BlueNC reports that The Concord paper (unposted) covered a speech by congressman Robin Hayes, in which Hayes explained what it's going to take to win in Iraq: "Stability in Iraq ultimately depends on spreading the message of Jesus Christ, the message of peace on earth, good will towards men. Everything depends on everyone learning about the birth of the Savior."

Nice pic of a previous generation of Crusaders at the site, too.

Onward Christian Soldiers

Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
with the cross of Jesus going on before.
Christ, the royal Master, leads against the foe;
forward into battle see his banners go!

Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
with the cross of Jesus going on before.

At the sign of triumph Satan's host doth flee;
on then, Christian soldiers, on to victory!
Hell's foundations quiver at the shout of praise;
brothers, lift your voices, loud your anthems raise.

Like a mighty army moves the church of God;
brothers, we are treading where the saints have trod.
We are not divided, all one body we,
one in hope and doctrine, one in charity.

Crowns and thrones may perish, kingdoms rise and wane,
but the church of Jesus constant will remain.
Gates of hell can never gainst that church prevail;
we have Christ's own promise, and that cannot fail.

Onward then, ye people, join our happy throng,
blend with ours your voices in the triumph song.
Glory, laud, and honor unto Christ the King,
this through countless ages men and angels sing.

My favorite line:

Looks like someone missed a memo.

"Stability in Iraq ultimately depends on spreading the message of Jesus Christ, the message of peace on earth..."

Even if we have to bomb it into them.

Missionaries from the American fundy churches are on the case. The trouble is, they're not converting Muslims: that would be too much work. Instead, they're reporting back the stunning numbers on the success they're having "converting" already existing members of the large Iraqi Christian minority to their particular fundamentalist brand.
