Four years ago, I promised to end the war in Iraq. We did. I promised to refocus on the terrorists who actually attacked us on 9/11. We have. We've blunted the Taliban's momentum in Afghanistan, and in 2014, our longest war will be over. A new tower rises above the New York skyline, al Qaeda is on the path to defeat, and Osama bin Laden is dead. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>

Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
