As Tigerhawk long ago wrote, the enemy's strategy is no mystery; it is to vex and exhaust us, to foment defeatism and division at home so our civilian leadership will lose heart and withdraw our soldiers from the field, leaving them in control.

Exactly and we can not let that happen. We conservatives have allowed ourselves to be swayed or cowed by the largeness of liberal lies. It doesn’t help that we have an Administration that doesn’t know how to market itself. There is no shame in getting the truth out and George Bush should stop worrying about the amnesty for the fn illegals and show he is still has the leadership capability he had in taking us to war. We don’t need more equivocation we need a leader that will show a little anger and call to a few hearts against the hoards. This polite upper class Republican “I don’t want to sink to their level crap” is beyond old. We should be knocking heads rhetorically not validating traitors by calling them patriots.
Compare WWII (”The Good War”) where our losses were up to 750 per day after the D-Day invasion of Europe.
They are succeeding. Since last October, Congress has been in a panic, and as Abisaid said that this time, panic is no policy. My guess is that they are more concerned about money than about the lives of our guys. Everything depends on implementing the constitution, and my question is: Are Maliki and the other Shia serious about bringing in the Sunni, or just waiting for us to crush the Sunni insurection, and if we do, will they remain friendly to us (and the Kurds).
