I hadn't had the misfortune of running across this guy until today. It's amazing that different people can see the same events and draw such completely different conclusions.

I guess he'd be happier if schoolgirls were being raped, Kurds gassed, and the torture rooms humming right along... As to the WMDs, everyone including the UN knows they were there at one point. What happened to them?

What is this Mitchell guy talking about? The “pundits” who were wrong never seem to shut up. Telling us about all the failures, “they’ll be house to house fighting to take Baghdad”, “they’ll never draw up a Constitution”, “they’ll never have an election”, “a civil war has broken out”, “the surge will fail”.
How must it feel to be wrong all the time?

The real tragedy of fools like the author of this sh!t-in-pixels is that not until the terrorist supporting nation somewhere (like Iraq under Saddam Insane) succeeds in setting off five or six Nagasaki level atomic surprises in five or six major US cities will these fools shut the hell up. And by then, if the bastards don't shut up and I'm still alive, I'm goin’ huntin’. And it will be a rather competitive rush!

With more than 60 percent of their fellow Americans now calling the war a "mistake" and agitating for troop withdrawals...

I really don't consider these people "fellow Americans." Just living in this country does not make you an American in the traditional sense of the word. As for this 60%, they'll be waving the flag again after the NEXT 9-11.

Those who were wrong are the ones still having to bray like the jackasses they still are, in order to change the correct policies. Those who were correct aren’t going anywhere and will make plenty of noise when it’s appropriate.

Greg Mitchell:

This FReeper, B.O., rejoyced when the war started....and, furthermore, I want it to continue until all the wild muslims are either tamed or dead. If this means taking out Iran, Syria, et al....and...yes....even Saudi Arabia.

I hate living under the continual threat of this muslim, or that muslim sending a wild-eyed lunatic to blow us up as we have dinner, or while watching a ball game....or worse, the whack-job moockmood finally getting a nuke and smuggling it into Dallas.

Screw you Greg....and the horse you rode up on.

I guess he'd be happier if schoolgirls were being raped, Kurds gassed, and the torture rooms humming right along...

Yes, he probably was happier then, because it wasn't in the news. Iraq didn't have a free media. That's what most of them are really upset about: not the war itself, they haven't felt any effects from it. It's the headlines. They turn on the news and it's just so UPSETTING. They don't want UPSETTING news. The great thing about communist countries is they don't have a free press, and we don't see the imprisoned artists of Cuba, the starving citizens of North Korea, the forced labor of China, the steaming slums of Venezuela... and so it isn't so UPSETTING.

And this guy is probably an Obamite. Because Obama is SOOTHING. Not UPSETTING.

With more than 60 percent of their fellow Americans now calling the war a "mistake" and agitating for troop withdrawals--

According to Special Report tonight, the percentage of Americans who want a withdrawal on a timetable unrelated to the security of Iraq is 18 percent. An inconvenient fact.

I supported thw war and I’m glad I did.

[Billthedrill]

Well, understand that E&P is one of the most strident and least informed periodicals on this topic and you'll see that Mitchell is simply brazening it out for them. I would throw the question back at him - at what point will the stubborn, arrogant, and increasingly out-of-touch war critics admit that they were wrong about the thing? That Iraq is a nation with a constitution and an elected government and that all the efforts they made to keep this from happening were in vain?

Not likely. Being a liberal is never having to admit you were wrong. Forget this clown. He isn't worth the effort.

LOL, I clicked on the thread and saw the name “Greg Mitchell”.
See ya on another thread!
