Hillbilly White Trash: Dims find no support for surrender

The Democrats confused the American public’s unhappiness with the way the war was being fought with a desire for surrender and retreat. To be fair this was made easier by the high decibel shrieking from their lunatic fringe.

Over the months since the election they have forced to deal with the hard cold reality of the fact that the American people actually want to win.

It will be fun to watch the heads exploding on the left as the truth sinks in.

Winning would be nice, but can you define what “win” means? Hasn’t Gen. Patreus already stated that there’s no military solution to the mess in Iraq?

It would be nice to put the genie back in the bottle and turn the clock back and do what Gen. Shinseki suggested and use sufficient forces to ensure that there wouldn’t be Al Qaeda infiltration, sectarian violence and general lawlessness. But our beloved decider-in-chief overruled the Army Chief of Staff and tried to do it on the cheap. The violence unleased by that high level stupidty is what got us where we are today.

Of course the public is unhappy. The Bush admin. failed miserably in Iraq. Not the military, the Bush admin. The military continues to rip a new one into any forces that attempt to stand and fight. It’s what they do best. But those opportunities are few and far between. It’s counter-insurrgency occupation at this point, never a strength for large conventional forces. I doubt the American public has the stomach to do what’s needed in terms of time, spilled blood and spent treasure. The Bush admin. misunderstood the psyche of the American public, they didn’t stay fearful enough, were never asked to make any real sacrafice and aren’t sufficiently blood thristy.

Plus this debacle in Iraq hasn’t been in our national intersts. We’re pinned down and unable to present a credible threat to forestall larger national security threats in Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and North Korea.

You may express glee at the inablity of democrats to muster a veto proof majority at this moment, but infantile political posturing isn’t going to make us safer, secure the homeland or prevent larger threats looming on the horizon. And this will come up in congress again. The closer we get to election day the less support his lame duckness will muster in congress.
