Will Grigg's Liberty Minute
January 22, 2008

History professor Andrew Bacevich of Boston University is a Vietnam veteran and West Point Graduate whose only son was killed serving in Iraq. He describes how the much-vaunted ?surge? in Iraq has had only one ?undeniable success: It has ensured that US troops won't be coming home anytime soon.? And he points out that ?this was one of the main points of the exercise in the first place.?

The war costs us $3 billion a week -- a total of $1 trillion so far. Americans are paying the costs of the war at the gas pump and grocery store as inflation ? fueled by war spending ? ravages the value of our earnings.

Dr. Bacevich notes that ?far from draining the Jihadist swamp, the Iraq war is continuously replenishing it.? And the war is critically undermining our sovereignty, since Washington must borrow from China and Saudi Arabia in order to pay for it.

How much more of this fatal foolishness are we going to endure?

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
