Tongue Wigglers - O

I am baffled by the fact that we are not focused on the great fortune that the enemy we are fighting in Iraq, being jointly fueled by Islamic extremists from Iran, Iraq, The Kingdom, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Palestine,and other Muslim brothers, is being fought almost entirely on the soil of Iraq. Our forces are fighting the equivalent of multiple wars, with multiple countries, on one consolidated soil. If we had cleaned up Iraq without any third party insurgency interference ..... we would have already rolled into Syria, and Iran remains a daunting target.

Yet, we have accomplished the perfect Sun Tsu maneuver, by drawing the enemy in. He is on the move to us, he is the guerilla fighter with limited resources being fueled by a cadre of crude weapons and a venomous tongue. The cost in human lives continues to be so very high, but fractional against one, two or three more 9/11 days on our soul. If we had the equivalent of 3 9/11 days on our soul, we would see nearly 10,000 souls die in three days. Weighed against the losses from the onset of our war against the enemy, we are very much in the black.

The members of congress calling, wailing, for withdrawal of our troops, all appear as if deer in the headlights, as if personally being blackmailed or held hostage by al Qaeda.

Do we stay in Iraq? Complete the task of multiple wars, or trip on the 15 yard line? Or do we gently, nicely, and complacently bend to the will of the fearful with political agendas for spines?

It is obvious that the ridiculous, risky and self-serving debate is a cornerstone for 2008. Fader for the firing line when the liberals won't have a platform, and will instead turn to the Kerry/Dean/Hollywood strategy for winning. Assault, assault, lie, lie, lie, confuse, repetitively utilize disinformation and aim at the character and competency of the opponent.

The Iraq war withdrawal debate, or battle as we saw this last week, appears nothing more than the tossing of the gauntlet to let the "Rice" games begin. Her war as much as it is W's. And thus, they must attack it at the core, the mission, the purpose and for its cost lest is become her cornerstone.

Let the tongue wigglers make their utterances. They are mumbles and I do not understand them. They must learn to speak in a coherent language so that I can understand them. If not, I must remind them when they speak, that I do not understand them for they are nothing more the mumbles. (A line borrowed from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory). They will only be empowered if we provide the fuel.
