“Another good article that no one will read.”

Sarge, you got that right. The piece may run as a syndicated column, but too many folks out there have been convinced that GWB “lied” and so anything else is incomprehensible and irrelevant to such individuals.

Given the McClellan boondoggle now playing out, it is inconceivable that VDH’s words will carry any weight in the Iraq debate. However, as he said, history is best written from perspective, and I believe GWB’s decision to go into Iraq will be vindicated and held up as a courageous, bold step toward resolving the islamic problem.

I hope I live another 45-50 years so I can see how history treats GWB & the Iraq war.

I’m sure it will be radically different from the squawking of today’s MSM.

In the absence of a truly calamitous attack, which graphically demonstrates American vulnerability in its physical and economic aspects, the majority of the US electorate will remain oblivious to the Islamofascist threat.

IMHO, the wisdom of a VDH etc. cannot appeal to the masses mired in the process of borrowing and spending themselves to death. It is much easier to swallow the seductive promises of peace and change, regardless of the reality, than to accept the necessity to do the hard and dangerous work that freedom often requires.

9/11 was not enough to convince the idiots who compose the majority of voters that we are facing a dedicated and resourceful enemy who is merely biding its time until WMD can be employed against us.

There is nothing new under the sun.
