A Few Shiny Pebbles

Obama is giving a speech. Just a moment ago he said, talking about the Berlin Air Lift, that at that time retreat would have allowed Communism to march across Europe.

Mr. Obama, please read the speech you are giving when you finish so you can think about what you said. Why can't you see that in Iraq, retreat would allow Radical Islam to march across Iraq, and be a threat to Saudi Arabia and, in truth, the rest of the world.

History offers us warnings. Freedom is in danger as we speak. Let's be as brave and far-sighted as we were 60 years ago, as we were in the effort you have just praised so highly.

In my first post on this blog, I wrote:

Weapons of Mass Destruction look out at the world through hate-filled eyes, waiting their chance. Removing a Saddam Hussein removes a vast source of such chances, furthering our cause in giant strides. The future demands no less of us than this, that we take such risks for such gains, and that we count ourselves blessed that there are brave hearts and spirits willing to shoulder our dreadful burden.

Yes, Mr. Obama, we are involved in a World War, we are trying to "answer our destiny", to "remake the world" once again. In another post, I wrote,

They must be stopped, over longer time frames than we have ever had to maintain a conflict, by methods that are agonizingly difficult, by people who fight courageously for us and must be supported in every possible way. If they are not stopped, then the Terrorists will engulf first the oil-rich Middle East and then, slowly, inexorably, the rest of the Muslim world, and finally the Western world itself, extinguishing the human rights and freedoms we unconsciously rely on. Our birthright will be taken from us by a power that we allowed to grow and grow and grow into an unconquerable monster.

A victory in Iraq is crucial to our country's effort to keep assets from terrorist hands, and to send Freedom on the march it must take to fulfill our destiny.

Read your speech, Mr. Obama, and try to understand what it is you said.
