Understand, the current battle we are engaged in is much bigger than just Iraq. What happens in this next year will affect this country and how our kids and grand kids live throughout their lifetime, and beyond...

Radical Islam has been attacking the West since the seventh century. They have been defeated in the past and decimated to the point of taking hundreds of years to recover. But they will never be totally defeated...

Their birth rates are so far beyond civilized world rates that in time they recover and attempt to dominate again...

There are eight terror-sponsoring countries that make up the threat to the West. Two, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, just need firm pressure from the West to make major reforms. They need to decide who they are really going to support and commit to that support...

That answer is simple. They both will support who they think will hang in there until the end, and win. We are not sending very good signals in that direction right now, thanks to the Democrats...

The other six, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Syria, North Korea and Libya will require regime change or a major policy shift. Now, let's look more closely...

Afghanistan and Iraq have both had regime changes, but are being fueled by outsiders from Syria and Iran...

We have scared Mohmar Gaddafi's pants off, and he has given up his quest for nuclear weapons, so I don't think Libya will ever again be a threat...

North Korea (the non-Islamic threat) can be handled diplomatically by buying them off. They are starving. That then leaves Syria and Iran...

Syria is like a frightened puppy. Without the support of Iran they will join the stronger side. So where does that leave us???

Sooner, or later, we are going to be forced to confront Iran, and it better be before they gain full nuclear capability...

In 1989, Iran and Iraq shot missiles at each other every day for months. They killed hundreds of thousand of their people. They also gassed each other, know why???

It was because they were fighting for control of the Middle East and that enormous oil supply...

At that time, they were preoccupied with their internal problems and could care less about toppling the west. Oil prices were fairly stable and we could not see an immediate threat...

Well now, all of that has changed in the Middle East. The worst part of what we have done as a nation in Iraq is to do away with their military capability. Now, Iran has a clear field to dominate the Middle East, since Iraq is no longer a threat to them...

They are convinced they will win because the USA is currently so divided, and the Democrats (who now control Congress and may control the Presidency in 2008) have openly said we "are pulling out."

Do you have any idea what will happen if the entire Middle East turns their support to Iran, which they will obviously do if we pull out???

It is not the price of oil we will have to worry about. Oil will not be made available to this country at any price. I personally would vote for any Presidential candidate who did what JFK did with the space program. That is to declare a goal to bring this country to total energy independence in a decade or less and actually do something to make that happen...

The time is way past due to drill more whenever and wherever we can find oil in our own Country. We need to build more Refineries right NOW and that can be on old Military Bases that have been shut down. And if we get serious and do something to show OPEC that we ARE going to become Energy self sufficient, the price of oil WILL come down...

Yes, it is about oil. The economy in this country will totally die if that Middle East supply is cut off right now. It will not be a recession. It will be a depression that will make 1929 look like the "good-old-days"...

One way or another, Iran must be forced to join modern times and the Global community. It 'may' mean a real war--if so, now is the time to talk first and put World pressure on them, before we face a nuclear Iran with the capacity to destroy Israel...

The human race is a war-like population, and if a country is not willing to protect itself, it deserves the consequences...

Nuff-said!!!

Now, my last comments will get to the nerve. They will be on politics. I am an Independent first, not a Republican nor a Democrat, who still believes in the American dream. George Bush has made enough mistakes as President to insure my feelings about that for the rest of my life. However, the Democratic Party has moved so far left, they have made me support those farther to the right. I am a Conservative who totally supports the Constitution of this country and stands up for those who defend, protect and serve the USA keeping all of us FREE and SAFE...

The only difference between the United States and the South American third world dictator infested and ever-changing South American governments in our hemisphere is our U.S. Constitution...

This 'Republic', note I did not say Democracy, is the longest standing the world has ever known, but it is vulnerable. It would take so little to change it through economic upheaval...

There was a time when politicians could disagree, but still work together. We are past that time, and that is the initial step toward the downfall of our form of government. It's time for those in Washington, DC to WAKE UP and start working together or we WILL "vote the bums out!"...

I think that many view Bush-hating as 'payback time'. The Republicans hated the Clintons and now the Democrats hate Bush. So, both parties are putting their hate toward their willingness to do anything for political dominance, which includes lying and always taking the opposite stand just for the sake of being opposed.

Just how good is that for our country???

You can choose to listen to enriched newscasters, and people like John Murtha (he is no war hero), Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry (same as Murtha), Michael Moore, Jane Fonda, Harry Reid, Russ Feingold, Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, and on-and-on to include the fools in Hollywood if you like. If you do, your conclusions will be totally wrong...

The reason that I write, have my own Talk Show, appear on other radio talk shows, and do everything I can to denounce those people is simple...

They are putting their thirst for political power and quest for victory in 2008 above what is best for this country...

I cannot abide that. Pelosi clearly defied the Logan Act by going to Syria , which should have led to her imprisonment of three years and a heavy fine. Jane Fonda did more to prolong the Vietnam war longer than any other human being (as acknowledged by Ho Chi Minh in his writing before he died). She truly should have been indicted for treason...

This country has started to soften by not enforcing its laws, which is another indication of a Republic about to fall. All Democrats, along with the Hollywood elite, are sending us headlong into a total defeat in the Middle East, which will finally give Iran total dominance in the region. A lack of oil in the near future will be the final straw that dooms this Republic...

However, if we refuse to let this happen and really get serious about an energy self-sufficiency program, this can be avoided...

I am afraid, however, that we are going in the opposite direction of where we need to be headed. If we carry through with allowing Iran to take control of the Middle East, continue to refuse development of nuclear energy, refuse to allow drilling for new oil, and continue to do nothing but oppose everything President Bush suggests, it will be over in terms of what we view as the good life in the USA...

Now, do I think that all who do not support the war are 'Un-American'? Of course not! They just do not understand the importance of total victory in that region. Nothing short of 100% total victory is acceptable in the Global War on Terror and we must not and can not give up when we are so close to achieving just that...

Another failure of George Bush is his inability to explain to the American people WHY we are there, and why we MUST win...

We did find WMD's as was evidenced by the 550 metric tons of Yellow cake uranium just moved to Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The AP did in fact confirm an earlier news story from August of 2004 documenting the discovery of this Yellow cake uranium and several thousand documents detailing Iraq's Nuclear intentions and their past and current desires to make Nuclear weapons...

Just this amount of Yellow cake uranium could have made 142 nuclear bombs and that doesn't include the thousands of drums of chemicals which were also earmarked for artillery shells capable of firing Chemical rounds at Iraq's enemies...

The time has come once again to remind Americans and the World about these documented facts and let the TRUTH be told, once and for all about Iraq and the Global War on Terror. We are fighting against those who are sworn to our destruction and are willing to do ANYTHING they can to kill as many of us that they can...

So either we become Energy self sufficient and do what needs to be done to secure our own economic future, or we will still prepare to go to war to continue doing and being the same way we have been, depending on Foreign Oil for decades.

I prefer the first choice, how about you???
