STAY THE COURSE IN IRAQ

I believe all Americans want to win the war on terror! We need to keep this objective constantly in view until victory is achieved. Remember, United We Stand--Divided We Fall. We must continue aggressively to pursue and eliminate those who execute acts of terrorism, and those who support or enable these acts. For several decades, our country and the countries of Europe tried a passive approach to defeating terror. This approach allowed terrorism to mushroom and become the monster it is today. Because we have permitted this monster to grow over many years, the task of dismantling the terror network will take much time, and will unfortunately cost more lives.

The war in Iraq remains an important part of the war on terror. We must stay the course there, and continue to work with the Iraqis to help keep their government in place to fight terrorism throughout the Middle East.

The leaders of the Democratic Party are essentially providing aid and comfort to the enemy with their politics. John Kerry and Edward Kennedy have voting records of not supporting our military, and their idea of appeasing the French would mean working by committee and continuing their policies that allowed Al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups to grow. Remember the words of Edmund Burke, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”

Joe Lieberman has been one of the very few Democrats I have heard say “Our Troops Must Stay” in Iraq. Every one should read his thoughts on this subject. Go to http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110007611 to see them.
