We keep hearing that Iraq is a "magnet" for terrorists.
So... If we had not "magnetized" Iraq, where would the terrorists be, and what would they be up to?

Funny how that, and the effects of 9/11 on the economy, are never mentioned when Kerry is out bashing President Bush.

Kerry is the "woulda' , coulda', shoulda' candidate, the ultimate Monday morning quarterback.

"...I would have done EVERYTHING different" says Kerry, over, and over, and over again in a droning monotone. Well how, you empty suit?

My Letter to the Troops

All of America will always be in your debt.

Because of your service and sacrifice of being in harms way keeping us out of harms way we have not had an attack on the home land since 9/11/01. And for your service America will always be in your debt. I believe in all sincerity that if it wasn’t for you bringing the fight to them these indoctrinated Jihad insurgent combatants would be attacking us here on the home land and instead of 100s of fallen American troops we would have burried 10s if not 100s of thousands of American civilians by now. It is only because the Jihad indoctrinated enemy is pre occupied with keeping a democracy from being established in the heart of the Jihad terrorist world have they not had the resources to expend on attacking America.

It is my personal opinion as you guys keep tightening the noose and the enemy realizes that the objective of keeping Iraq from becoming a democracy is a lost cause that with the remnants that remain they will shift their focus on attacking the homeland. Hopefully by the time you guys get done with them they will not have much left to attack the home land with.

You guys have done an outstanding job of capturing or killing 2/3rds of their leadership. You have also completed numerous public works projects, moving Iraq closer towards becoming a true democracy in the heart of the Jihad terrorist world “Job well done uniformed Americans”. Give them hell guys so that they will have even less to work with as they desperately try to land another punch to the homeland.

The Cold war lasted from 9/2/45 thru 12/26/91 and I am thinking this war against terrorism is going to be very long as well. This war will not end until the Jihad doctrine is no longer being taught anywhere on the globe. And as far as I know there are hundreds of thousands of Muslim male children being indoctrinated into the Jihad culture as you read this. Even if this practice ended this year it will take another generation of those who have been indoctrinated to be deprogrammed, captured, or killed,

We won the Cold War with the American media hammering away at us. But those of us who served knew in our hearts what the tragic result would have been if we would have stood down from the soviets. As I stood watch over Minuteman III Missile Silo’s out in the prairie land of WY I prayed along with millions of others that this is one shot that would not have to be taken. I thank God that the blast doors never opened and the missiles stayed in the ground. I wish some how the war on terror could be as clean but it is not, so thousands will die so millions of us can live out of harms way.

Out of dozens of movies Hollywood managed to produce about the Vietnam soldier they managed to get it right just one time and that is “We Were Soldiers” if you get a chance I would recommend that you watch it or read the book. I will mail out copies to the first five of you who ask. The movie depicts the exact tactics I was trained to use in the 70’s and I thank God that I was never called on to use the training I received.
