The Absurd Report

“There ought to be no question that declaring defeat in Iraq will encourage every terrorist organization and nation state that means us harm. Defeat will not be the end of it; it will be the beginning of the end of us. Whatever political victory politicians might achieve by sustaining themselves in office will be lost to terrorists who will make sure that those who think they are secure in their congressional seats will face the ultimate insecurity in their homes and offices. Remember, the 9/11 airplane hijackers would have destroyed the Capitol Building were it not for the surge of the brave passengers on United Flight 93. Why is this so difficult for them to understand? It isn’t difficult and it pains me to say it, but too many politicians would mortgage the nation’s future in exchange for a few more years in office.” —Cal Thomas
