Call to Duty
Amidst all the trappings and patriotic flourishes of a nation at war, from Fort Bragg President Bush will address a wobbly nation concerning the big picture in the Middle East, the War on Terror and HOW supporting the democratic movement in Iraq will ultimately result in a VICTORY over Islamic tyrrany and terrorism.
Polls show, to the delight of anti-war Democrats and the cut & run MoveOn crowd, that the American people are skeptical and impatient with the War in Iraq; however, those same polls indicate that Americans do NOT want the USA to leave the Iraqis to the "mercy" of foreign Jihadists, Saddam loyalists and Iranian/Syrian agents-of-influence eager for a time line for withdrawal of US troops so they can establish a beachhead for international terror training grounds in Iraq. According to Rumsfeld, abandoning Iraq before the completion of the mission "would throw a lifeline to terrorists."
Since the "time line" idea has been effectively refuted by military strategists and experts that know of what they speak, President Bush should trumpet the underreported successes and tell us what steps we're going to take to complete the transfer of power to the Iraqi government while emphasizing the keys to victory and our return home, is first, the competence and capability of the Iraqi security forces to replace coalition forces and second, the inclusion of the Sunni insurgents in the political process thus reducing the insurgency's numbers from 20,000 to a managable 5,000 criminal thugs and foreign Islamic extremists.
"Today we're at a critical moment in the history of this proud nation." GW was talking about Iraq with Prime Minister Ibrahim al Jaafari at his side in the Rose Garden..but the USA is facing a "moment" too..We have undertaken the bold task of reshaping the Middle East, draining the swamp of extremism and depravity that breeds the lethal form of terrorism that attacked us on 9/ll..If we don't show unyielding resolve in Iraq, the region will be plunged into the darkness of the likes of Saddam Hussein, the Taliban and Osama binLaden...the riches of Iraq will be used against the USA and the free World...OR the CIC can rally patriotic hearts in this Country to stand firmly behind the Iraqi people and WIN a decisive battle against the forces of evil thus convincing the powers that be in the region that the SOLDIERS and the American PEOPLE are NOT GIVING UP!!
Tonight Americans will be called to decide: Are we weak kneed quitters? OR..is this still the home of the brave?...duty, honor, country!!..which is it?
