A war we are winning

Austin Bay:

"It's time for the defeatist hotheads of August to take a look at American and allied success in the War on Terror.

"As the fall of 2003 approaches, Iraq is two battlefields and one birthplace. On one battlefield, the venomous regime of Saddam Hussein dies a slow, painful and dangerous death. Big vipers die killing because killing is their be-all and -- to the last -- their end-all. With cash stashed in Iraq and corrupt banks throughout the world, with weapons littering Iraq's landscape, the snake still has ready poison. It's why Americans who understand the enemy continue to apply deadly, insistent military and political pressure.

"The second battlefield is a large "strategic" ambush, and the enemy entering the kill zone still hasn't quite figured it out. From an American perspective that presents an opportunity, an opportunity with risks, but one with huge potential payoffs.

"In Iraq, America is ambushing Al Qaeda and tag-along jihadis powered by the fantasy ideology of Islamo-fascism."

"...Saddam's Baath loyalists and bin Laden-inspired Islamo-fascists always understood politically free people were their common foe."

"...Defeatist hotheads who natter about 'root causes of terror' must understand the taproot of terror is tyranny."
