So true. The Rats lost because the majority of Americans do not yet view themselves as poor victims of forces they do not understand or cannot cope with. The majority of Americans are strong, responsible people of sound character who can run a business, serve with honor, relate to God and still know the difference between right and wrong, unlike those who "live easily with contradictions" as the Rats like describe themselves. Sophisticates are dangerous!
We go to get the job done in Iraq before the rats can undermine the effort.
Emotion-based anti-war Dumbocraps and other assorted moonbats are traitors who want to see America and Iraq fail. To them, a successful coversion under the Bush administration's leadership of Iraq to a functional republic is the ultimate failure.
There are legitimate beefs against the war, and those Democrats who offer true alternatives and true logic aren't these traitors to which I'm referring. Rather, I'm referring to the "Bush lied" crowd and all their spin about how the war is such a failure, our troops are the Huns, etc. -- they are traitors, because they want to see America fail above and beyond all else. That group includes Dean, Pelosi, Swimmer Kennedy, et al.
Those who cheer our enemies and blatantly support the defeat of America, all for personal political gain, don't deserve to be citizens of this country, let alone "leaders" in it.
PS McCain, who is all for tying the hands of the troops the same way our government tied his in Viet Nam (can you say "irony" anyone"), is another problem entirely. It's beyond doubt that he wants America to win, he's just too blinded (and understandably so) by his own experiences to see that sometimes in war, even the good guys have to do what in any other context would be bad things.

All patriotic Americans should express their righteous anger at the Democrats on Capitol Hill and their leftist anti-war allies for their concerted efforts to undermine the morale of our brave troops fighting and dying in Afghanistan and Iraq.
I remember "Uncle Ho" [Walter] Cronkite on the CBS evening news telling us after Tet 1968 that the Vietnam was was un-willable. I served in Vietnam from March, 1969 until March, 1970, and I can truthfully tell you that the area around Saigon and south to the Mekong Delta was pretty well pacified during that time which enabled President Nixon to withdraw whole U. S. Army divisions and turn over their combat mission to the Vietnamese Army.
During that time I remember Sen. Ted Kennedy's rants in 1969 about how the Vietnam war was unwinnable. He hasn't changed a bit - it's always about defeating America on the battlefield.
When the troops listen to all of this defeatist retoric from their elected officials on Capitol Hill, morale starts to sink.
If Sen. John Kerry starts his mantra of "Don't be the last GI to die for a mistake in Iraq" like he did in Vietnam, he should be impeached and prosecuted for treason.
Make no doubt about it: only the dead have seen the end of war. The present war against Islamic fascism is one that we must win at all costs, otherwise, Western civilization will be destroyed.
For a long time now, I've found it interesting and ironic that the Dems first compared Iraq to Vietnam, calling it a quagmire, etc., before there were any similarities at all. Then, maybe realizing there were none, they set about to create one; that is, the undercutting of public opinion by anti-war partisans, despite success on the battle front.
First post, ya'll be easy on me. Seems to me Libs regard Vietnam as a great victory rather than a defeat. Our loss validated everything they stood for then and now. They smell blood in the water again.
The Democrats, as currently composed, equal Defeat.
