I agree with Powderman.
But, to the question: the Demo-gogues will win in 2008, and we'll run from Iraq so fast it will make your head spin. Just watch.
As I said in another thread: If you're going to have a war, WIN IT. "They" don't play by rules. "They" fly planes into buildings, cut peoples heads off, don't take prisoners, and routinely torture innocents or combatants. All this bull---- about playing fair, the Geneva Convention blah blah blah it is all TOTAL GARBAGE. Afghanistan, Iraq, all of it........ENOUGH. Complaints over treatment at Gitmo? OK. QUIT TAKING PRISONERS. They dont' take prisoners. Why should we? They aren't gonna dime out Bin Laden, so WHY take them prisoner? Kill them like we killed all the Japanese on Iwo, Tarawa, Saipan, Guam, you name it..........they don't play by rules, then we should just get it done. Kill the badguys, THEN LEAVE. Problem is, we have two fronts.......and don't have the will power nor the manpower to finish either of them off......
Read the papers?! We are cutting half our B-52s and cutting the Air Force back to a size that is next to useless. There are no plans for more "boots", and we keep sandbagging the National Guard. We cannot fight a two ocean war. Korea and Iran are begging for a fight, and we have nothing to fight them with except nukes.
For Christ's sake, this whole thing stinks. We back Saddam against Iran then guess what? WE ARM THE IRANIANS, Saddam now hates us, and Ollie North is a hero. Russia attacks Afghanistan to clamp down on the Islam radicals, WE BACK THE RADICALS. 300 Russian school kids are murdered by Czechen rebels, but Clinton and Bush both hammered the Russians over using their military against the Czechen........who are nothing more than Islamic garbage. Now WE are fighting those same Czechens in Iraq!!!! Clinton shoots 40 million worth of cruise missiles to kill Bin Laden and Madeleine Imnotsobright warns Pakistan who saves Bin Laden. Bin Laden is hiding in Pakistan and EVERYONE KNOWS IT. Yet just this week we sold Pakistan 18 F16 FIGHTERS........go to
www.military.com and read it for yourself. Every administration going as far back as I can remember defies logic.
In my perfect world (and I'm dreaming), alcohol fuel, biodiesel, a bunch of broke Arabs sitting on oil they can't peddle. Al Qaeda and Heroin dealers who fly planes into our buildings........any country that sponsored it or harbors the bad guys gets taken over and this time what ain't glowing IS NOT GIVEN BACK. Like Patton said, "I don't like paying for the same real estate twice."
Sorry for the rant. I want a third choice next election and I know I won't get it.
