It helps to be patient and on the side of angels.
It also helps to have lunatics for enemies.

The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones "Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra" "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche "A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke "Μολὼν λαβέ" -- Leonidas "Blogito Ergo Sum" -- Neptunus Lex Relocating?Military members find information on homes for military by visiting Military Homes.com For the Effort!Subscribe![]() Tagsafghanistan AGW Araby army Blogging buffoonery china culture economy Flying Friday Musings geopol GWOT Headlines health care History iran iraq issues Media Memory Lane Military Navy norks Oz pakistan piracy politicians politics Politics and Culture pundits Russia science seals sea stories silliness Small Stuff SoCal sport technology UAVs UK usaf usmc weapons WP Cumulus Flash tag cloud by Roy Tanck and Luke Morton requires Flash Player 9 or better. |

Another nice piece I just finished reading (on company time too but I couldn’t stop).
It’ll hearten you further Lex:

That was a good read, thanks B2!
Although it looks like the insurgents/terrorists are starting to crumble, they certainly don’t appear to be on their last legs, although victory can be seen coming slowly. Good reads.
The President (and other US leaders) need to make more of these speeches. It has been stated more than once that if we lose in Iraq, it won’t be because we couldn’t cut it militarily, no, it will be because the American people have lost the will to see the GWOT through. We hear all the time about how badly things are going in Iraq, but I beleive the artical that B2 linked to is more in line with what is actually happening. I beleive victory (re. Iraq able & willing to operate as a free country with out US support) is closer than most of us think.
