Accordint to you he war that you leftists claimed was unwinnable prior to last Tuesday at noon was in fact such a cakewalk that “once we decide to put some muscle into the game, the entire American narrative is nothing more than mythology”

turn on your brain if you have one; you’re arguing, as usual, by unsupported assertion. we haven’t won a thing in Iraq and now the Iraqis are demanding that we get the hell out, ON A TIMETABLE … my comment was nothing more than that this much-vaunted “surge” was a no-brainer in terms of day-to-day violence reduction, and that if the mighty US couldn’t achieve that much, we should hang up our boots

Why haven’t you bellicose assholes demanded of Bush that he assemble a real military .. one that can operate in the inevitable multiple theatres now required by the Bush Doctrine and that WOULD continue to be required if McCain were elected (which he will not be)

You don’t know squat about “lefties” … my opposition to Iraq is not predicated on pacifism, it’s predicated on the principle that you don’t fight stupid wars with no yield … you fight wars you HAVE to fight them and when you do, it’s “surge” from DAY ONE (meaning you actually fight the damn war and hit your objectives) .. if you’re old enough to remember Vietnam or God forbid perhaps you’ve actually read the history of it, you should know that this country should have learned by then — at the latest — that you either fight for keeps or you stay home, shut the hell up, save your defense budget and hope for the best … I’m fed up with pussy-footed and ill-conceived strategies and tactics fabricated by the likes of Bush-Cheney-Wolfowitz … and if you were worthy of the appellation “conservative” or “American” you would be too

Don’t suppose you’ve noticed that while all of you right-wing sycophants have been bashing the shit out of Obama the administration has been busily doing exactly what he called for regarding the situation in Georgia … that’s what happens when you don’t build a military, alienate your allies and fail to hone your diplomatic skills … you’re kind of stuck with asking the UN to “take action” while you stand around scratching your nuts at a podium and “condemning” the Russians … now that’s takin’ it to ‘em, eh?

get smarter, dude … the stakes are getting higher and your crowd ain’t getting the job done
