"You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children's children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done."

Bill Whittle - What We Did Right

What did we do right in Afghanistan and Iraq? What did Bush do right in the War on Terror? Hear Bill Whittle as he puts forth his case for America's post-9/11 triumphs.

-The problem with waiting for a smoking gun is that people have already died

-Every major intelligence agency thought Saddam Hussein had WMD - yes, people died, but Bush did not lie

-Enhanced interrogation techniques' were never used to determine guilt or innocence; they were used to gain information from people who proudly and willfully admitted to having hurt Americans

-Because of our hardworking military and intelligence units, we have foiled at least eleven major terror attacks since 9/11

As Mr. Whittle says, Osama bin Laden was killed, not as the magnificent caliph living in the glorious palace he envisioned, but as a hunted coward, and he probably had time to realize that Americans are made of a far different stuff than what he had thought.
