I don't understand a General in the military having such an anti-war attitude. It isn't terribly difficult to understand the problems which democrats and liberals are having with the recent operation in Iraq. A minimal listing of aspects of the conflict guaranteed to cause angst and dismay amongst them would have to include:
- It was successfully conducted by a popular Republican president.
- It freed over 20 million people from a brutal oppression.
- It eliminated a major terrorist threat against us and our allies.
- It put the fear of God into other outlaw regimes, preventing future wars.
- It eliminated the need for our keeping troops in Saudi Arabia.
- It paved the way for a first Arab democracy in the region, thus taking a first major step towards resolving the most major problem in the entire middle east.
- The DNC did not benefit from the operation.
- No narco-terrorists or other criminals benefited from the operation.
- No innocent christians were killed.
Like I say, you can see why the dems are crying.
