bin Laden's rallying cry, his 1998 jihad statement blaming the US for Saddam's atrocities, has now been exposed as the big lie it always was - thanks to our troops, and our war in Iraq.

Will the world hear the truth from our free press?

Allies around the world are finding, and sharing the truth - often from the troops reporting from the war zones.

When do you choose to pack up and quit fighting those who do plot and promote and carry out our destruction in a post-911 world?

Thanks to our CinC, our DoD, our troops - the terrorists are being drawn to Iraq and Afghanistan where brave men and women face and take them out - by the thousands, exposing the true character of these enemies in public - as anti-American terrorists send children - strapped with dynamite, raised on hate - to die in their place, and use women as human shields...even as our troops risk their lives and save the children of strangers.

Because the bad guys are busy assuring their own deaths at the hands of our far mightier military in Iraq and Afghanistan - for almost 3 years post-911 we have never had a major attack on the homefront, or any day with mass-US casualties in Iraq or Afghanistan, in spite of press reports implying otherwise, and thanks to the skill and courage of our awesome troops under the protection and direction of their unseen, ever-present, Almighty *Commander-In-Chief.*
