MISSILE STRIKE!
Did you see those pictures on television over the weekend? A ground-to-air missile struck a cargo plane on approach to Baghdad International Airport. You could see the airplane's wing on fire as it made its approach and landed at the airport. The crew landed safely and nobody was hurt.
This attack was in Baghdad. How long before some Islamic goon gets one of those missiles into this country and manages to hit an American airliner departing or arriving at an American airport. Do you have any idea what that would do to the American economy? Ask yourself ... if you heard of 200 passengers dying after a missile strikes a commercial airliner, how long would it be before you flew anywhere? In order for the airlines to remain in business they would have to immediately install devices designed to prevent a missile strike ... at a cost of several million dollars per airplane. You do know who would bear that cost, don't you? Hint .. it wouldn't be the airline shareholders.
So .. why hasn't it happened in this country yet? Perhaps the main reason is because our president has taken the fight to the Islamic terrorists, instead of waiting for them to bring the fight back to us. Many of the terrorists who have entered Iraq from Syria, Iran, Egypt and Saudi Arabia to attack American troops there might well be looking for a way to get into the United States to their damage here is they weren't otherwise occupied. The war against Islamic terrorism must be fought. We tried appeasement for eight years under Bill Clinton; you see what it brought us.
Two years ago most of you wouldn't have bet five bucks to win a thousand that we wouldn't have another serious terrorist attack on our own soil by the end of 2003. Maybe you ought to sit back and give a few minutes thought to why we have thus far avoided that second attack. One reason. It's because we actually had a president in office on 9/11 who took his responsibility to protect and defend our country seriously ... unlike some previous presidents we could mention.
Today we learn that British intelligence MI-5 is currently tracking suicide bombers in Britain. How confident are you that some suicide bombers aren't trying to get into the United States right now? Remember ... our ability to protect ourselves from these goons has been severely compromised in the US because of our absurd and deadly adherence to the principles of political correctness. Remember .. .no profiling! Look for weapons, not terrorists.
Go on ... protest your buns off. Just remember, on one side we have Americans who realize that, as Churchill said, it is sometimes better to fight when victory is assured ... if you stick to it, that is .... then it is to wait until victory is in doubt but it is better to fight than to live as slaves. On the other side .. the side of the appease and protest side .. we have the head of the British Communist Party, the head of the London Council of Mosques, and great American heroes like Ted Kennedy, Barbra Streisand and Michael Moore.
