The Bush Doctrine: We Win, They Lose
By Michael Reagan
FrontPageMagazine.com | July 5, 2005

When someone asked my dad, Ronald Reagan, what his strategy was for fighting the Cold War, he gave a simple answer: “We win; they lose.”

Boiled down to its essence, that’s pretty much what President Bush said last Tuesday night in his speech at Ft. Bragg, and it drove leftists up the wall. Winning wars doesn’t matter to them; the only thing that matters is winning elections, and it also drives them up the wall that all they’ve done lately is lose.

Hat tip: TACAN, who you may remember from this post.

I don't think there's any doubt about what President Reagan would have done, or what President Bush intends to do, or, for anyone who's been paying attention, what we should do. First we finish the job, then we leave. If we snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in Iraq and leave with our tails between our legs, the terrorists will soon be attacking us on our own soil again. It's past time for Michael Moore, Nancy Pelosi, Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, and their sorry allies in Congress and the MSM, to decide that what's best for America is more important than their hatred of our President. Do I expect that to happen? No, but I can dream, can't I?

TACAN, Rurik and I, and some other Viet Nam [see the correction below] vets who prefer to remain out of the spotlight for the moment, are still in the early stages of planning a series of public demonstrations to let the decision makers in this country know that we won't sit by idly and let our current generation of warriors be stabbed in the back like we were.  I hereby call bullshit on those who claim to support our troops but not their mission. This nation owes it to those who've served in Iraq, and especially to those who've died there, to finish the job they started. We will not sit on the sidelines and let what happened to us, and to over 58,000 of our brothers and sisters who died in Viet Nam, happen to a new generation of warriors. We're old, we're tired, and some of us are sick, but we've never run from a fight and we aren't about to run from this one.

Update: Adding a link to Greyhawk's latest Open Post. I know he has readers who agree with us about this and will want to help out.

Correction added 7/11/2005: I've been informed that two members of our core team are Cold War vets but not Viet Nam vets, both having completed their military service before the U.S. was heavily involved in 'Nam. Our team currently consists of those two gentlemen, four Viet Nam vets, and one Soldier currently serving in Iraq, the latter having joined the team after I wrote this post.
