Our war fighters seem to get it but the Left doesn't want the rest of us to. Why is that? If we leave Iraq we lose the war and the enemy will come here to destroy us.

In a nutshell, here is my beef with the Iraq war. I believe we are there for the right reason, fighting the right enemy, in the right place. Why in the hell are our soldiers riding around in Humvees "on patrol" waiting to be shot at or blown up? Nobody ever won a war playing "defense." Put the Marines on offense, hunt the scum down and send them on their way to hook up with their 72 virgins. They'll soon lose the appetite to kill each other.

Good morning.
"They'll soon lose the appetite to kill each other."

You are buying into the Leftist myth that our people are driving around with targets painted on their chests, doing nothing but dying in a sectarian civil war, as opposed to the reality that they are steadily destroying Al Qaeda while planting a veteran US presence in the heart of Islam.

You are putting out another variation on the Left's "unwinnable war" line, one that says that we are not fully engaging and so will lose.

That certainly sounds like what jveritas is describing.
