LTE: "Demos' charges only undermine us"

Demos' charges only undermine us

The first question on the war in Iraq that needs answering is: "Can we win?" If we stand united, yes. If we are divided, no.

Instead of focusing on winning, the Democrats are focused on spreading false charges that the president manipulated intelligence and lied to get us into war. This in spite of the fact that there have been three separate investigations that refute these allegations. These include reports by the bipartisan 9-11 Commision, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and the Robb-Silverman Report, all of which found that there is no evidence that this was the case.

The propaganda strategy is working as indicated by recent polls. Joseph Goebels, Hitler's propaganda czar, said that if you tell a big lie often enough and loud enough it will become fact. The Demos have become very adroit in the use of this tactic in disregard of the adverse impact on our troops and to the delight of the terrorists. Our enemies are depending on the Democrats to defeat us. They have said so!

The second question is: "What happens if we lose?"

When we walked away in Vietnam, we didn't have to worry about the North Vietnamese coming to attack us in our homeland. A huge victory for the Islamic fanatics will embolden them to carry out their avowed mission of destroying the West and attack at will. Thousands will flock to their banner and freedom will die in the Middle East along with Israel. You think oil prices are high now? Am I sowing fear by this viewpoint? I hope to God that I am!

The U.S. will become an impotent nation without any credibilty. Forget any adherence to treaties we have. If we lose in Iraq it will be the beginning of the end of our country.
