While liberals continue to tell America that Iraq is not apart of the war on terrorism, a revolutionary partnership has taken place in Iraq that confirms exactly the opposite. The Washington Times reported today that, "U.S. forces have brokered an agreement between Sunni and Shi'ite tribal leaders to join forces against al Qaeda and other extremists..."
Public Terrorist Number One is Al Qaeda, and it has terrorist cells in Iraq.
The rival tribes Suuni and Shi'ite have been warring factions for hundreds, or thousands of years. For these two groups to join forces is historic. It takes something pretty extreme to cause these rivals to halt their bloody feuding and take up arms against someone else. But Al Qaeda has enough of a presence in Iraq that it is the catalyst.
Iraqi President Talabani told President Bush earlier this year that, "We have serious problems with terrorism. The main enemy of Iraqi people is al Qaeda and terrorists cooperating with them."
So liberals, take a hint. We cannot accept anything except complete victory in Iraq.

Great article at WND! Congratulations on a fine blog too.

I don't know where you get the idea that liberals want Al Queda in Iraq or anywhere to win. I don't know anyone who holds with that idea.
But in order to win the war on terror or the war of ideas, everyone has to do their part. Given your apparent age and obvious gender, have you considered taking the fight to the real enemy and volunteering for national service? The war in Iraq won't be won in the streets of America, after all.
Here's what this liberal sees as the probable conclusion to the war. The troops who are there now have been there too long without relief and without the weapons and equipment they have needed. I'll leave discussion of planning for the war aside for now. If the Department of Defense is going to keep its promise to the men and women in the field, troops will begin withdrawing in early 2008. Who will take their place? If you and your kindred spirits let it happen, Al Queda in Iraq will have won. Is that what you want to be remembered for in 50 years time?
The facts are plain. This war has lasted longer than the combined defeat of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan, two well-equipped military powers with land, air and sea power to rival anyone. Meanwhile, our brave men and women are fighting for the liberation of Iraq.
When the currently deployed troops come home, who will pick up the fight? I think they will be very disappointed to find no one at home willing to take up their duties and leave the field for the enemy. Will their efforts be wasted? Will the blood of almost 4,000 American dead be spent for nothing?
I hear the voices of many young men your age demanding victory but I have to ask when all of you plan to fight for it.
I have to say it concerns me to note that comments are moderated here and my words may just vanish into the ether. America is watching to see how this generation steps up. Is it all about the blogging and columns at friendly websites? Or is there a real fire in there somewhere?
