I wonder how many US troops have died because of the leftards and Democrats feeding them encouragement? Just keep going, more bombs, we will wear down the real enemy for you, the American people. Any guess? How many more will die for the same reason ...
I will admit the media is not complimentary to the current status. But it took a longer time than I thought before it really became more against the war than generally for the war. And even the noisy dems and liberals were largely silent early on. But guess what? Much of the resistance we are facing now was happening back then. Before "feeding of encouragement" could really be considered a factor.
Frankly, even if we had nothing but a rosey picture from the Dems and the media, we would still be in the same situation we are now. The Dems and the media are simply easy targets vs focusing on the real core problems and motivations of the middle east.
