"There are countless numbers of anti-war zealots on the American Left rooting for failure. They believe the worst about the troops. They've blindly embraced frauds who've lied about their military service and lied about wartime atrocities. They've allied themselves with socialist kooks and coddled murderous dictators. They are looking for any excuse to pull out, abandon military operations and reconstruction, and impeach the president.
They insist on giving suspected foreign terrorists more benefit of the doubt than our own men and women in uniform.
And that, I know, I am not willing to do.
I will wait. I will pray.
I will wait. I will pray.
And I will remind you that while the murder of civilians is and remains an anomaly in American military history, it is the jihadists' way of life. "
