We need order and control established so these Iraqi's I keep hearing that are so happy we rescued them can police their own. Bush's post war plan is a joke.
Hopefully we have some intel working and can find this corporal before it's too late.
Did I say you had to like Bush or you had to vote for him? No, I did not. Nor did I say voting for Bush would stop the terrorists from beheading people. You simply do not want to see the truth and the facts do you?
Listen VERY carefully. So long as the Democrats and the media attempt to undermine the efforts in Iraq and around the world against terrorism, the efforts will suffer for it. This is NOT a freaking partisan GAME, it is a WAR, and people are being MURDERED, and the enemy is encouraged and emboldened every time a certain group of supposedly intellectual jackprettythanges open their freaking mouths. This is a REAL simple concept, so long as you are half as intelligent as you seem to think you are.
Just like the fact that the U.S. WON the battle of the Tet Offensive, and yet the media and the anti war crowd proclaimed it as a profound loss for the U.S., and the North Vietnamese freely admit that were it not for the media and the war opposition in the U.S. they had been soundly defeated and would be forced to pursue an armistice.
This is NOT hard to grasp even for a group of people who claim to be so much more intelligent than most everyone else. How freaking long do you think World War II would have lasted had the media and the opposing party criticized EVERYTHING FDR did in the effort to win the war from 1941 on? Really. How long? Seriously, if the U.S. media broadcast the same sort of thing around the entire world in World War II they do today, how do youthink it would have turned out?
You simply cannot sit there and proclaim Bush and Cheney to be totally incompetent and evil idiots, and criticize every single thing they do in the war on terror and expect to win, or even have any real success. You cannot expect to vilify your leader, like him or not, and at the same time expect the enemy to respect and fear him or the forces he leads. IT WILL NOT HAPPEN. Do you understand that? Do you even give a damn? This has nothing to do with Democrat vs. Republican, and everything to do with the U.S. being the good guys, and the terrorists being the bad guys. It is that freaking simple, it really is. And if you want Iraq to be stable, and the troops to come home safe, you have to grasp that one simple concept.
