9-11 and our troops

As we debate health care, let's not overlook why we have the freeedom to debate. It's called America's Armed Forces.

Everyone knows today is 9-11. Eight years ago, we and the world were attacked by those who want to enslave women and behead men, in pursuit of some kind of crazy utopia eerily reminiscent of Charles Manson and Jim Jones. George Bush answered the call, and whether you agree or not with his methods, we have not had any terrorist attacks on American soil since.

But Nancy Pelosi and her ilk are already trying to undermine our commitment to win the war in Afghanistan. She is talking about not following Gen. McChrystal's recommendations for troop levels, and is fighting an increase in better vehicles and armor for our troops. She also doesn't want them to get paid as much. This is the same person who voted for an $8 billion high speed train from Hollywood to Las Vegas in the Porkulus Package for her actor friends convenience.

Our armed forces are the only people that are truly keeping us safe. Even after Pres. Obama's apology tour, the terrorists and their supporters are still trying to hurt us. Countries like Iran, who are ardent supporters of anti-American terrorism, are still trying to get nuclear weapons through their "peaceful" nuclear ambitions, and the Russians have promised to veto any sanctions against Iran for it's nuclear ambitions. Do you think smiling pretty and being charming is going to help us be secure? Do these people sound like people that want to be reasonable and try to get along with us?

So let's stand together with our troops, and send Rep. Pelosi, Sen. Baucus, Sen. Reid, and Rep. Murtha a note and tell them to increase the support our troops need, and to let the generals fight the war in Afghanistan, not the politicians.
