The problem is that a majority of Americans think we are in Iraq for the Iraqis. We are in Iraq first and foremost to defend our freedom and our way of life. The terrorists Al Qaeda, Iran and Syria, chose Iraq to be the center front to have their war against us and it is in Iraq where the ultimate war on terror is waged. It is time to get beyond the point of having a popular war since the vast majority of wars that Americans fought were unpopular, including the independence war and the civil war. A minority of Patriots supports, fought and won the independence and civil war, and it came to that in this war.

We should not spend our energy making the war popular, but rather we need to spend our time fighting the traitors in Congress to defeat them and fighting the terrorists in Iraq to annihilate them

'The problem is that a majority of Americans think we are in Iraq for the Iraqis. '

That is a true statement, thanks to the DBM. Too many seem to forget what happening on 9/11. We have let the left demonize our fighting back against those who want to kill us and our way of life.

First of all, let me use the opportunity to thank you for your work on translating Iraqi original documents for all to see. Its absolutely indispensable! Can’t thank you enough.

“The problem is that a majority of Americans think we are in Iraq for the Iraqis. We are in Iraq first and foremost to defend our freedom and our way of life.”

Yes!

Now, to defeat the traitors in Congress, we need to win elections. When Iraq is one of the deciding factors, we need to win the info-war at home: show that we can win, are winning, and its crucial for our own future, not just a charity for Iraqi and others. We are democracy and when Congress cuts funding (Vietnam) we are just screwed. Unless there is a second Civil war here, its how we will continue to function: win elections.

I endorse all you've stated here.

I wish President Bush and Tony Snow could include your statement verbatim in a speech.
