changing tides

I have had several of my friends ask me why I haven't posted anything in such a long time and I suppose it is time for me to answer that question. How about sick and tired of listening to the continuous rant of certain individuals from a certain side of the political spectrum, namely... democrat. Really though I have been down with my health and haven't been able to get real mad so now I am feeling better I am able to get mad now.

I want to go straight to the situation in Iraq. Here we are in a place where our troops are in jeopardy each and every day of getting killed or maimed. They do such a wonderful job of carrying out their orders while showing constraint with the people they are in charge of protecting each and every day of their tour in Iraq. Here in this country the drone of defeat continues across the land as certain individuals whine day in and day out.

Friends, let me ask of those that do this "drone of defeat" what will you do my friend when the battle shows that you are proved wrong? I ask that in all seriousness because I fully believe that the program which President Bush has set out is now beginning to show progress. It has taken a long time but there is evidence that all this effort is now showing the world that progress is indeed being made. What do the Democrat folk do at this point? It seems they have done everything they can to humiliate the president in every way imaginable and in spite of those efforts progress continues to be made. What words do you use when the tides are turned and all is in our favor. That time when the enemy has finally gotten so tired of fighting a war that they no longer control. What do the Democrat officials tell their constituents when they find out we are actually winning the war in Iraq?

In spite of all the negative efforts from the democrat party our troops will continue to do what George Bush said they would do, and that is to give this new struggling democracy of Iraq a chance to succeed in building a freedom unlike anything ever seen in their country before. Will it come to what we have here in the USA? No! It will be something that can be used to build on and expand to a point where they are much better off than any group in that part of the world. Plus it will be a buffer and something other countries may try to copy. Time will tell and that will take time.

So at this point, let us all watch what folks begin to say and do as progress continues in Iraq. Al Sadr will become less important in the coming weeks and months even though other groups in the Shite community will continue to flex their muscles against one another. From all the turmoil between the groups hopefully there will come more compromise and somehow another chance at a lasting truce.

AL Maliki will have to bend concerning the Shiite militias, he cannot do otherwise without losing the position he now has. There will be more groups there in Iraq that will do the right thing by making deals with one another. How far this will go will not be known right away. Time will be the medicine that will either heal or kill. Some will find it right to bring an end to this current situation while others will continue to ride with wild abandon the destruction which has brought such turmoil to this country.

The surge will and is working, and if the Democrat party does not give in to their defeatism, then at that point success can be had. It will not come suddenly but it will happen. This country has to hold together and not bow down to those radicals of Islam. There were words uttered in times gone by about how the house falls apart that stands divided. This is that house we live in now, it is called "America'. If we do not stand together in this time then there may come a time where that falling apart may be down around our own heads and not far away.

More of this to come. There was a reason why the world went against us and I will tell you this in the near future.
