If terror is to be defeated, then the swamp that breeds terrorists must be drained. So try putting it this way: "Pre-emption is the pragmatism of the 21st century."

The reality is, we cannot tolerate Islamic regimes, period. And the other harsh reality is, the US is the only power that can do them in. We are over 90% of the forces, casualties and sacrifice in the war on terror. We can certainly make up the other 10% should even the Brits flag. Who is stopping us? Why aren't we already giving Iran the ultimatum? If not NOW, when? When the Dems take back the house? When Hitlery or some RINO inhabits the WH? WHEN?

The Blair Government is imploding at home and when Tony goes under, George will be friendless.

This sentence stopped me cold. Perhaps I'll go back to read the rest of the article, but is Australia unknown to this writer?

You could hear a snigger of triumph echo round the world as George Bush and Tony Blair uttered an admission of their "mistakes" over Iraq. Not quite the mortified apology that the anti-war lobby wanted, but it would make a satisfying headline...this is really disgusting - Blair and Bush talked about what was going on in Iraq - the progress being made, including the establishment of an Iraqi-selected democratic government - for a half hour. Near the end of the session some reported asked the direct question "what mistakes did you make", and both men, grown-up enough to know that there are mistakes made in any undertaking, answered candidly about what they thought went wrong - and as usual the press ignores virtually everything about the press conference except the "admissions" of problems by the two - if terrorism is defined as activity designed to demoralize and break the spirit of the civilian population, the MSM are right up there close to the Islamofascists in enthusiasm, persistence, and dedication to the task......
