Apparently James Baker, Sandra Day O'Connor and the others on the Iraq commission have decided to surrender. Strange...I thought one only surrendered when defeat was imminent, but apparently this is where we are as a country. We don't fight to win anymore...we capitulate because the home-front has lost the nerve to stick it out, and we now take unexplained comfort in words like "Diplomacy" and "Dialog" when we know deep down inside our enemy scoffs at such terms, and looks upon us as weak and without the resolve to defeat them.
With that, I offer this poem to my brothers and sisters in arms...who died and will continue to die...for something they believed in - but evidently not enough back home did.
You are forever now - and will always be - my heroes (I think I read that in a book once). God bless you, and may He take mercy on America's soul for the inevitable attacks that will be fueled by this.
We thought of you with love today,
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday,
And days before that too.
We think of you in silence,
We often speak your name.
Now all we have are memories,
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake,
With which we'll never part.
God has you in His keeping,
We have you in our Heart.
You lived your life with honor,
We backed you just the same.
But now the time has come to pass,
May God forgive our shame.

we'll pull out eventually. pat ourselves on the back because we're enlightened. go through another major attack. get scared again. send troops back over to make ourselves feel safe again. rinse, lather, repeat. i'd like to say that if it comes to that again, i'd thumb my nose at the masses and tell them to go screw, i'm not going over again, but i imagine that won't happen.
Yes...that's pretty much what I'm saying as well.
