Those who are hoping for the worst in Iraq

Most reporters are anti-American scum, IMHO. It amuses me that they always throw a tantrum when anybody accuses them of being unpatriotic, and then they go on to bash the US in the next sentence.

[speedy]

You're being generous in calling them anti-American scum. I wish Rummy would use words like that at one of these press conferences. Sure would be fun watching the reaction. Infuriating as they are, though, the public doesn't seem to be buying into their BS, probably because they've had such a poor track record up to now on their "predictions."

Why would an American wish for America's failure? Some are so time warped into Vietnam and they yearn for the protests,riots and communist led agitation to return?I've read too much about who were the core organizers.The lefty lib reporters show their roots.Guess who was organizing the anti war protests recently?Workers World Party.

I find nothing that says that Joseph Perkins is part of the LA Times and Washington Post Media Companies!

The Copley Press Inc.

So why the excerpt?

[dalereed]

I strongly object to you doing the excerpt!

A few years ago I received an e-mail from Joseph Perkins thanking me for posting his editorials!

The San Diego Union Tribune can go pound sand as far as Perkins Editorials are concerned!

The paper is part of the WP/LA Times settlement.

[dalereed]

I would think that the author of the editorial would have precidence over some rqg that printed it!

[Admin Moderator]

I wish he did ;-)

[dalereed]

I find nothing in the SDUT paper or on their web site that relates it to the LAT or WP.

AM1 <-- Eating crow. Sorry about that.

[dalereed]

Joseph is a fine conservative Republican negro and having his photo logo on his thread lets people know tht fact.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

No crow served!

Ann Coulter has the perfect description for these left wingers who hate America, Traitor as in her new book.

Twice this week I have visited The Moving Wall (a 1/2 size replica of the real Vietnam Wall in DC)....it is here in my town. From far away when you see it, it doesn't look like much, but when you get up close the sheer numbers of names on the wall hits you, and then you read the tributes, the copies of the last letters home and as a human with any shred of compassion (this leaves you liberals out) you can't help but tear up.

While each loss of life in Iraq is tragic, it is no Vietnam, the numbers aren't even close.

Granted, I feel that we should start to replace our troops with international troops and train them, I believe the complete withdraw should be slow, or the country will implode on itself to something worse than it is today.

As Bush said, we need to get the job done. 'Nam went on for many, many years from the time our first man was there until the time our last man exited. This is no where near another 'Nam.

bump to that, MEG33....read my previous post....they are stuck back there, they need to come forward.

Aside from the fact that our "failure" there was due to 1) too many "no bomb zones" (how can you run a war when you can't bomb any important targets) & 2) Lack of sufficient personnel at the on set of the war ......this is no Vietnam!

Here's a good sense of how the troops feel about this from Lt. Smash's site

As Long As It Takes

Rob writes, asking what I think about these recent remarks by President Bush:

Anybody who wants to harm American troops will be found and brought to justice. There are some that feel like if they attack us that we may decide to leave prematurely. They don't understand what they are talking about if that is the case. Let me finish. There are some who feel like the conditions are such that they can attack us there. My answer is, bring them on.

George W. Bush is President of the United States, and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. He is our leader. He sets the tone for every man and woman in uniform. If the President says we are a bunch of bad-asses, then that is the attitude we will adopt. It sure beats the heck out of the alternative.

Meanwhile, President Bush is taking some heat for these remarks, being accused of using “shoot-from-the-hip lines,” with some urging him to bring the troops home “as soon as possible.”

His response: “We're not leaving until we accomplish the task.”

How refreshing.
