Rove says troops will remain in Iraq, despite calls for withdrawal

> The Bush administration will not pull American troops out of Iraq until victory is won, despite the growing number of Democrats urging a withdrawal, presidential adviser Karl Rove said Saturday.

> Abandoning Iraq now would signal to U.S. allies that America can't be trusted, Rove said.

It would also be the clearest possible signal to America's enemies that America could be attacked with impunity and resisted effectively by guerilla warfare. Thereafter, 9/11 would look like a pillow-fight compared to what would follow.

To paraphrase Winston L S Churchill, America is "fighting to save the whole world from (Muslim) tyrrany." The pillow-fighters on the Left should stand safely to one side and watch politely while the job gets done.

Good on President Bush. He is a fine Wartime President with many admirers DownUnder. In his own quirky way, he will go down in History alongside the likes of Churchill and Wellington and Washington and Lincoln and Roosevelt: great wartime leaders tend to like to hang out together.

HERE HERE..thanks for your support!! Seems some of our congresscritters are abandoning ship in the storm and will risk lossing the congress to their own fears and personal ambitions!! I detest them for playing politics with our national security because of poll numbers that the press manipulates and massages for lefty reasons. If the sane world does not get a handle on world wide policies pretty soon concerning our 'enemies'..we better all buy forty acres,a mule and horde 60 days of water,tuna, and gasoline under our beds...because all is lost!! Not to mention plenty of guns and ammo when the 'vice police' from the 'shariah law' mounty police start going door to door! I hope they start in California....LOL...on the beaches of 'Barbra' Streisands 'estate'...she would look good in a burka........
