We Are Relentless

The killing of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in Iraq proved one thing about this United States administration.

It is not your 90's presidency.

In the past, terrorist leaders such as what's-his-name...oh yeah, Osama bin Laden, have stated that the United States is a paper tiger - bleed her, and she will run. They point to the Blackhawk Down incident in Somalia as proof of our weakness.

But they didn't count on a U.S. President who actually sticks to his guns and does what he says he's going to do.

They also didn't count on a U.S. military that is supported by its Commander-in-Chief and allowed to fulfill its mission.

Despite all the talk about how al-Zarqawi's death is irrelevant to crushing the insurgency in Iraq, it was a great victory. It proved that, with the proper leadership, the United States does not run, we will pursue our enemies, and, in the end, we will prevail.

Let that message ring loudly around the globe, to wherever Osama bin Laden cowers in the mountains of Pakistan, and to the new leader of al Qaeda in Iraq:

We are relentless and we are coming after you.
