THE REAL TARGET
New York Post Online ^ | August 4, 2005 | Ralph Peters

IN Iraq yesterday a roadside bomb killed 14 Marines. Two days earlier, six Marines from the same outfit were ambushed and killed. Yet those Marines were not the terrorists' primary target.

You were.

Our enemies know the Marines won't quit. But they hope you will.

I hope we do quit - quit leaving our troops out for traffic cops in harms way. Move them out in the desert, and anybody coming within a mile, blow them away.
When they have to move the troops into a town, have the Iraq military clear the road for them.
Any vehicle on the road is toast.

We are a military family. War is Hell and people die in war. That is the price of freedom.

I was sick when I heard about the Marines, and I feel so bad for their familes, but I am grateful for a CIC that understands it is over there or over here.

"I am grateful for a CIC that understands it is over there or over here."

So there's no way terrorists are setting up shop by waltzing across the Mexican border OR through "legal" immigration from Muslim countries? Hmmm...

Consider this: Without stringent border enforcement ordered by the CiC, the so-called War on Terror as a whole is a sham.

Just like Viet Nam, we were winning the war in Nam and are winning the war in Iraq now; what the terrorists are hoping is that just like the Viet Nam war; the enemy can win the propaganda war in America.

DON'T LET THEM DO IT!

Support the troops and let your representatives know it!

Please pray for the Marines who paid the ultimate price this week and also pray for their families. Thank you!
