#8 So, did our president mention the border fence last night ?
I didn't listen. But I did find that he missed a great, GREAT chance to belittle the democrats who sat on their hands after mention of victory in Iraq.
My speech....The war on terror is multifaceted. From our borders, to the phone conversations of Islamic radicals, to the war zones, to a variety of locations experiencing terrorism, back to America in the form of comfort and support offered by the media and legal counsels. We must fight and win on all fronts. We must win back the media, the New York Times, CNN, and others. We must win the loyalty of all of our politicians, and all of our citizens to defeat terrorism. We must define the enemy and take the fight to them. We must smash al Qaeda, smash the Taliban, smash Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, even CAIR. And to do so, we must not allow the ACLU or the Washington Post to stand in our way. We must win the war in Afghanistan, and win the war in Iraq.
Then, as no democrat stood and cheered, the POTUS should have pointed to them, and said, 'This is what I'm talking about. Our enemies are delighted when we show a divided America. We MUST stand united behind our soldiers, or give up being the America we all grew up in. Which is it ? Win or lose ? |
This war is more than a clash of arms — it is a decisive ideological struggle, and the security of our Nation is in the balance. To prevail, we must remove the conditions that inspire blind hatred, and drove 19 men to get onto airplanes and come to kill us. What every terrorist fears most is human freedom — societies where men and women make their own choices, answer to their own conscience, and live by their hopes instead of their resentments. Free people are not drawn to violent and malignant ideologies — and most will choose a better way when they are given a chance. So we advance our own security interests by helping moderates, reformers, and brave voices for democracy. The great question of our day is whether America will help men and women in the Middle East to build free societies and share in the rights of all humanity. And I say, for the sake of our own security ... we must.
