Iraq has poison bombs

Imagine you preach how bad this is, and you must stare into the face of its success every day.

Breaks my heart. NOT!

Our intent is to liberate, not destroy, the populace.

Failing a bloodless liberation, our intent is to kill no innocents.
Failing to avoid killing any innocents, our intent is to kill as few innocents as possible.
Failing to avoid harming many innocents, our intent is to limit the harm to Iraqis.
Failing to limit the harm to Iraqis, our intent is to limit the harm to the middle east.
Failing to limit the harm to the middle east, our intent is to avoid harm on American soil.

Allowing harm to come to America's heartland is a non-option.

I would rather that "the wine press was trodden ... and blood came out from the wine press, up to the horses' bridles, for a distance of two hundred miles." in Iraq, that Babylon of old.

But then, Saddam's own people might eliminate just him. That would be wonderful!

But I wouldn't bet our lives on it...

All that lead up and I forgot the punch line.

OUR GOAL IS FOR US AND OUR WAY OF LIFE TO SURVIVE.

All else is secondary.

[null and void]

Welcome home.

I second that!

Bump!

Be Well - Be Armed - Be Safe - Molon Labe!

WOW! What an outstanding post! Someone needs to get on one of there leftist spewing programs and ask the simple question: Why do so many people attempt to get to America, to seek medical attention there, to attend their universities and to invest there? You bet we are the best. And the reason for that is we maintain a strong silent majority that has, of late, awakened to voice itself-BIG TIME!

I wouldn't either, and your progression of the priorities, in terms of the mandate of our government, is correct.

The "stay on message" idea that we must convey is that we are eliminating Saddam, and disarming Iraq, to prevent his collusion and his WMD from threatening US directly, or by proxy through terrorists.

We are invading, first and foremost, for our own interests. Minimizing deaths to civilians in Iraq is also in our interests.

The truth is that we care more about Iraqi civilians than Saddam does and that is what makes him evil and us good.

And I think that pleases God.

I can't speak for God, but it pleases me.
