Dear Congressman Hunter,
Will you make an unalterable, clear, binding commitment that we will win the war on terrorism and the campaign in Iraq, so that the blood shed in this war will not have been shed in vain? Will you make that commitment to those troops who have given life and limb and to their families and loved ones?
I have already given that commitment to the American Troops. One thing I can’t give is a guarantee of Freedom for the state of Iraq, as no nation’s Freedom can be guaranteed in purpetuity (not even the United States). As Benjamin Franklin said, “We have a Republic, if we can keep it”. I will continue our Military Campaign against Islamist Terrorists with increased vigilance and effort.
