Cost of Defeat Day

This Thursday, August 16, 2007, radically defeatist group, Moveon.org, plans to bully Americans into an immediate retreat from Iraq , guaranteeing our defeat.

Recently, even the NY Times has reported the progress being made on the ground by the Gen. Petraeus and the brave U.S. troops. They are driving al-Qaeda out, securing neighborhoods, and helping Iraqis rebuild their lives and society.

Moveon.org will talk a lot about the money we are spending. But what they won’t discuss – and in truth, what they just don’t care about – is the overwhelming cost of U.S. and Iraqi lives and security if we give up too soon and lose this war.

Possible outcomes of defeat include:

A bloodbath in Iraq , costing hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi lives and possibly destabilizing the entire Middle East region.

A failed state in Iraq and a safe haven for Al Qaeda to plan future attacks against America and her allies.

An emboldened Iran in pursuit of nuclear weapons and a victorious Al Qaeda in pursuit of new ways to kill Americans at home and around the world.

Our message of hope and freedom for Iraq is silent unless YOU act!

We need people like you to join our Cost of Defeat Day, this Thursday, August 16. It is critical that we educate Members of Congress, the media, and our fellow citizens about the cost of defeat and the importance of completing this mission.

Commit to educating your community. Write letters to the editor of your local papers. Then, this Thursday, call your Senator and Member of Congress.

1. Let them know that you support Gen. Petraeus and you want to win the war on terror!

2. Let them know that the cost of defeat is a price you are not willing to pay.
