MY 9/11 WEB LOG
"The advance of freedom and human dignity through democracy is the long-term solution to the transnational terrorism of today." POTUS

"Some may ask, well what's the goal of this Global War on Terror? What's the goal of the effort in Iraq or Afghanistan? Well, tell them it's victory. Unconditional, unapologetic, and unyielding." SecDef

"You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs - victory in spite of all terrors - victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival." Winston Churchill 1940

"[MAYBE] Not all Muslims are Terrorists, but [ALMOST ALL] Terrorists are Muslims"

Islamic Fascism 101

"And the least we can do is to call them that: after all, they earned it."

DURING THE LAST 29 YEARS 100% OF ALL ORGANIZED ATTACKS BY FOREIGNERS ON AMERICA HAVE BEEN BY MUSLIMS PRIMARILY FROM MIDDLE EAST COUNTRIES CENTERED ON IRAQ.

Bellum Interruptum

America's unwillingness to close the deal in 1991 only delayed the inevitable in Iraq

"What about the future assessment concerning that fateful moment in 1991? It is conceivable that should Iraq's present democracy stabilize, U.S. casualties cease and reform spread to the wider Middle East, public opinion will shift once more. Then the second war of 2003 will be once again be seen as the proper closure for the flawed end of the first, on Feb. 28, 1991."

President's Remarks at National Day of Prayer and Remembrance...

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2001/09/20010914-2.html

"War has been waged against us by stealth and deceit and murder.  This nation is peaceful, but fierce when stirred to anger.  This conflict was begun on the timing and terms of others.  It will end in a way, and at an hour, of our choosing."

The Bush Doctrine September 20, 2001...

"Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists.  From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime."

On January 31, 2006, as American troops were engaged in remote areas of the Islamic world, President George W. Bush gave his State of the Union Address. "Lincoln could have accepted peace at the cost of disunity and continued slavery," Bush said. "Martin Luther King could have stopped at Birmingham or at Selma, and achieved only half a victory over segregation. The United States could have accepted the permanent division of Europe, and been complicit in the oppression of others. Today, having come far in our own historical journey, we must decide: Will we turn back, or finish well?"

Vietnam, After All?

Formulaic warfare.

"Once we leave, the killing starts in earnest, not 20 or 30 per day, but wholesale slaughter of any Iraqis who taught school, or were clean shaven and wore Western dress, or fought to save Iraq. Millions of refugees flee to the West. Those who stay are killed or "reeducated." Islamism, like Communism, is empowered with the American defeat. We can expect, as in the past, new aggression in peripheral theaters like Afghanistan or Israel. Twenty years from now expect revisionist books reminding us that the battles for Iraq, like Tet, were American victories and the enemy was almost beaten when we quit. Envision one of the late al-Zarqawi's henchmen, like General Giap, in his dotage thanking the antiwar movement."

THE REAL IRAQ

"Is Iraq a quagmire, a disaster, a failure? Certainly not; none of the above. Of all the adjectives used by skeptics and critics to describe today's Iraq, the only one that has a ring of truth is "messy." Yes, the situation in Iraq today is messy. Births always are. Since when is that a reason to declare a baby unworthy of life?"

Winning the Iraq Wars
All of its many fronts

By Victor Davis Hanson

"Finally, we are witnessing a larger existential war, in which Iraq is the central, but not the only, theater. Put simply: will the spreading affluence and liberality of Westernization undermine the 8th-century mentality of the Islamists more quickly than their terrorists, armed with Western weapons, prey on the ennui of a postmodern Europe and America — with our large gullible populations that either don't believe we are in a real war, or think that we should not be?

Americans know exactly the creed of the Islamists and what they have in store for us nonbelievers. Yet if we are not infidels, can we at least be fideles? That is, can we any longer articulate what we believe in, and whether it is worth defending?"

t's an Islamic jihad, stupid

"Discussing the "war on terror" has been endlessly awkward. Terror -- like a blitzkrieg, sneak-attack or disinformation -- is a tactic, not an enemy."

"When Saddam's statue fell, nearly everyone praised the miraculous conduct of war, at one point, 74 percent of Americans expressed approval of the military's incredible victory. Now only half of us say the mission was worth the effort and cost."

"Almost everything that is now written about Iraq rings not quite right: It was a "blunder"; there should have been far more troops there; the country must be trisected; we must abide by a timetable and leave regardless of events on the ground; Iraq will soon devolve into either an Islamic republic or another dictatorship; the U.S. military is enervated and nearly ruined; and so on."

"Yet the historian is bound to ask whether or not the true significance of the 2007-2011 war was to vindicate the Bush administration's original principle of pre-emption. For, if that principle had been adhered to in 2006, Iran's nuclear bid might have been thwarted at minimal cost. And the Great Gulf War might never have happened.
