Be good to note that troop re-enlistment is at record highs. Even 1 out of every 5 amputees in Iraq has re-enlisted (I heard that on FoxNews when I was home at Christmas).

You write very well....as good an explanation of what we are involved in as any I have read in the last four years. The liberals crazed desire for power will end this country as we know it, should they are handed the reins of power by the electorate. I do not think the American people are that gullible to let that happen.

Ping.

A late night ping.

[IslandJeff]

Wow. I'm speechless. My compliments.

I do not think the American people are that gullible to let that happen.

Personally, I don't believe the American People are knowledgeable enough to prevent it from happening. We have allowed the socialists free reign; the Allies won the battles against the Axis Powers, but it is becoming readily apparent that they have become firmly entrenched in all sectors of our society and are winning the war. Make no mistake -- President Bush is doing a lot of things correctly -- he's just not doing enough of the right things in a timely fashion.

Well written article; thank you.

Well done, sir! I have read your intelligent post, have bookmarked it, and will be re-reading it and sharing it with others....especially those "others" that just don't "get it".

BTTT and kudos to "pickrell"!!

[Diver Dave]

Outstanding!
I see I have some catching up to do with the links posted on your home page.
Salute! ...two

Excellent, well reasoned post. I am sharing it with many of my pro troop, pro America, pro family friends.

[Jim Noble]

I'm up with a bad cold - congrats on an excellent article.

This is an excellent piece. I only have one correction and put it forth because liberals will sieze on one mistake to justify ignoring all of your excellent reasoning and history.

Tha alliance between Egypt and Syria was the U.A.R., the United Arab Republic...NOT the U.A.E.

Thank you for posting this. It is very well-written.

The Cartheginians don't attend football games anymore. Neither do the Aztecs. Nor do the remnants of the Armenians. Mistakes leave ruins for archaeologists, not thriving civilizations.

Well put!

In this world, being wrong, cheering for the wrong guy to get into power and lead your country into oblivion is something you only get to do once. He may have spoke much more fluently, smiled much more Eastern-Seaboard-ish, been much more able to fabricate lies effortlessly and charm the pants off of a barely literate national press...

This, also, but "have spoken" instead of " have spoke"..

Thanks brityank for calling this excellent historical review and critical analysis of the resulting present situation to my attention. And thank you pickrell for taking the time to write and post your review and analysis.

I concur with almost all of it and for a very long time have said that the threat posed to the United States by socialists, Democrats, and liberals is far greater than the one posed by the radical Islamic terrorists. I have always added that it is far more likely that the middle east will turn into radioactive glass long before terrorism brings down the US.

The islamic terroists that are already in the US can cause much grief, but they have no chance at all to bring down the US. Make no mistake, the United States is within two decades of coming apart at the hands of the socialists, but it is the Democratic Party that is destroying America. And it is the Democratic Party and their ideation of socialism that must be defeated if the US is survive and prosper.

Ron, this is superb! Thank you for sharing it!

Those who think it unnecessary to study history, aren't just doomed to repeat it. They are doomed to watch their children be enslaved by it.

Amen!

That's an Honorary Tagline for Taglinus!

Excellent, excellent post. Am saving it for future reference, and bumping for others to enjoy. Please repost again later as well since this one truly deserves it and others should read it!

[Two-Bits]

This needs to be BUMPED TO THE TOP. Excellent Post. Thank you.

"..The alliance between Egypt and Syria was the U.A.R., the United Arab Republic...NOT the U.A.E..."

You are absolutely right! I knew as I was writing it that something was amiss in my memory, I just couldn't picture the name clearly enough in my mind. I only needed to see you write it to remember. Excellent eyes, Marple!!
