If the Iraqi war is lost, then this nation is lost.

To the Islamists any perceived victory in Iraq will be a “sign” to them that jihad against western civilization and particularly America is supported by the almighty and is to be carried to every end of the earth.

Radical Islam is not military but religion-based - and all perceived conquests to them justifies increased slaughter of the infidel.

"If the Iraqi war is lost, then this nation is lost."

I wouldn't go that far...if the Dem's succeed in handing over Iraq to AQ and/or Iran....

What I believe will be lost is the strategic advantage we would have gained....and the wasted sacrifice of so many who would have made a major difference in history....

I am a firm believer, that even the dumba$$ Dem's will one day have no other choice but to fight...it will be that obvious to even them...

Unfortunately, before that moment arrives many will have been murdered by rampaging facists....and reclaiming the advantage, they so happily ceded, will come at cost, in blood and money, that will make today's Iraq look like a picnic....

When that time arrives...we will all finally understand that today's war is not Bush's war....it is our war...
