CLOSING GITMO SENDS THE WRONG MESSAGE
Do we need to get Zell Miller to have a tough talk with Republicans to remind them of their duty? It's bad enough that wimpy European democracies pander to the Islamo Fascists for false protection by criticizing our humanitarian efforts, now Republicans care what our image looks like to a bunch of cowards. We earned our moral authority with our blood & treasure. We are the oldest democracy, we freed more people from tyranny than any other government known to mankind. Watershed events are the only thing that change the hearts & minds of people of ignorance. Closing GITMO is the wrong symbol, it shows weakness.

They are throwing shoes, pies, next it will be acid, then bullets. Good thing we have the Second Amendment, it guarantees all the rest.

Possible violence? Trashing campaign headquarters, protesting Inauguration, protest of Ohio certification. This is only a few degrees from Iraq. They are protesting democracy. The Left is a tribal culture, and Bush represents another tribe not to be trusted.

A government call to sacrifice is a romantic notion. We have lost probably 0.5% of non-inflation potential GDP, that is a sacrifice. Getting ourselves back to normalcy has helped offset the economic damage of 9/11. The 4th leg of any great military effort is the economy, so it is important to keep growing. I don't argue that this effort in Iraq hasn't been disappointing, but the people that are hampering our efforts in Iraq are the terrorists. Arab culture will ultimately destroy the roots of this enemy, not the US military. We are at a critical stage, if the new government can establish a political settlement, the terrorists will be ratted out and the hostilities will end quickly.

Kerry's expectations for bad Iraqi elections is the point. Mr. Political opportunist was going to use the event to criticize Bush. Too many or too few soldiers is a Pentagon issue, they understand the footprint effect. I trust those in both the civilian and military planners to make those decisions. An all volunteer force has a greater economic moral hazard than a conscripted one. 65% of WW2 soldiers were drafted, was that an indication that Roosevelt was ruing the military? We are in a real war with Islamo fascism that breads within 1,000 miles of Baghdad. The litany of Bush criticism is the tribal anti-Republican Left's playbook to power.

Do you think it was coincidental that John Kerry made his public reappearance on Meet the Press the day of the Iraqi elections? He was there to gloat but fortunately the Iraqi people spoiled his day. As far as I am concerned, Powell said it best the day the French sandbagged us at the UN. "We may be a very young country, but we are the oldest democracy here assembled around this table." We earned our moral authority, the distractors act as low as the terrorists.
