The victory of the Democrats in taking control of Congress in November of last year has had a chilling effect on America's resolve to fight global terrorism. The Bush Administration, stung by the loss of Congress for the first time since George W. Bush took office, seems to be on a course of retreat, as if the wind has been knocked from its sails.
Caroline Glick examines the problem in her latest column for the Jewish World Review. Here is an excerpt from Glick's chilling analysis:
'THE US policy of appeasing jihadists in the Horn of Africa is just one example of the recent turn that US policy has taken regarding the war against the global jihad. On every major front, and particularly in its dealings with Israel, Iraq and Iran, the Bush administration is implementing policies that undermine its allies, strengthen its enemies and consequently harm US national security interests. While the administration and the new Democratic Congress argue over troop levels and funding for the US military in Iraq, as former CIA analyst Robert Baer wrote last week in Time magazine, Iran has effectively taken control of Basra, Iraq's port city and oil hub. The Iranian toman rather than the Iraqi dinar is the currency of trade in the city. The Shi'ite holy city of Najaf is also veering toward becoming a protectorate of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.'

Let's face it. George Bush has been the best president of the 21st Century.
I have a much better idea. Let's support our troops as they do the job they were hired by their government to do...and which they volunteered to do when they signed up! You are not supporting your troops or your country by encouraging them to leave in the middle of doing a vital and necessary task.
