" I sure hope the Iraqis stand up and take the bull by the horns in spite of the Liberals who want to deny them the chance. JR "
Typical BS.
What is typical about it? That is jus' your typical reply to a post you don't agree with.
How much in Iraq got accomplished prior to November?
Great cornflicts, (which we have been engaged in since 1979 and actually got serious on or about in 2001) take quite some time and quite a bit of determination to find a prevaling and winning combination. This cornflict is just as significant, (although admitadly quite different in nature), to the struggles against Facism in the 1930s and 1940s and Communism in the last century: which took most of the century to prevail. The shallow minded political posture of yer question is similar to the Liberals' approach who profited politically on the backs of our Vietnam Vets in 1975.
When your boy had full control of capital hill, I guess he should have taken the bull by the horns then. What was he waiting for? I know the answer, do you?
Mr Bush is not "my boy", he is my, (and your), President. No, (I only have one brain cell), you are the one who claims to know all the answers, so: spit 'em out. This cornflict has been burning since 1979 and got sufficiently hot in 2001 to get our attention. The Libs were even excited for five minutes or so, (and voted to go to war when they were excited and the wind was blowin' that direction). Our advisaries have been operating as their forefathers have for 1500 years. If you are so small minded that you think we can solve these type of profound problems in a six year political cycle with many of our own working with our enemies: you are wrong. This is not a video game: CJY.
All right OMR, for the sake of arguement, let's say it's the libs fault.
Did not say it was the Libs' fault, and there is no reason to argue hypotheticals: the real world situation is dire enough. It is our very capable and determined enemies' fault we are in peril. The Libs are jus' bein' pragmatic n' helpin' 'em succeed n' providing intelligence on all our sucessfull tactics they can uncover to help them, so they can adjust, n' providing great propaganda victories that have suceeded in demoralizing the American people. That's what I said: CJY.
Here is your opportunity to explain. Please explain how to fix the war rather than simply point fingers at everyone except those responsible for screwing it up. Let's hear your solution.
Real simple: CJY!! Kill terroists n' pound all countries that help them, n' show a united, determined and VERY ruthless VERY non PC response to any enemy and stick to that strategy with pragmatic adjustments of tactics and everything we have to bring to bear until they give up or join their maker. It works every time in human history so far, and it would work in this engagement as well, IMHO. The Libs know how to defeat us in our mission as they did in 1975, and we are likely goin' down as we did then. That is not due specifically to Libs, but Abraham Lincoln had a valid observation about divded houses fallin' CJY, and the Islamo facists are much more determined then we are at the present time. The loss of a great American city will likely change that, (as the Libs would have to go underground, and those in power would loose power, if that happened).
Remember though, "stay the course," has been worn out. How about, " a thousand points of light"...........I guess birds of a feather need stupid little rhetorical catch phrases.
