August 16th: A Day that Will Not Live in Infamy

Yesterday, we remembered August 15th, which marks Victory over Japan Day and the official end of World War II.

Today, marks another victory in the war on terror. A victory which may go unsung by many, but one which offers superb lessons for ultimate victory in this latest war.

The plot to blow up multiple airliners between Britain and the United States was planned for this day, Wednesday, August 16, 2006.

Had it gone undetected, the death toll might easily have eclipsed September 11th and sunk the spirits of the West once again into tragedy and mourning.

The plot was foiled due to international cooperation of U.S., British and Pakistani governments aided by the tools of communication and financial monitoring the United States has undertaken in the wake of September 11th.

Yet, there are those who describe this plot as "alleged" and Democrats who announced in the wake of these events that somehow we are less safe and lack the international cooperation necessary to make us more safe.

Mark This Date Down: August 16, 2006. A Day When Nothing Bad Happened. Remember It in November!

Democrats rushed to the microphones last week to claim the Bush Administration has politicized the war. These are the same people who have politicized and obstructed, every effort that led to our successful foiling of what would have been another horror story in the sky.

Remember this day in the weeks ahead. Time is short and the Battle for Congress will be decided on November 7, 2006 and the outcome determines whether we continue the slow, yet steady, progress we have made or lurch back to political leadership with a mindset that has shown it does not understand the threat, nor does it have any practical or effective solutions to counter that threat.

August 16th is a VICTORY in the War on Terror!
Let's claim another VICTORY in November!
