I believe we are on the same page.
Did Shock and Awe work in Iraq? You bet you’re a— it did.
We may have a civil war in Iraq, as we did in the US, but we also have elections not only in Iraq, but in Afghanistan, and Bush has virtually banished the hold that Damascus had on Lebanon.
While the same liberal green earth protectors will allow the scorched earth tactics of Saddam Hussein to go unpunished, while they lobby congress for a woman’s right to choose, they decry the actions of this administration that have resulted in freeing millions of women in the Arab world of a more brutal repression of their wills.
The same weak-kneed naysayers who were telling us that by interfering in Arab countries we would ignite a firestorm of hatred and terror have conveniently ignored the fact that as a result of the policies of this Republican Whitehouse, Libya has surrendered WMD’s, tens of thousands of Chritians, Druze, and Muslims, as well as Sunnis and Shi’a formed an unprecedented coalition and marched in the streets of Lebanon which ended the reign of Hariri’s Syrian-backed replacement caved into the demands of the coalition reformers.
Tell them we have heard their counsel and warnings and we chose to follow our President and his administration. We chose a leader with vision and strength who has proven that his policies are working. We reject their pessimism and deploy their politics of anti-warism to gain power. Their policies have emboldened our enemies, have put Americans in harms way and they risk our national security. Tell them that we abhor the ugly insinuation that our finest and bravest men and women are worse then terrorists.
Tell them we do not believe their propaganda about how the president lied and how his policies are failing. Tell them to join us or we will stand against them in the next election.
The first step, in winning this war, is to get rid of the press; including prosecuting anyone who publishes anything other then the official line for treason. Just do that; take away the sounding board for those who have committed themselves to terror, and it will end quickly.
