How's Iraq going???

TEXT of video:

“Dear Mr Obama ,

Having spent 12 months in the Iraq theater, I can promise you this was not a mistake.

I’ve witnessed first hand the many sacrifices made for the people of Iraq. Those sacrifices were not mistakes.

The Iraqi people are just like us. They want the chance to live in a secure world, free from tyranny, free from terrorism, free to prosper, free to raise their children and pass on a future.

Are they better of today than they were in 2002? You bet!

I’ve seen many men sacrifices their lives for the Iraqi people.

They died for a purpose, not a mistake. They died giving hope. They died promoting freedom.

Do you rescue a fireman just as he is about to save a child?

When you call the Iraqi war a mistake you disrespect the service and the sacrifice of everyone who has died promoting freedom.

Freedom carries with it a price.

Because you do not understand nor appreciate these principles, sir, I am support Senator John McCain for President.

He, too, made a huge sacrifice promoting freedom. Because he understands a fundamental truth...Freedom is always worth the price.”

 

The day we lose our will to fight…is the day we lose our freedom.
