And that’s exactly what the media democRATS want. Us to lose and Bush to be humiliated. All so the socialist dems can take power.
Great Americans, huh?
You must be a fellow Savage fan. We are going to lose this war unless we start using our airpower and technology. Close the borders of Iraq, cordon off large areas, drop leaflets, 72 hours for unarmed civilians to leave, then massive airstrikes. Our money can be used to rebuild villages instead of this hand-to-hand combat where our marines are at a disadvatage.
The "old fashioned way" is just that (to the new media). Fortunately, wars are only fought to win the "old fashioned" way. We'll wake-up to the 1.5 million insurgents (or is that 2.5, 3.5, 5.5?) after the next major attack here at home, and respond accordingly.
What we haven't done is break the will of our 'enemy' to continue to engage. Much of this could have been accomplished without troops on the ground.
Rather than liberating a people from an occupying force (Nazis, Taliban, Al Queda, etc), we are faced with liberating people from an occupying religion and it's laws (sharia).
The numbers alone are disturbing, add religious zealotry to the mix, and the task becomes futile.
What we need in the Middle East is a Capitalist Castro who can reign over the entire region with a heavy hand. Saddam was too stupid and greedy for the job. This 'Cap Castro' would provide for his people in ways that the original could only dream, and, he'd have the advantage of being able to lock-up dissidents (socialists) on a whim. I mean, why should only dictators and socialists be able to win their constituent's loyalty by utilizing fear as the motivating force?
