Fighting the Enemy "Over There"

The New Chief of the JCS, Marine Gen. Peter Pace yesterday lauded the Vets and exclaimed there is "no way we can lose" the War on Terror, if we stand firm:

"You can fight it in Iraq, you can fight it in Afghanistan or we can fight it here at home," Pace said. "My choice is to fight it overseas."
Pace said he takes great pride in the fact that 50 million people in Iraq and Afghanistan can now make their own decisions.

He went on the praise our new allies in the war on Terror, the new Iraq Army:

The Iraqi military and police are key to success in the nation, he said, noting that he's optimistic about the progress the Iraqis are making in a short time.
When former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein fell, the coalition disbanded the Iraqi military. This left no trained and equipped Iraqi forces.
...Today the Iraqi security forces include 210,000 Iraqi soldiers and police. Iraq has one division headquarters, four brigades and 24 battalions, "in the field as we speak, controlling various parts of that country," Pace said. "I am very, very positive and optimistic about their capacity to take over responsibility for their own country."

We are too! Thank you Gen. Pace, and all you fighting the Good Fight!
