"Thousands of Virginians crowded onto a sun-kissed field outside Richmond yesterday, chanting "USA", waving American flags of all sizes and cheering the U.S. troops in the Persian Gulf. They toted pictures of their loved ones in the military. They shouted the "under God" part of the Pledge of Allegiance. And they treated a Patrick Henry impersonator like a rock star."

"We're winning, the Iraqis are losing, and the American people have executive seats for what may prove to be the most successful military campaign in history. I do recognize that the majority of our journalists are doing their best to cover this war accurately and fairly. But, with a few admirable exceptions, even seasoned reporters lack the perspective needed to judge the war's progress. Few have read military history. Even fewer have served in the military. They simply don't understand what they are seeing. Every low-level firefight seems a great battle to them. Each pause in the advance is read as a worrisome delay. While they see friendly casualties up close, they rarely witness the devastation inflicted on our enemies. And when isolated groups of Iraqis do stand and fight, the journalists imply it means the Iraqi people are opposed to our intervention. Let's try to understand what's actually happening."
