In my first post, I wrote this:
An indisputable fact- President Bush promised us, years ago, that he would take the fight to the terrorists on their soil so that we would not have to fight them here. We have killed thousands of terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan since he made that promise.
This could not be more true. Lee Smith over at The Weekly Standard's website has an article that is required reading in my opinion, titled:
Fighting Them Over There. The article basically says that Iraq does not breed terrorists but is more of a terrorist dumping ground. My question is: What did people think President Bush meant by his promise? If memory serves, he was greatly supported on this at the time. I guess the Democrats would rather us traipse across the greater Middle-East destroying one country after another in order to fulfill this mandate. We know that is not the case because if left up to them we would be waiting here for the police to arrest terrorists after they completed their mission. The debate over this is ridiculous.
Terrorists flocking to Iraq is a blessing. The more of them we kill outside our borders, the better off we are. We are not only helping ourselves by supporting military operations in Iraq, we are helping all the countries in the region dispense with their own Islamo-fascists. We have essentially set a huge country-sized trap for our enemies and they are falling for it day in and day out as they die fighting the greatest military in the world. We have killed more terrorists in Iraq than there were victims on 9/11; and I only see the margin between the two growing. That is a good thing for anyone who was wondering.
The math on this is only arguable by the ignorant and the misguided. Every single soldier we lose is a tragedy; however, our casualties when compared to previous wars against fascism and evil are dramatically low.
If we leave Iraq any time soon then all the terrorists that are flocking to that country will disperse and begin to create chaos elsewhere. They might even decide to pack up their toys and head on over to Afghanistan and help out the Taliban still fighting there. From what I can see, that is exactly what the "progressives" in this country want: Move all the terrorists in Iraq over to Afghanistan; that would make the hunt for Bin Laden so much easier. Liberalism is truly a mental disorder.
