I always remember the saying hangin under Vandenbeurg Air Force Base when I 1st visited it. It said "Peace is our profession".

We cannot have peace as long as Sadddam and people like him run free in the world. They will make it their mission to destroy peace. They cannot stand peace. They hate peace. And they will destroy peace at all costs. The only way to perserve peace it to eliminate these haters of peace before they can do major damage.

Peace truely is the profession of our armed forces. They stand for peace, they defend the peace, and they will go to war to enable us to have peace. The world that we live in does not afford us the choice of no war. The only choice we have is when and how big. Saddam has started the war. It is going on now. Many have died. Many more will die if we do not end the war. The quickest and least costly way to end that war is through decisive action to do so. That action will result in the capitulation by Saddam by his own had or elimination by the armed forces of the US led coalition.

Those who cry for peace will do well to direct their protest against the breaker of the peace, Saddam Hussein, the moral ancestor of Hitler and many other tyrants and whoremongers. We are at war with him now. He threatens our very lives, and to fail to eliminate the threat and defend ourselves is to court disaster and the deaths of millions.
