"The president of the United States did indeed speak last night. He said Saddam Hussein and his sons have 48 hours to get out of town, and, if they dont, were going to take them down and take down the regime.
So, thats whats coming, upcoming, folks. And when that happens and when Americans go into battle, it seems to me that the right thing to do for patriots, when American lives are at risk and Americans are dying, is to unite behind the troops until victory is won.
Now, on BUCHANAN & PRESS, weve had a good debate for eight months on this conflict, ever since last July. Weve had pacifists and super hawks and doves. But now it seems, when the war comes, the debate ends, at least temporarily, until victory is achieved and the Americans march into Baghdad, when the debate will open again as to where we go from there.
But, for right now, I think we back our troops, and that means all of them. And that includes, for this writer certainly, and I hope for many of us, the commander in chief, because, after all, he is our leader in this war.
I think unity is essential at this time, or at least when the guns begin to fire."
