Just before President Bush spoke the other night, he authorized a raid on a building owned by Iran. The Marines that made the raid detained six Iranians and lots of papers and computer equipment. The Iranians claimed the building was an embassy. The US claims it was just another building.
It was good to make a move against the Iranians. They have gotten away with killing our men and women and financing others to do the same. It was time to catch them in the act of doing just that. When we translate and decode all of the information taken in the raid, we will have a better idea of exactly what Iran is up to in Iraq. That information is invaluable to the President and others planning our national security. It is of no use to the Democrats. They surrendered months or years ago.
When we know exactly what is what, we can plan exactly what responses to make. This information will provide us information about more than just what is going on in Iraq. It should also give good information about what is going on in Iran. We need good information about what is going on in Iran. This will give us some good data. It will be unfiltered through spies. It will have to be interpreted. I just hope that those doing the interpreting will do it right. We cannot afford mistakes.
Whoever came up with this idea deserves a medal. The plan is a winner on every front. Even if we have to give the Iranians back (doubtful), we still win from the information obtained. This shows me that President Bush is serious about winning in Iraq and the war on Islamo-fascism. I hope the next President is as committed to victory as President Bush. Of course, saying that means no Democrat can meet that test. All the Democrats that can be nominated will have surrendered. That means the next President has to be a Republican.
