And The Left Cringes Over This "Home Run"
(Just a quick note...Scroll past this post for the Left's reaction to the speech, and my commentary about it.)
This morning, I was greeted by the President of the United States. No, I was not at Annapolis, but I did wake up to this speech's preparation on the radio alarm this morning. I could not wait. This is something that the president should be addressing and reinforcing on a monthly, if not weekly, basis. I have seen that there are calls from people, especially Sen. Cornyn from Texas, that have called for the president to reinvent the FDR Fireside Chats for the public to hear precisley what is going on in the war. I would like to second this motion, but this is a long speech, and I am not sure he could hit a home run like this every time. So, this will do, but this sort of "combat" against the MSM is needed more than every couple of months.

No, I will not cite the entire speech. That would be insane. However the link above will take you to the transcript. I am going to cite only a few passages from the speech--parts I thought contained the money quotes, notable presentations of what we are doing, how and why we are winning.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you. Thanks, please be seated. Please be seated. Thanks for the warm welcome. It's good to be back at the Naval Academy. I'm pleased to provide a convenient excuse for you to miss class.
I would love it if he could give me a suitable excuse to miss class every once in a while.
This is the first year that every class of midshipmen at this Academy arrived after the attacks of September the 11th, 2001. Each of you has volunteered to wear our nation's uniform in a time of war -- knowing all the risks and dangers that accompany military service. Our citizens are grateful for your devotion to duty -- and America is proud of the men and women of the United States Naval Academy.
This is an enemy without conscience -- and they cannot be appeased. If we were not fighting and destroying this enemy in Iraq, they would not be idle. They would be plotting and killing Americans across the world and within our own borders. By fighting these terrorists in Iraq, Americans in uniform are defeating a direct threat to the American people. Against this adversary, there is only one effective response: We will never back down. We will never give in. And we will never accept anything less than complete victory.
There! For the Left, there is the final objective. It is called victory. Not retreat. Not cut-and-run when the going gets tough. Not a truce; the president stated that these animals cannot be appeased, unless the Left believes in the ultimate appeasement to them. Surrender, complete and unconditional. According to the president, and according to America, that will not happen.
Our strategy in Iraq has three elements. On the political side, we know that free societies are peaceful societies, so we're helping the Iraqis build a free society with inclusive democratic institutions that will protect the interests of all Iraqis. We're working with the Iraqis to help them engage those who can be persuaded to join the new Iraq -- and to marginalize those who never will. On the security side, coalition and Iraqi security forces are on the offensive against the enemy, cleaning out areas controlled by the terrorists and Saddam loyalists, leaving Iraqi forces to hold territory taken from the enemy, and following up with targeted reconstruction to help Iraqis rebuild their lives.
As we fight the terrorists, we're working to build capable and effective Iraqi security forces, so they can take the lead in the fight -- and eventually take responsibility for the safety and security of their citizens without major foreign assistance.
And on the economic side, we're helping the Iraqis rebuild their infrastructure, reform their economy, and build the prosperity that will give all Iraqis a stake in a free and peaceful Iraq. In doing all this we have involved the United Nations, other international organizations, our coalition partners, and supportive regional states in helping Iraqis build their future.
This would be the "plan" that the Left immediately leapt to microphones to decry as the "same old, same old" when the speech was done today. Sens. Kerry and Kenneday wasted little time in retorting to the president's statements, and Rep. Pelosi literally called this "the same old plan." The last time I checked, these doddering old fools did not even have the faintest plan in their minds.
The progress of the Iraqi forces is especially clear when the recent anti-terrorist operations in Tal Afar are compared with last year's assault in Fallujah. In Fallujah, the assault was led by nine coalition battalions made up primarily of United States Marines and Army -- with six Iraqi battalions supporting them. The Iraqis fought and sustained casualties. Yet in most situations, the Iraqi role was limited to protecting the flanks of coalition forces, and securing ground that had already been cleared by our troops. This year in Tal Afar, it was a very different story.
The assault was primarily led by Iraqi security forces -- 11 Iraqi battalions, backed by five coalition battalions providing support. Many Iraqi units conducted their own anti-terrorist operations and controlled their own battle space -- hunting for enemy fighters and securing neighborhoods block-by-block. To consolidate their military success, Iraqi units stayed behind to help maintain law and order -- and reconstruction projects have been started to improve infrastructure and create jobs and provide hope.
That is a considerable turnaround. And it is one, for sure, the Left will attempt to spin. They spin it because they are only willing to look at the "bad news" coming out of Iraq, rather than the good news that creeps out from the blogosphere, and speeches like this.
As the training has improved, so has the quality of the recruits being trained. Even though the terrorists are targeting Iraqi police and army recruits, there is no shortage of Iraqis who are willing to risk their lives to secure the future of a free Iraq.
Another money quote that continues to prove the point that the Iraqis are doing what they need to do to take their nation back. They are signing up. They are being trained, and they are engaging the enemies that still prey upon the soft underbelly of the fledgling nation. They are not relying on us. They are relying on themselves.
Some critics dismiss this progress and point to the fact that only one Iraqi battalion has achieved complete independence from the coalition. To achieve complete independence, an Iraqi battalion must do more than fight the enemy on its own -- it must also have the ability to provide its own support elements, including logistics, airlift, intelligence, and command and control through their ministries. Not every Iraqi unit has to meet this level of capability in order for the Iraqi security forces to take the lead in the fight against the enemy. As a matter of fact, there are some battalions from NATO militaries that would not be able to meet this standard. The facts are that Iraqi units are growing more independent and more capable; they are defending their new democracy with courage and determination. They're in the fight today, and they will be in the fight for freedom tomorrow.
This is one of the most important points made by the president. He is directly challenging those people that naysay the progress of this war, and are still using the antiquated talking point of the Left about this lone Iraqi battalion. And it is a good thing that he points out that even other, standing militaries could not match up to the bar the Left has set with this argument. Rome was not built in a day, and a standing military cannot be battle-ready in a matter of months.
Our commanders on the ground see the gains the Iraqis are making. General Marty Dempsey is the commander of the Multinational Security Transition Command. Here's what he says about the transformation of the Iraqi security forces: "It's beyond description. They are far better equipped, far better trained" than they once were." The Iraqis, General Dempsey says, are "increasingly in control of their future and their own security _ the Iraqi security forces are regaining control of the country."
And it is important that the president relay the statements from our commanders in the field. We do not need the MSM to provide us with statements and analysis from former military people playing the role of the armchair quarterback. We want to hear from the people over there. No one cares, truly, about what Gen. Wesley Clark has to say about this war. He has long since retired, and faded into obscurity.
As the Iraqi forces gain experience and the political process advances, we will be able to decrease our troop levels in Iraq without losing our capability to defeat the terrorists. These decisions about troop levels will be driven by the conditions on the ground in Iraq and the good judgment of our commanders -- not by artificial timetables set by politicians in Washington.
I am sure that this swipe stung the Left. They have done nothing but harp on the president about removing the troops from Iraq. Many of these politicians voted in favor of this war, and have voted to continue the approriations of money to continue the effort. Now, these people want us out. A few have even stated that they are not proud of their vote. They twist the intelligence, claiming that is was phony, and they were not aware of such faults in the data. Guess what? The president did not have knowledge of the faults, either. Yet these people had no problem looking at the SAME intelligence in 1998, and standing behind the president bombing Iraq then.
Some are calling for a deadline for withdrawal. Many advocating an artificial timetable for withdrawing our troops are sincere -- but I believe they're sincerely wrong. Pulling our troops out before they've achieved their purpose is not a plan for victory. As Democratic Senator Joe Lieberman said recently, setting an artificial timetable would "discourage our troops because it seems to be heading for the door. It will encourage the terrorists, it will confuse the Iraqi people."
I posted yesterday that Sen. Lieberman was right on the money with his op-ed. I stand behind it today, still. And I stand behind the president for NOT caving into the miniscule pressure from the Left.
Senator Lieberman is right. Setting an artificial deadline to withdraw would send a message across the world that America is a weak and an unreliable ally. Setting an artificial deadline to withdraw would send a signal to our enemies -- that if they wait long enough, America will cut and run and abandon its friends. And setting an artificial deadline to withdraw would vindicate the terrorists' tactics of beheadings and suicide bombings and mass murder -- and invite new attacks on America. To all who wear the uniform, I make you this pledge: America will not run in the face of car bombers and assassins so long as I am your Commander-in-Chief.
There is a reason why I bolded and italicized this part. It is THE money quote of the entire speech. He slapped the Left in the face, and tossed down the gauntlet. We stay. We are not going anywhere. Get used to it.
Some critics continue to assert that we have no plan in Iraq except to, "stay the course." If by "stay the course," they mean we will not allow the terrorists to break our will, they are right. If by "stay the course," they mean we will not permit al Qaeda to turn Iraq into what Afghanistan was under the Taliban -- a safe haven for terrorism and a launching pad for attacks on America -- they are right, as well. If by "stay the course" they mean that we're not learning from our experiences, or adjusting our tactics to meet the challenges on the ground, then they're flat wrong. As our top commander in Iraq, General Casey, has said, "Our commanders on the ground are continuously adapting and adjusting, not only to what the enemy does, but also to try to out-think the enemy and get ahead of him." Our strategy in Iraq is clear, our tactics are flexible and dynamic; we have changed them as conditions required and they are bringing us victory against a brutal enemy.
Is that what irritates the Left the most. That his simple answer is "stay the course?" Please. Enough already. The Left, in this debate, reminds me of the bratty child in the back seat of a car ride screaming, "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? When are we going to get there? I have to go to the bathroom." It is pathetic. Shut up already; stay the course means we stay until the job is done.
One of those fallen heroes is a Marine Corporal named Jeff Starr, who was killed fighting the terrorists in Ramadi earlier this year. After he died, a letter was found on his laptop computer. Here's what he wrote, he said, "[I]f you're reading this, then I've died in Iraq. I don't regret going. Everybody dies, but few get to do it for something as important as freedom. It may seem confusing why we are in Iraq, it's not to me. I'm here helping these people, so they can live the way we live. Not [to] have to worry about tyrants or vicious dictators_. Others have died for my freedom, now this is my mark."
There is only one way to honor the sacrifice of Corporal Starr and his fallen comrades -- and that is to take up their mantle, carry on their fight, and complete their mission.
I bring up this passage for one particular reason: The New York Times completely twisted this young soldier's last letter. The bloggers brough it up. It has had NO mainstream notice. So, with this there are two possibilites of why the president injected this into the speech (other than the obvious, which is he understands the sacrifice, and grieves for their and their families). Either A) someone informed him of the report in the Times, or B) the staff reads the blogs, and let him know of the slander of the Times.
We will take the fight to the terrorists. We will help the Iraqi people lay the foundations of a strong democracy that can govern itself, sustain itself, and defend itself. And by laying the foundations of freedom in Iraq, we will lay the foundation of peace for generations to come.
You all are the ones who will help accomplish all this. Our freedom and our way of life are in your hands -- and they're in the best of hands. I want to thank you for your service in the cause of freedom. I want to thank you for wearing the uniform. May God bless you all, and may God continue to bless the United States of America.
This speech was one of the best of his tenure in office. And the points made in the speech have needed for a long time. It is about time that the administration started swinging back at those that have attacked it. There is a serious difference between honest criticism, and outright attacks. The Left has launched into a campaign of vitriolic assaults against the administration, and the sole goal of these atrtacks are to demoralize not only the president, and those involved in the war, but also America as a whole. It is time for America to stand as resolute as our soldiers in the field, and tell the Left to shut up. Send them packing in 2006, and send a message to their party that the extremist Left does not set the tone of the party, or of the nation.

Each of you has volunteered to wear our nation's uniform in a time of war -- knowing all the risks and dangers that accompany military service. Our citizens are grateful for your devotion to duty -- and America is proud of the men and women of the United States Naval Academy.
A smart move on the part of the president to remind everyone in this nation--conservative and liberal, alike--that the people who eat mud, and are shot at have made this choice on their own. We possess a voluntary military. There is no draft. Everyone in the military knows precisely why they are there, and what they are fighting for.
In the years ahead, you'll join them in the fight. Your service is needed, because our nation is engaged in a war that is being fought on many fronts -- from the streets of Western cities, to the mountains of Afghanistan, the islands of Southeast Asia and the Horn of Africa. This war is going to take many turns, and the enemy must be defeated on every battlefield. Yet the terrorists have made it clear that Iraq is the central front in their war against humanity, and so we must recognize Iraq as the central front in the war on terror.
Yes, Iraq is THE central front. The terrorists have chosen to make the proverbial last stand there. They have chosen Iraq for a simple reason: Now no longer under the boot-heel of Saddam Hussein, they see an opportunity; a power vacuum that is not fully under control of the new government. That is a mistake, and for the terrorists, it will be a costly one.
These terrorists have nothing to offer the Iraqi people. All they have is the capacity and the willingness to kill the innocent and create chaos for the cameras. They are trying to shake our will to achieve their stated objectives. They will fail. America's will is strong. And they will fail because the will to power is no match for the universal desire to live in liberty.
This is a key point of the whole speech. Not only to reinforce when we see this mission as complete, but also to reinforce to America that the Iraqis want us out just as quickly as we want out. We can only leave when Iraq is ready to stand on it's own as a true, free nation that has embraced the concepts of liberty.
The terrorists in Iraq share the same ideology as the terrorists who struck the United States on September the 11th. Those terrorists share the same ideology with those who blew up commuters in London and Madrid, murdered tourists in Bali, workers in Riyadh, and guests at a wedding in Amman, Jordan. Just last week, they massacred Iraqi children and their parents at a toy give-away outside an Iraqi hospital.This is an enemy without conscience -- and they cannot be appeased. If we were not fighting and destroying this enemy in Iraq, they would not be idle. They would be plotting and killing Americans across the world and within our own borders. By fighting these terrorists in Iraq, Americans in uniform are defeating a direct threat to the American people. Against this adversary, there is only one effective response: We will never back down. We will never give in. And we will never accept anything less than complete victory.
