Everybody in America needs to shut up about the war for ONE(1) (UNO) (ICHI) month.... I honestly believe that if we all provided a unified front for roughly 30 days... the "insurgency" or "terrorists" will give up.
In this day and age of information sharing... Every word written or broadcast can circle the globe in minutes. They HEAR and READ what we think.
JP does have a good point about "getting on board". If the left wants to protect the troops and the right wants to win the war... we just need to stop arguing over it for a small amount of time. Americans can do ANYTHING when we want to.
We could win in Iraq in ONE month. Our parents, grandparents and for some of us great-grandparents sacrificed life and liberty to push back a global menace.... They went hungry and some lost everything. They dropped their plans and their lives to help the world. Are we going to argue like petulant children when confronted with the same type of problem?
Daily, I drive by a monument to that "greatest Generation" and I look at the names that I cannot read as I drive past... And I think of all the soldiers and civilians that stood united for freedom.
Do you think that when all the bodies have been buried and the fires put out and the tyranny destroyed and the dust clears... that YOU will be represented on a similar monument to freedom? Or one to division of greatness?

Doesn't this situation resemble Vietnam to you? Polls show that only 7% of Iraqis who have an unfavorable opinion of the US military, came to that opinion due to their own personal experiences. You have to realize that they are getting this from somewhere else. You know very well some of them are listening to our own Senators. |
Exactly 12thMan. These terrorists are smart. They know our system. Just as they did in planning their attack on 9/11. They have studied our strengths and weaknesses and they know how to play the game. All they have to do is have their detainees make false claims......depend on the liberal anti-war press to pick it up and repeat it as truth......keep repeating it over and over again.....and they will cause the people to lose heart. They depend on the opposing political party to play politics with the information....and make accusations against the president and the administration. They believe they can and will last longer than Americans in this fight. Too bad certain Americans......including Democrat leaders...... are playing right into their hands.
