Thanks for your prayers, ariamne - that's about all we can do from here at the moment, it seems.
According to the lamestream media here and in Europe, these lives are being wasted in vain...
But were this Nation to do as they and some even here suggest we do and cut and run, they probably actually would be.
And then it would only be a matter of time before the next bomb, or cloud of gas, or intentional plague, or God knows what was visited upon our soil... and people... again.
Unlike the North VietNamese, these Islammofacists WILL pursue a vanquished or cowardly "infidel" enemy back to their homes, or holes, or wherever else they (we?) try to hide, and hunt them down until we are enslaved or slaugtered to a man, woman, and child.
It's their religion, their way, and their history.
American public Schools and American Media does not want us to know that, of course.
But we still have books in the libraries and the internet, and the socialists and Euroweenies haven't figured out how to control them completely... yet.
So check it out if you like... While you still can.
I think that at this point, the "Free" World - or such as is left of it - is pretty much committed.
Retreat is not an option.
Prayer however, still is.
Everything you said is right on the money. The ultimate goal of these pukes is global theocracy. They are a cancer on our globe and we need to be the chemotherapy.
You are right; we must not cut and run--for what will happen to that region if we do? We know that the islamonazis are conquerers and every bit as ambitious as hitler was, only more driven by the demons of their religion. No, America must not fall--and the way to stay strong is to fight them where they are and to offer democracy to those who don't desire to live under the foot of islamic tyranny.
