President Bush in his speech yesterday made it clear that he is committed to fighting terror and winning in Iraq. Our great troops are "in it to win it" in Iraq and giving their lives in larger numbers by going after the terrorists in the most dangerous areas of Iraq.
That’s about it. The sad truth is that Americas are losing their will. Congress yesterday passed a Resolution "to require the Secretary of Defense to commence the reduction of the number of United States Armed Forces in Iraq to a limited presence by April 1, 2008." The Bill passed 223 - 201, with four Republican votes.
My question is, if we are losing why not bring the troops home right now? Why advertise to the enemy that we will be packing and vacating the premises by April Fool’s day? Why risk another soldier’s life if as Reid said yesterday, "the President needs to admit that his policy in Iraq has failed?"
The terrorists are "in it to win it!" They are planning and waiting...
