Thank you, Valin, Cannoneer No. 4 - our awesome bloggers, and our brave troops charged with both saving civilization, and, finding they have to report their own story, doing that, too! Hoo ah!

The fighting we are engaged in against the uprising of Muqtada Al-Sadr is one that is extremely sensitive and risks catastrophe. Had we entered this previously, it would not have been possible for us to win. Over the months, we have been involved in preparations and much planning. Thus, today we are scoring amazing successes against this would-be tyrant.

I ask that the American people be brave. Don't fall for the spin by the weak and timid amongst you that are portraying this battle as a disaster. Such people are always looking for our failure to justify and rescue their constant pessimism. They are raising false flags of defeat in the press and media. It just isn't true.

Army Spc. Joe Roche felt he needed to spend his precious time to ask US to be brave. How shameful for the media and the critics of our war on terror!

My trust in our military and the Bush administration has not and will not waver. Thanks to you, RC, for your posting of the REAL stories and to the many brave men and women of our military like the articulate Spc. Roche.
