Aftermath of a Great Speech

Hey folks,

What an insanely busy week I’m having. But fret not, I am going to make a major effort to be here with you for the rest of it. Yesterday, President Bush gave what may very well be his greatest speech ever. It was filled with history and lessons learned. Lessons some in Congress NEED to learn. It was more of a gloves off, this is reality, this is fact, than he has done in the past. It was great. THAT is President Bush.

The LWL? They are insane over this. {Laughing} You know they hate facts. They hate truth. If they cannot spin it to the way you SHOULD believe because they tell you so, they get upset.

Traitor and LWL member Nancy Pelosi said this.

"In an attempt to justify his stay-the-course strategy in Iraq, President Bush is offering false lessons from history. The American people have already judged the President's war in Iraq as the wrong war at the wrong time, and are ready for our troops to come home.”

This is COMPLETELY false. As a matter of fact, this is a complete LIE. One, history is as it is. Two, the popular opinion on the war is increasing. More and more Americans WANT us to stay and win. Hell, even some of your own people are starting to say we are winning.

“Whatever improvements in security that may have resulted from the efforts of our troops since the surge began, Iraqi leaders have not done the hard political work on which the future of their country depends. And therefore, the purpose of the surge -- to enable the Iraqis to produce political reconciliation -- has not been accomplished. That is the standard against which Congress and the American people will judge the White House report of September 15.”

Recalculate your message Nancy. I thought that the surge could NOT work? I thought the war was lost? I thought that our military can’t win? Oh, wait we are winning. Uh, “Political Progress.” {Sigh}

“Instead of continuing to spend money and lives in Iraq, the American people want our nation to refocus its efforts against terrorism worldwide, especially in Afghanistan."

No, they don’t. They want to win. They want to defeat this enemy. More and more people would be united for this cause if the Mass Media Drones and you, the LWL, would get untied. You know, like on the steps of the Capital right after 9-11. If we held that position, unity, we could very well have won already.

You know folks, I said back on December 07, 2006

“Let’s say they win. We pull out. We turn Iraq over to "Little Hitler." In 5 years, 1 year, tomorrow, whatever time in the future, if Israel ceases to exist, millions of Jews die, and or we lose a city, I lay the blame at the feet of those in this group, the LWL, and the Mass Media Drones. The blood will be on their hands. The main reason, they have forgotten that not only is this possible, it HAS already happened. They have either forgotten, or their hatred for Bush is causing them to lose reality. Either way, the fault and blame shall be on them.”

On March 25, 2007, “The blood of any other Americans that die in future attacks, if we lose, is on YOUR hands.”

On May 21, 2007, “The blood of our men and women, sons and daughters, is on YOUR hands.”

President Bush, finally said the same thing. Pointing to historical facts.

In 1972, one antiwar senator put it this way: "What earthly difference does it make to nomadic tribes or uneducated subsistence farmers in Vietnam or Cambodia or Laos, whether they have a military dictator, a royal prince or a socialist commissar in some distant capital that they've never seen and may never heard of?" A columnist for The New York Times wrote in a similar vein in 1975, just as Cambodia and Vietnam were falling to the communists: "It's difficult to imagine," he said, "how their lives could be anything but better with the Americans gone." A headline on that story, date Phnom Penh, summed up the argument: "Indochina without Americans: For Most a Better Life."

The world would learn just how costly these misimpressions would be. In Cambodia, the Khmer Rouge began a murderous rule in which hundreds of thousands of Cambodians died by starvation and torture and execution. In Vietnam, former allies of the United States and government workers and intellectuals and businessmen were sent off to prison camps, where tens of thousands perished. Hundreds of thousands more fled the country on rickety boats, many of them going to their graves in the South China Sea.

Three decades later, there is a legitimate debate about how we got into the Vietnam War and how we left. There's no debate in my mind that the veterans from Vietnam deserve the high praise of the United States of America. (Applause.) Whatever your position is on that debate, one unmistakable legacy of Vietnam is that the price of America's withdrawal was paid by millions of innocent citizens whose agonies would add to our vocabulary new terms like "boat people," "re-education camps," and "killing fields." President Bush.

The LWL cannot handle this truth. But that does not change the fact it IS. John Kerry even came out and said “There was no blood bath in Vietnam.” Really? He also said that the “Re-education camps” were not so bad.

“Antiwar Senator” Sound familiar? The LWL. Traitors Pelosi and Reid. Those that have weekly conference calls with the Moveon.Org lunatics. They are the same Lunatics that came right out a said they OWN the Democrats and THEY run this country.

AP reported.

The president's speech — and another one like it next Tuesday — are intended to set the stage for a crucial report next month on the progress of the fighting and steps toward political reconciliation in Iraq. Democrats in Congress and some Republicans are pressing to start the withdrawal of U.S. forces.

That is simply an insane position to still hold. We are winning. I think that it was not until just two days ago were we even at full numbers for the surge. We are winning. Even Supreme Leader Wannabe Hillary is saying we are winning. Yet they want to pull out? They CANNOT AFFORD VICTORY. They will not survive politically if we win in Iraq.

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, who addressed the VFW on Tuesday, reacted to Bush's speech, saying there is no military solution to Iraq's problems. He called for increased diplomacy and humanitarian efforts in the region and a "phased withdrawal of our forces that puts real pressure on the Iraqi government to act."

It’s working. This is the same ignorant Senator that said he wanted to invade Pakistan, will not use nuclear weapon under ANY circumstance, and wants to meet with those that want us dead, giving them credibility.

The BBC?

BBC world affairs correspondent Nick Childs says Mr Bush's speech will fuel the controversy over whether he is drawing the right or wrong lessons from history.

Right or wrong lessons? History is what it is. What happened, happened.

Opinion polls suggest that many Americans clearly do not see the stakes or the struggle in the same way, our correspondent says.

Why do you think that is? Could it have something to do with all the agenda driven, LWL funded, and controlled PRESS? Say it isn’t so.

Mr Bush is pressing home these broad themes even more forcefully than before because he faces a very specific short-term political problem, with less than 18 months left as president.

Or maybe he has just had it with the insanity. We are winning. We need to win. They are doing everything in their power to cause our defeat. Yes, I’m talking about these “Antiwar Senators”, not the terrorists.

Here is what the world is thinking about.

Whether his successor will see things in the same ideological and historic terms is, at the very least, open to question, our correspondent adds.

House Republican Whip Roy Blunt, said this, about the President’s Speech.

“The president this morning rightly identified our current campaign in Iraq as part of a generational struggle between two very different views of the world: one that believes in the promotion of democracy and the dignity of the human spirit, and another whose sole source of legitimacy derives from its ability to destroy human life and disseminate a message of hate, fear and intolerance.”

Remember Nahool the Bee. That is Hamas. But in the big picture, Hamas, al-Qaeda, the Taliban, they are all the same. Indoctrinating from youth this message of hate and murder.

“This is a struggle, as the president suggested, that will not be won with a single battle. But while the fight continues at home and overseas, the undeniable progress being made by our troops on the ground has created a new landscape in Iraq, and confronted in a serious way the agents of terror who have staked their campaign on a precipitous withdrawal of American support forces from the region.”

Completely with the help of some in Congress and the MMD.

“Now, as Gen. Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker prepare to issue a report on the current status in Iraq, even some Democrats who support surrender and withdrawal have started to acknowledge the successes we've seen across the region. It's now time for the Democratic leadership to decide whether it wants our mission to succeed in Iraq, and come back in September willing to work with us to ensure the safety, security and ultimate success of our troops in the field."

Amen. Not going to happen. But Amen. They cannot afford a victory in Iraq. The Washington Post put it this way.

Democrats have been forced to recalibrate their own message in the face of recent positive signs on the security front, increasingly focusing their criticisms on what those military gains have not achieved: reconciliation among Iraq's diverse political factions.

Folks, take the time to re-read President Bush’s speech to the VFW. It’s is well worth a second look. This is what I, and many others have been telling you. Finally, the President is telling you the same.
