My Military update.

Good news out of Iraq.
Why I love our soldiers. Thanks mudville.
This from Blackfive:
"Things are tough in Iraq, right now. The terrorists are exploiting every opportunity before the November Presidential elections in hopes of affecting the outcome. While times are tough for our military in Iraq, they fight on."

I wonder if it bothers the democrats who support our soldiers that the terrorists hope for a Kerry win? That if Kerry is elected then they will feel that the brutal killing they have done was not in vain. I mean that is the simple truth. You can be for Kerry all you want for all different reasons but it doesn't change the fact that the terrorist want Kerry to win.
And finally, you gotta read Citizen Smash his take on the debate. It is excellent. Heres the beginning.

"THERE WAS A MOMENT in last night’s Presidential Debate that got me angry – and it probably wasn’t the same moment you’re thinking about right now.
KERRY: "It is vital for us not to confuse the war, ever, with the warriors. That happened before. And that's one of the reasons why I believe I can get this job done, because I am determined for those soldiers and for those families, for those kids who put their lives on the line. That is noble. That's the most noble thing that anybody can do. And I want to make sure the outcome honors that nobility."

Kerry is promoting a fallacy here. You can’t completely separate the war from the warriors, because we’re the ones that plan and execute the war. Kerry would have you believe that the President has a sand table in the White House War Room, where he gathers his generals around him and commands them on how to fight the war. He’s telling us that he could do a better job directing those generals than Bush has.
Bullshit."
The rest is worth the read...
