This will be a short post because I am still visiting friends up in Canada, but I wanted to give readers a chance to digest some of the information I am linking concerning the global war against Islamofascism. Readers will notice that I prefer this to the more popular "War on Terror" mainly because it more clearly defines the nature of who has declared war on us.
In a year when we will be choosing a new commander-in-chief, this is still a very important issue as candidate Fred Thompson so plainly put it the other day.
Meanwhile, in Iowa, the field appears to remain wide open. Many pundits think that those who have the best organization (Hillary, Romney) will win, as they saw Kerry's Ted Kennedy-led organization surprise victory in 2004. Others think the passion of the newbies (Huckabee, Obama) will carry the day. Here is the latest poll. It will be fun to watch.
New Hampshire will follow quickly, succeeded by South Carolina. By the time Super Tuesday hits on Feb 4th, the field should be diminished and the pathway to the White House will be much clearer.
Anyway, I highly recommend this assessment of the war. It seems to have a good grip on the global nature of the efforts of those who are waging this religious war. It's also in the news up here as they just lost their 74th soldier of the year in Afghanistan to an IED attack in Kandahar. The population is split over the mission, but the Conservative government is solidly behind the effort.
Happy New Year to all, and I will hopefully have a lot to say about the Iowa results when I get back to St. Louis on Friday.
