Best-selling author Robert "Buzz" Patterson isn't subtle when it comes to titles.
The first book by the talk-radio host, a retired Air Force colonel and one-time White House military aide, was "Dereliction of Duty: The Eyewitness Account of How Bill Clinton Compromised America's National Security."
This week sees the release of "War Crimes: The Left's Campaign to Destroy Our Military and Lose the War on Terror."
That lack of subtlety continues inside:
"At their nation's time of need in this global ideological battle, the American Left has climbed into bed with our enemies," he writes. "They demoralize our brave men and women in uniform and drain our nation of its resolve to fight by convincing politicians and the general public that this is a war we cannot endure fighting any longer."
................One, the "off the charts high" morale of the vast majority of the soldiers and Marines in the field, and their firm belief both in the rightness of the cause and their ability to ultimately prevail —- if given the chance. Two, an increasing feeling of being "undermined and unappreciated," and the corrosive, alienating effects of those feelings. .................denouncing our actions, denouncing our leaders, denouncing the war we live and fight, they are isolating the military from society . . . and they are becoming our enemy."
Also have him point his buddies to:
I am getting the book as soon as I can.
Nearly every military person I have spoken to who has served over there, including eight young Marines who had each done two tours and an 82nd Airborne Medic who served in Iraq all said the same thing:
They could hardly believe it when they came home and saw how the war is being presented by the media. To a man, they view the media and liberals as entities that are deliberately trying to discredit and drag down what is happening.
The blood of our troops is on the hands of the MSM.
Got that right.
This book needs traction - we need to give a heads up to Rush, et al -
and it would be a good spear head for the rest of us to start rallying loud and clear - the media loves noise - for the troops and what they are doing - we CAN fight these traitorous enemies - the media and libs -
WE just cannot let them do to our troops and our Country what they accomplished with Vietnam. And the same da*m traitors, to Boot! Time to give them the boot...
the silent majority has got to BE Silent No More
They were spreading defeatism since before we entered Afghanistan, saying we could never navigate that mountainous landscape, millions would starve there from our efforts, etc. They said we couldn’t beat the Taliban, too much local support, etc. Then we could never beat Saddam's army, our supply line was stretched too thin to Baghdad (remember the panels of retired generals), the Republican Guard would chew us up in Baghdad, we would never get elections, we would never get a constitution there, etc., etc. They have been cheerleading against us all along, all dour, pompous, arrogant, and shameless after being consistently wrong every step of the way.
In the case of bringing peace to Iraq, our demonstrable resolve is one of our most important weapons. With global media and the nature of this conflict, it is a direct assault on the mission to be campaigning against our cause with this undeserved pessimism. It is one and same with giving hope and encouragement to the enemy. Even the endless story of Bush's low ratings, always attributed solely and specifically to his determination in Iraq, is to tell the enemy that the man leading the fight against them has no support, and that they should hold out at least until 2009 when surely someone of less resolve and focus will be elected, maybe even someone who will immediately withdraw. (If this happens, heaven help us.) I blame the old media and the leaders of the Democratic Party for the ongoing deaths and injuries of our soldiers and innocent Iraqis. And this global war with radical Islam will turn against us if don't correct this course very soon. I know... I'm not alone here.
I believe you are absolutely right - and they are, by the same, responsible for many of our troops deaths and injuries...
Wouldn`t it be great to see the same energy and passion the people showed during the immigration fight used now to get this War won?
Patterson asks in the book, “What country sends its men and women to war through national decree knowing some will give their all in sacrifice —- yet withers in resolve at the first signs of difficulty and abandons the will to fight? . . .
“What country’s duly elected politicians, often from both sides of the aisle, shamelessly exploit a conflict they voted to authorize and, in doing so, barter the sacrifice of American soldiers for political capital?”
With more votes on Iraq funding coming, it will soon be clear whether those politicians, and others whom Patterson calls “the enemy within,” will further isolate the military —- and in the process lose a war.”
Enough said!
I have no problem referring to the liberal media elitists and the (lack of) leadership in our government as traitors for all their blustering about our losing this war and other far worse comments over the last five years. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quack likes a duck, then . . . these liberals are traitors.

Just a little bit over half of our military's political masters are Democrats, so trained military psychological operators will not be countering enemy propaganda enthusiastically disseminated by our own major news outlets. What the electorate thinks and feels about the war in Iraq depends largely on the information they absorb from the publicly available open source intelligence provided by that same media.
Irregular infowarriors and PSYOP Auxiliaries, exercising their unencumbered freedom of speech, not subject to the Smith-Mundt Act and out of reach of vengeful Senators, may well be the only defense of the battle space between the ears of the American voter that is left to us.

Bringing the wrath down on their miserable selves!
Thanks for the quote, FRiend. I have his first book, and will head on over to amazon to look for this one. What he is saying is something I hope will be repeated often in reviews and on interviews.
That our troops are doing as well as they are is a tribute to their skill. It is entirely an uphill battle, fought against a ruthless enemy with no scruples, no honor, and not a scrap of humanity amongst the lot of them. One half of the enemy is in Iraq and its neighbors Iran and Syria, and the other is in the halls of congress, the newsrooms, and the so-called entertainment industry.
I wonder how many Arizonians will read Buzz’s latest book and see why the snake has to be voted out office. Of course I know the answer to that. Blurtha still operates with impunity in western PA.
You Are so RIGHT!
Wouldn't it be great if just HALF the people using half the energy spent on the immigration issue got het up and going on this!!!
It would turn the media around - they don't like to be left out.
And wouldn't it be great - sigh - to see half the FREEPERS be as concerned about this. Extremely sad - if Freepers can't see this is AT LEAST as crucial to our future, what hope is there?
Where are to good old rank and file FREEPERS?????
A year ago, they would have been here and all over this - and contacting RUSH, Hannity, FOX, etc etc.
Why the great disconnect? What do we have now 0 after 2 days - 18 whole posts on this,.
It's more than sad -
