Burns' analysis is dead-on.

Burns analysis is a stringing togehter of the usual never been anything Talk Radio host slogans and Democrat Campaign propaganda, it demonstrates a complete ignorance of all ground truth in Iraq. Rather the mindlessly cling to their basically racist, Neo Isolationist dogmas, how about the Know Nothings actually try LEARNING something about Iraq? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_of_Iraq http://icasualties.org/oif/

Remember too that in 2005 many Democrats were saying we needed more troops. Now that more troops are there, they say they’re against the surge. And nearly all Democrats until recently were in favor of a smaller army. Under Clinton, the army lost 10 divisions, which would double the army if present today.

I stand corrected. Thanks

“Are there any brave men left in Washington, or are they all cowards?”

I think it’s accurate to say that the brave and bold in this country (in Washington AND among the population) have dwindled to a relatively insignificant minority to be replaced by those who hold moral relativism and moderatism as the highest ideals.

Perhaps it’s because we’ve had it so cushy in America for so long that a sense on lazy entitlement has taken hold, or perhaps it’s some other reason, but I’m pretty certain it will take a long term disruption in our nationwide feeling of comfort and security to begin to reverse the trend. In any event, our present course isn’t sustainable for too many more years.
