We are fighting a world war and Iraq is a major battleground in this war. The winner will determine whether the world will be made safe for democracy or theocracy. Al Qaeda and the Baathists know this. They seek to kill enough Americans so we will run away just as we did in Lebanon and Somalia.
Osama bin-Laden fears a secular democracy. He knows it will persuade people to be in charge of their destiny and by using their collective reasoning, they can shape policies and pass laws as they see fit. That will lead them to ignore the “unalterable laws” of Allah for the whole of mankind as codified in the Islamic Sharia. Democracy will make Muslims love this world, forget the next world, and abandon jihad. If established in a Muslim country for a reasonably long time, democracy could lead to economic prosperity, which in turn would make Muslims reluctant to die in the defense of their faith.
Osama hopes that Iraq will become the graveyard of secular democracy. I say again, in Iraq today we have a clash of two visions of the world and future of mankind. The side prepared to accept more sacrifices will win.
Note to Ms.Pelosi.
Wars, conflicts, fights, disagreements, etc., are always lost or won.
There is always a winner or loser.
A war without a resolution is a war in still in progress.
Any of the conflicts, etc., NOT won, are merely awaiting the next phase.
A politician whose mindset considers that a war may not be won or lost by a participant shows with great clarity who the actual loser is.
The obvious loser in this instance is not the U.S.Military but once again the spineless political echelons; those Lucy Browns who cannot wait to snatch the footbal away from the honest, decent, self sacrificing and brave Charlie Browns.
VietNam worked really well for is, didn't it, you over-clipped poodle.
(Not you, Bob...that...that over-clipped poodle!)
And the first knives (of many) land in the backs of the troops.
The American electorate is spiteful, disloyal, treacherous, and wholly undeserving of the sacrifices made by our warriors.
Yo, America: next time al-Qaeda attacks, f*** off, you're going to be on your own.

Perhaps the last time Pelosi got a face lift, the doctor streched her brain instead of her skin.
Pelosi voices the 09/10/2006 mindset of the Democrat party and their liberal MSM enablers.
I wonder if she remembers the significance of todays and tomorrows date.

We ARE doomed. I can't believe she would say such a stupid thing. She's putting our troops in danger. She's such a moron. That woman hasn't got brains enough to be Speaker of the House.
Does anyone have the video? (It exists. I saw it on Fox.) thx.
