A young democracy is fighting for its life. The terrorists are without conscience. Even if our new strategy works exactly as planned, we must expect more casualties.

Success won't look like the ones our fathers and grandfathers achieved. There will be no surrender ceremony on a battleship.

Holy cow, you're quick!!! And a perfect memory to boot! ;)

Now paying tribute to soldiers and their families. "We mourn the loss of every fallen American, and we owe it to them to build a future worthy of their sacrifice..."

And now I'm way behind you, I bet. :)
