Chasing the Wind

News. Faith. Nonsense.

Feel Safer?

You should:

The Sept. 11 Commission has found that the Bush administration’s war on terror has severely impaired al Qaida’s ability to organize another spectacular attack against the U.S. homeland by capturing or killing the deadly terror group’s key leaders, drying up their financial resources and severely limiting their ability to “strategize, plan attacks, and dispatch operatives worldwide.”

The bombshell finding, buried at the end of the Commission’s Staff Statement No. 15, should have been hailed in the press as evidence that we’ve at least turned the corner in the war on terror – and may indeed have the enemy on the run. Instead, reporters have ignored this particular Commission finding since its release on June 16.

President Bush’s leadership on the war on terror has severely impaired the terrorists ability to wage war on us. That’s the kind of leadership I want in a President.

Thanks to Wizbang for the tip.

    Now who’s sounding like me?…. Did you expect anything else from these guys? Where’s Thomas Paine when you need him. Maybe you should rename your blog to Common Sense…

About Me

Michael, a sinner saved by grace, sharing what the good Lord has shared with me.

Solomon, in the book of Ecclesiastes, said, “I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”

If you’re not living for the glory of God, then what you’re doing is meaningless, no matter what it is. Living for God gives life meaning, and enjoying a “chasing after the wind” is a gift from God. I’m doing what I can to enjoy this gift daily.

Got questions? I’m not surprised. If you have any questions about Chasing the Wind, you can email me at chasingthewind@outlook.com.
