The main problem with the war in Iraq, to me, is that in the last 50 years or so, we've been made to forget what it takes to win a war. We've been talked into being happy with stalemates and even outright defeat. We're America; a great, strong, noble and beneficient nation whose enemies should nonetheless tremble before our terrible might. But no....we're America. We should be big enough to be willing to lose, and gracefully, at that.
When did this happen? When we started listening to the UN. I've heard it said that the UN doesn't prevent war, it just prevents war from working....especially when the US is one of the combatants.
The Democrats, especially those in power now, will be more than happy to see us lose the war. Billary, Bela Pelosi, Dick Turban, John Conned-yers, (sorry, the funny nicknames stop here) John Kerry, Jack Murtha....they'll all be more than happy to see us lose.
This is because, as former 60s and 70s radicals, they hate the idea of a strong, successful, unified America. They'll do whatever it takes to undermine any effort that keeps us in the running.
Never before has this country faced a greater threat from the Left than it does now; never before have we been governed by minds that seek to dismantle that over which they preside, in order to rebuild it in their own image.
They want us to lose; it'll result in a real, true lack of intern ational prestige, not just the supposed one they always refer to. They want the America of Vietnam back, because they won that war by making America lose by default.
Our troops won on the battlefield, but we lost in Washington, on college campuses, on the CBS Evening News and at the Peace Table in Paris; all thanks to them. They hate Capitalism, Corporations, the military, the CIA and anything that helps America maintain and spread its greatness.
What they fail to see, however, in their mania to regain their youthful glory days, is that North Vietnam was no real threat to Main Street USA the way Islamic Fundamentalism is. North Vietnamese troops were not going to be marching down the National Mall; terrorists just might come skulking down that way, and soon.
They don't care; they hate Bush because he "stole" the elections, flew those damn planes into the towers and got us into Iraq on flase pretenses. They hate America because it succeeds as a nation.
Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, even Johnson; they were Democrats from the Democratic Party. Too many of the people who got voted into power this month are self-loathing, America-hating Moonbat liberal "Democrats" with roots in the Socialist Party. All we can do is hope they fall all over each other in their rush to destroy the nation they hate, and fail.
And mark my words....when the troops come home, and we start talking and negotiating with our Fundamantalist enemies.....when Washington, or New York, or Boston, or LA, or Chicago.....or maybe all five, go up in mushroom clouds.....the Republicans will somehow have to take the blame. The Dems will never, ever admit their own America-hating, self-righteous foolishness and meddling, short-sighted idiocy.
