I listened to a portion of the President's press conference this morning and it was the same theme that the united Democrat and news media have trotted out since the beginning of the
A variation of the same question kept being asked, "Don't you think, given the increasing violence in
The Democrats and their "rubber stamps" in the media are still promoting the same cowardly approach they always take. Whenever we run into adversity, we should quit, according to them (I hope they teach their kids that so mine will be more successful). President Bush kept reminding them that if we quit, there are dire circumstances (like having the terrorists follow our soldiers back here and fight us on our own soil). Yet, they would not be persuaded.
Tell me, what game, what endeavor, what purpose is ever achieved by giving up? If it is worth having a democratic ally in the Middle East, if it is worth saving millions of lives, if it is worth avoiding a civil war or an invasion by Iran, if it is worth removing a brutal fascist dictator, if it is worth the lives that were sacrificed for freedom and equality, then tell me how it can be won without continuing the fight until victory is achieved.
I saw this quote on MoveOn.org a while back; "freedom IS free!" I guess we should disband our entire military right now then and set about convincing whoever takes over our government that we get to keep our freedom. Martyrdom is noble only if the cause is worth fighting for and the victory is won. Freedom is not free, it is a noble cause, it requires sacrifice and determination, and it takes time and effort to win.
Patience is a virtue that the left apparently lacks and why they always opt for the quick and easy way out. When you cut and run away from any battle you can and should win, you are snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, not unlike General McClellan during the Civil War. Fight on, brave soldiers! We're on your side all the way to victory.

I couldn't have said it any better myself.
Would you rather stay there and be humiliated in the long run or get out now while we can still leave gracefully with a lot fewer body bags?
There they are, the left's favorite code words to legitimize being chicken; "body bags." The ultimate justification to cut and run for the lily-livered and faint of heart cowards.
We're supposed to forget about the fact that our enemy filled up almost as many body bags in one day (9/11) as have been lost to liberate two countries since then. We're supposed to pretend that our enemies will stay behind when we leave, loving us like little thankful children. Liberals think problems just go away like a bad dream.
Our enemy must be defeated and it is more convenient to do it where he lives, not where we live. Liberals must secretly think that it would be "cool" to see one of our cities going up in smoke. Aren't they thinking about the fact that those are "blue" areas? If they lose all the blue areas, then what?
Maybe that's the approach we should use on them; if our enemy comes here, he'll attack and destroy "blue zones" (large cities) and leave the red areas ("Hickville, USA") untouched. They don't want to die or be forced to live in a "red zone" full of gun-toting hayseeds, do they?
Some food for thought if you choose to digest it.
I would add to TK's response by clarifying something very important: no one enters a military conflict with the goal of "least casualties". Well, I take that back. Our radical Islamic enemies view death as a glorious thing; the paradise reward with the virgins, fruit baskets, free cable channels, etc. So, to them casualties on the way to achieving their objectives is more than okay.
To us, casualties are emphatically not a glorious thing. Still war is hell, casualties of war do occur, and we fight not in such a way as to eliminate casualties, but to win decisively; an objective that does indeed result in casualties.
And I agree with my friend, Tracy. It sure would be nice if you folks could find a way to be more committed to never again seeing 3,000 of our fellow citizens murdered before our eyes than you seem to be about 2,500+ deaths of our military personel who are fighting to ensure that very thing.
