Once again, peace through strength is the way to go. Thank God for GW's leadership and steadfastness.
But thank God especially for the American troops who have given the Lebanese the courage to beleive that if they rise up it will not be alone.
By the way dont forget Middle East expert and Fox News War Correspondent Oliver North will be speaking at the 2005 Galveston County Lincoln Day Dinner www.lincolndaydinner.com and www.galvestoncountygop.com .
Oliver North has written extensively about the need to deal with the Syrian threat (I should say Syrian assault given they have armed the insurgents attacking our forces in Iraq).
Bravo Sierra......no goodies, just get out
THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING! THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING! THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING!
All power to the people, man!
Geez, I'm so confused.
How 'bout this for incentive. We'll stand down the B-1's when you leave otherwise they're loaded and ready.
"Assad indicated in an interview with Time magazine that he would withdraw Syria's 15,000 troops from Lebanon "maybe in the next few months." Later, however, a Syrian official speaking on condition of anonymity in Damascus questioned whether it could occur within months. "
How can we believe it will take months to move 15,000 men one country over, yet our politicians on the left think we can move 150,000 troops and equipment out of Iraq in a week and a half?

The full-court press W is applying to Assad will break him.
Bravo to our president, our SOS and our military.
""Both of them stood up and said loud and clear to Syria, `You get your troops and your secret services out of Lebanon so that good democracy has a chance to flourish," Bush said during an appearance at a community college in Maryland to tout his job training programs."
"The world, Bush said, "is speaking with one voice when it comes to making sure that democracy has a chance to flourish in Lebanon."
"The president's words, taken with those from Rice and others in the Bush administration this week, amount to the strongest pressure to date on Syria from Washington.'
Thanks for the ping!

President Bush, you are great.
Idiot
This pressure - for good and bad - may help us learn whether or not Syria has Saddam's goodies.
Countdown to when Chiraq says we need to appease the terrorists.
Consider how Saddam was culturally unable top take April Glaspie seriously when she informed him about the US view on Kuwait. Sending in a strong male figure is a nice little ratcheting up of the diplomatic effort to make Syria see the light before we need to resort to military action.
Way to go Dubya!
