6 Years Later: Still flipping the terrorists the bird

Remember 9/11? Good, now remember that as long as we continue to kick ass by taking the “jihad” to the terrorists in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Lebanon, etc. that that sort of devastation that was our wake up call (both metaphorically and literally) will never happen again.

A quick review of the good news coming from the war zone at home and overseas:

The surge is working! But the Democrats are still accusing Four star General David Petraeus of lying (surprise, surprise…)

The new bin Laden tape is out, and while there is questioning as to whether the tape is real or not, two big points are made: Osama can’t recruit many more jihadists for his effort, even though the US (the enemy according to Osama and hippies) is in his backyard, and that Osama didn’t even say anything about another major attack against the Americans, rather he just ranted on some left wing talking points, the poor guy.

Fallujah is not being controlled by Marines anymore. It’s not even being controlled by the Iraqi army anymore. This battlefield of a city has now been handed over to Iraqi police, now that peace has been restored to that area of the Anbar province.

Another terrorist attack was foiled last week, this time in Berlin of all places. The great thing about this is these thwarted attacks seem to happen on a regular basis, and we haven’t heard about one that’s gone wrong.

Democrats have given up their unilateral defeatist campaign to lose the war, which is a great sign of progress. Not only does this mean that their whole election campaign was a joke (now more than it was in November), but also maybe now they can use their majority to get some work done in supporting our troops for real as opposed to just paying lip service.

There is also some talk about why Americans aren’t sacrificing anything in this Global War on Terror (now a banned term by Democrats, mind you) like Americans did in World War II with things such as buying War Bonds, rationing gas, and saving scrap metal for the troops (like the steel penny). To that I say two things: 1) The fact that we don’t have to or need to sacrifice our lifestyles to win a war is a fantastic sign as to how well our country is managing at home and in the war zone, and 2) Your extra long lines at security at the airport is sacrifice enough to me, as is your paying 3 dollars a gallon for gas if you wish think that as being a sacrifice for the war effort(even though, oil and gasoline have nothing to do with kicking the terrorists’ butt).

But I urge you all to remember that these terrorists will not stop attacking us until we succumb to their will. Fortunately, that will never be an option to Americans. If you don’t get what I mean, watch United 93 for the terrorist hatred and the US response, some old footage from 9/11 on the news to show the devastation that can be caused when we ignore a dangerous thug, and fly an American flag to show that Americans are still standing strong against this foe, and will not say “we surrender” as a compromise to people that want us dead.

So are Americans overdue for another can of cowardice from al Qaeda? No. Is al Qaeda overdue for a can of whoopass from the West? You betcha.

Have a Happy Patriot Day, and God bless America.
