"WE WILL STAY IN THE FIGHT UNTIL THE FIGHT IS DONE !"

With pressure from his critics and the usual rhetoric from the media and the left, the President took to the podium at Fort Bragg the home of the famous, "82 airborne" and reminded the American people and the world why we fight and why the battle for Iraq is of vital importance to the United States, the Middle East and the World! Referencing the terrorist attacks of September 11 as the catalyst to the War on Terror and mentioning the fall of the Taliban and the continuing victories and progress in Iraq, the President once again emphasized the need to continue the fight until the mission is completed and the Iraqi people can fully and completely defend themselves and insure their own security. The President once again told us that there is still much work to be done but a lot has been accomplished including the timely transfer of power, free elections, all peoples represented in a freely elected government as well as schools, ifrustructure and daily necessities of life continually improving. Iraq has become terrorist central and terrorists from throughout the region have converged in the country for what Osama Bin Laden concluded will be the terrorist, "final victory or ultimate humiliation and defeat." President Bush expressed in great clarity, confidence, sincerity of purpose, honesty and strength that, "we will stay in the fight until the fight is won." This inspite of the terrorists creating, "chaos for the cameras" on a daily basis. The battle will be hard, the sacrifice great but with great emotion the President stated that, "our enemy is brutal, but they are no match for The United States of America and they are no match for the men and women of The United States Military!" With the Fourth of July a few days off President Bush asked that we thank and honor our military by flying the flag, sending an e-mail or letter and/or helping a military family in our neighborhood. The following web site has been established for just that purpose and a perminate link can be found on this web site's left side-bar. The site is http://www.americasupportsyou.mil . A tremendous speech by our Commander in Chief to remind us of our marvelous men and women in uniform, those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of freedom in New York, Washington, Pennsylvania, Afghanistan, Iraq and throughout the world. Shining the torch of Liberty and Freedom to bring to an end the brutality of oppression and radical religious hatred that seeks to destroy the promise of democracy and freedom here and abroad. God bless our President, our military and this great Nation!
