Are we there yet?

Funny that the candidates are so quiet on the war issue.

Lauding a winning strategy isn't in the conversation of either the candidates or the press. Yet, there are devoted service men and women who wake up in the morning away from their loved ones, who live a deprived life fraught with danger, and who follow orders because they are sworn to. The cumulative impact of each of their obeyed orders is a world different that it was on Sept 10, 2001, different for us and different for the bad guys. The story is leaking out despite the failure of those who control the information.

We can go to sleep tonight grateful for all of them, from the Privates to the Generals, and the voluntary sacrifice they make.

And, despite the politics of any of it, we can thank a leader with the heart for standing by his convictions despite the opposition, who stands by a principle tall and straight, and has not only not failed us, he is leading us to (dare we say) winning.

Which candidate is strong enough to do the same, to say the same? Let's look and vote for that person.
