WHAT BUSH CRITICS SAW IN IRAQ

“VIEWED from Iraq, where we just spent eight days meeting with American and Iraqi military and civilian personnel, the political debate in Washington is surreal. The Bush administration has over four years lost essentially all credibility. Yet now the administration’s critics, in part as a result, seem unaware of the significant changes taking place.”

Please read the rest of this honest assessment of Operation Iraqi Freedom in the New York Times article below:

VICTORY BEGINS WITH HUMILTY: A LESSON IN HISTORY

During the most difficult time in our nation’s history, the president called for America to humility. Here is an excerpt of this historic letter from the heart of our humble president:

"We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We have been preserved, these many years, in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth and power, as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us! It behooves us then, to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to confess our national sins, and to pray for clemency and forgiveness."

President Abraham Lincoln understood the importance of prayer and repentance. Many Americans responded and sought the Lord in desperation. The Lord heard, forgave and ended slavery and preserved the Union. For the comlete text of this call to national repentance, please go to


Praying with the heart of 2 Chronicles 7:14 is even more critical today than in 1863. Would you join us in humility and pray:

Lord, we are your people who are called by your name. We humble ourselves this day, pray and seek Your face, repent of our sins and for the sins our nation.
Would you graciously hear from heaven, forgive our sins and bring Your healing to the Church and salvation to the lost and dying world? We humbly ask You to bring revival in America & the Middle East. In the Name of Our Humble Savior we pray,
AMEN
