(Michelle Malkin apparently doesn't like to share photos, so I'll direct you there to see it)
The photo of the morning comes from reader John M., who e-mailed: “I
am sending you a picture of graffiti that was photographed in
Sacramento California on the I 80 on-ramp heading east to Reno. It
first read “Stop the War.” Someone did what I wanted to do and crossed
out the stop and added ‘Win’ in front.”
Which will it be?
Across the country, ordinary Americans–I’m talking about grass-roots activists without
George Soros funding–are gearing up to bring the fight over the war to
Washington. Summer’s over. Next week will bring a historic clash of
activists. Melanie Morgan and Move America Forward are on their way, leading a cross-country caravan. Check out the driving route to see if they’ll be stopping by a town near year on their journey to answer the ANSWER mob. Catherine Moy reports that Democrat Party organs ain’t happy. Eagles are preparing. Vets for Freedom are mobilizing.
The Victory Caucus is asking for your signature on a petition urging Washington to “Stand By the Mission:”
General Petraeus and the new U.S. Ambassador to Iraq,
Ryan Crocker, will report to Congress in mid-September on the American
effort. We urge our nation’s leaders to:
Recognize the importance of fighting and defeating al-Qaeda, wherever they can be found, not least in Iraq;
Consider the testimony of General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker with an open mind and without regard for partisan politics;
Recognize the significant threat to U.S. national security that a
hasty retreat or a made-in-Washington timetable for withdrawal from
Iraq would generate; and
Listen to the U.S. service members who willingly sacrifice to
protect our country and who do not want defeat legislated in Washington
so long as American troops are on the battlefield.
America has a chance to strike a serious blow against terrorism and
the ideologies that drive terrorism. By contrast, the defeat of the
United States would embolden terrorists, making the world a more
dangerous place for Americans and consigning the people of Iraq and the
Middle East to a perilous future.
We urge you to support our troops by giving them the resources and time they need to successfully complete their mission.
