"The house we hope to build is not for my generation but for yours. It is your future that matters. And I hope that when you are my age, you will be able to say as I have been able to say: We lived in freedom. We lived lives that were a statement, not an apology."

Armed Forces Support Efforts in Iraq

In what is sure to be a shock to the liberal establishment in America, a recently released poll shows that 63% of the military approve of President Bush's handling of the Iraq situation. Other notable results from the poll are:
  • 60% believe war in Iraq is worth fighting, which strikes a hole in the argument that Iraq is another Vietnam, where most who were fighting there didn't believe the war was worth fighting and disapproved of the political leadership.
  • 2/3 of combat vets believe war is worth fighting.
  • 87% satisfied with their jobs, while only 25% would leave the service if they had the choice.
  • 60% blame congress for the lack of body armor, not Donald Rumsfeld and the rest of the Bush Administration. This also explains why the military didn't go for Kerry in the election, who voted against supplying them body armor.
  • Only 12% believe Pentagon should be held accountable for Abu Ghraib.
