Victory is mandated. Anything less is giving the terrorists incentives to continue.
Not only Important but NECESSARY for Survival!

Victory?
THEN CHANGE THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT!
Defeat the enemy. Pound them until they surrender. THEN rebuild.
What we are doing now is just stupid.
I think most will agree that victory is important...it's achieving it that has everyone stumped.
Having seen the Bush-Blair presser, I must say that the Iraq Surrender Group intended to make President a gelding for the remainder of his term. I am pleased to say that their knife missed wildly. Mr. Bush was passionate, in command, and unrepentant. His unabashed use of the word victory has to be inspiring to the troops and those of us who are proud to stand behind them.
Washington and Lincoln were confronted with tremendous obstacles to victory and thank God, they were able to overcome. Now Pres. Bush is confronted with obstacles from the MSM and gutless politicians. I urge all Freepers to e-mail the Pres. at: comments@whitehouse.gov Right now the man probably feels like the lonliest guy in the world he needs our support.
The Constitution delegated the war power to Congress because the framers correctly believed no single individual should have the power to go to war.
President Bush told Congress and the American people that Saddam Hussein's nuclear program presented a clear and president danger to the nqtion. Subsequently, we learned that the President accepted this CIA estimate based on a single source, the Iranian agent Chalabi. No weapons of mass destruction were found.
Then the President set forth a new objective of democratizing Iraq. Under U.S. auspices, something called the Iraqi Government of National Unity was inaugurated. Nearly four years later, there is no Iraqi nation because the Shiites and Kurds want no part of it, there is no government and there is no unity. Unfortunately, the 1% of the U.S. population that is shouldering the burden for the war -- service members and their families -- are returning for a third and fourth tour and American soldiers are being killed, including 10 yesterday.
From Pearl Harbor to V-J Day (45 months), Roosevelt built a global coalition trained 16 million troops and shipped 8 million to Europe and the Pacific, evicting the Axis from North Africa, Western Europe and the Western Pacific, and totally defeating Italy, Germany and Japan. Forty-five months after the invasion of Iraq, reasonable people ask: Where's the progress? Americans killed in action: 2,924; wounded in action: 21,921. Financial cost: $319 billion.

If he means it, he needs to be out there explaining why, every day. Those supporting that position need to hear it, and the many undecided need to decide. He's losing the battle.
Correspondents have a job in war as essential as the military personnel. Fundamentally, public opinion wins wars.
