To: The Honorable George W. Bush
Subject: Mondays Presidential Address
Dear President Bush,
I am both pleased and encouraged to hear that you have scheduled a nationwide address on Monday, it’s essential that you continue to inform the voting public with respect to the issues which will determine the outcome of both the mid term elections and your success over the remainder of your presidential term.
I would strongly encourage you to be more direct when addressing the critical importance of our ongoing war in Iraq. It is clear to the Islamic terrorist leadership that our victory in Iraq will severely threaten the survival of their movement throughout the Islamic nations. This is the very reason that they have converged on Iraq from around the world, they know this is a fight which must be won if their movement is to survive. The terrorist and those nations which support them must dedicate every available resource and fiercely resist the successful establishment of a free and democratic Iraq. Simply said that is why the war is so painfully difficult and why we must stay the course and win the peace.
While you have obliquely touched upon this message in numerous previous remarks the point has not been clearly made to the American people, and seems lost on the opponents of the war. Surely an old Texan can resort to plain and straight talk on this issue!
