WHERE DOES IT ALL END? WE CANNOT OFFER A SPECIFIC DESCRIPTION OF HOW THE FINAL DEFEAT OF EXTREMIST ISLAM WILL OCCUR OR EVEN THE MOST APPROXIMATE GUESS OF WHEN THIS DEFEAT MAY BE LOOKED FOR. BUT
WE KNOW THIS; THE SOUNDS WE HEAR COMING FROM THE ANGRY EXTREMISTS OF THE MUSLIM WORLD ARE NOT THE SOUNDS MADE BY PEOPLE WHOL FEEL CONFIDENT OF THEIR TRIUMPH. THEY ARE THE SOUNDS OF FURY AND BAFFLEMENT AND DESPAIR THEY SENSE AS WE DO THAT THEIR DEFEAT IS COMING--AND VERY POSSIBLY T HAT IT WILL ARRIVE MUCH SOONER THAN WE TODAY DARE HOPE."

911 dealt President Bush and the USA a hand we never counted on and yet GWB stepped up and became a President I am still proud of today despite the waning and bending to the Democratic Congress in the last 2 years of his 2nd term.
WE still had 7 strong economic years under his rule despite 911, Katrina and IKE. What would happen today if we got hit by any of these disasters?
Scary question isn't it? No money "left" now.
Afghanistan IS a mess but we as a nation have commited ourselves to deal with it and deal with it we should...
Where we have lost our lesson of history is in realizing that to support a WAR effort, you cannot at the same time pursue a "socialist" Domestic entitlement agenda.
Hmmmmn? As I recall, WW2 involved cutting back at home because we had something called "a budget".
You know...X amount of money to do X amount of things....
Does Washington understand this concept?
DO YOU?
Explain it to them in 2010...PLEASE!
