Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth
The movie had me captivated. Can't wait until tonight.
I agree... it was done so well, and they went all out to show the terrorist as the true blame in this whole ordeal and it is good that we be reminded this is a long hard faught war we will have in the years ahead.
Thank You President Bush and Troops........ you are all in my prayers and thoughts.
Indeed. There are a LOT of people in boxes who have crossed the clintons over the years. More people close to the administration died during his Presidency then EVER during a Presidency.
Excellent column. Thanks for the link!
Has Rush said anything about tonight's part 2? How bad is it towards this administration? Should we be prepared?
Oooh, wouldn't that be sweet?
The Democrats are screwed in November. They were before Pathway. Pathway will just make it harder for them because it askes tough questions that the Democrats can't answer, bacause the answers don't look good for them.
Just got back...but the "actual Massoud" wasn't bad looking either.
I saw Rockefeller on tv. Him being on the Intelligence Committee is kind of like the Pope serving on the Board at Playboy.
OK, ok. 1 minute. 1 minute too much if you ask me, but I do give ABC credit for airing the movie and it's overall content. Clinton and his goons still piss me off; however.
Vice President Cheney is great, much more articulate than his tiny little detractors.
The movie had me captivated. Can't wait until tonight.
AMEN! Bring on the November elections! The lib/dim/wacko party hate this country, they hate our troops and they hate freedom. Who wants to vote for the negativity party? Not I, now or ever!
The more I see his commercials, the more I want to vote for Judy...
Cheney is my fav.
Not only that, it reminds Americans of exactly what happened and who we are fighting. I found it amusing that O'Neill and Clarke kept saying "we are at war," during Part 1 last night. The contrast between those statements and today's cut and run Democrats is striking.
Judy scared me too. We are screwed. Do you see anything good about Judy?
That's the Persians for you. Many of them are a good-looking bunch (from my side, the women). ;-)

I love my state, but sometimes it SUCKS.
