Baghdad GI offers Challenge for all "Lets get out of Iraq Folks"

I see a lot of arm chair Generals out there in Blogsphere that say Iraq is a disaster and we have to get out now. Now I know better because I visit the Milblogs over in Iraq each week. However for those that hold that view one guy on my blogroll has a challenge for you.

Open Challenge!

I've decided it's time to step up to the plate and publicly challenge the defeatists. Over a month ago, I published my explanation for why I believe that we're winning the war in Iraq and I now issue a challenge so listen up: prove me wrong. I'm willing to debate those who can present a logical explanation for why we're losing the war and should their explanation top mine I'm willing to admit my wrongs.Here is my request; whenever you hear or read someone who thinks that the war in Iraq is going badly or being lost, send them to me. Put up a link to this post and tell them they better bring their "A" game.I want this challenge to reach as many of the defeatists as possible and ask for the readers of this blog to assist me in reaching them. I haven't spent much time looking for defeatist websites (mainly because I get it shoved down my throat by the MSM), so if you know of any please send me a link so I can properly introduce them to the truth. I know that I'm making myself a target with this challenge and I'm very willing to do so because I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that we are in fact winning this war.

Debating the defeatists gets boring after a while. After the second one, you begin to wonder if they're all clones.

I tend to find Libertarians tedious. They're almost as bad as the NAACP for attracting members who want to believe they're victims of some kind.

Oh, there are some good and decent Libertarians. I tell them that they're in the wrong party and try to talk them into registering as Republicans.

It just occurred to me that the reason why cities are usually so liberal is because of the illegality of vices which aren't common or welcome in rural areas. So many people in cities get involved in risky behavior that their political views are skewed to justifying and legitimizing their behavior, and they blame their depression and lack of fulfillment on guilt associated with having to hide that part of their lives.

Republicans tend to be happier because we refrain from the types of risky behavior that lead to emotional exhaustion, depression, and guilt.

Libertarians do get tedious. Especially since they are always the critic. I am suprised at this very foreign policy view they have though. It is very Buchanan like. You would think that for a movement that says it loves free trade and free movement of labor that they would see some wisdom in not withdrawing aAmerican military might from overseas
