And, as if on cue, the local specimen “Terasita” provides the taste that proves the pudding. It’s all there, the characteristic bitter clinging, the antipathy towards those who know more than she. There’s not even the slightest hint of embarrassment (but then there never is). Thank you for providing an example of the exact thing which this article skewers.

It still amazes me to witness the relentless way detractors of America can twist our successes into accusations of our failures. Which counterinsurgency agency thought up the Anbar Awakening? Who has selflessly ceded credit to the Anbar Sunnis, knowing well that America’s fingerprints can’t be too evident on ot all? Who do these anti-Americans imagine set up those Council forums which triggered the Awakening? Whose blood and steel provided the security? Who brought the loot? Who also brought the precision bombs, and suggested taking the loot and turning in al Qaida and Sunni weapons caches would be good for those sheiks health?

The gobsmacking stupidity of it all, the villainous obsession with perverting America’s prowess, of perverting our successes and attempting to turn those successes into proof of our failures, it’s all disgusting. However and whenever did we nurture such treacherous vipers in our midst?
