Defeatism Not Justified by Facts

This is part of a quote from Bush's speech last night, in a continued offensive to win back the hearts and souls of America for the War on Terror. In the speech he outlined a 3 part strategy for building the Iraqi democracy, a sore point for the Left, but essential for transfroming the Middle East from a terrorist bastion to a free society:

  • First, our coalition will remain on the offense
  • Second, we're helping the Iraqi government establish the institutions of a unified and lasting democracy
  • a reconstruction plan to revive Iraq's economy and infrastructure

To put it simply, US Forces will bring: security, democracy, and reconstruction

My favorite quote from the speech:

Defeatism may have its partisan uses, but it is not justified by the facts. For every scene of destruction in Iraq, there are more scenes of rebuilding and hope. For every life lost, there are countless more lives reclaimed. And for every terrorist working to stop freedom in Iraq, there are many more Iraqis and Americans working to defeat them. My fellow citizens: Not only can we win the war in Iraq, we are winning the war in Iraq.

Amen! Continue the good fight Mr. President!
