"Iraq is now what it was not when the war began – a magnet for terrorism"

This is kind of interesting too.

No one talks about it but immediately after our 'thunder run'/'shock and awe' performance in Iraq, the Liberals, not knowing whether to s&^t or wind their watches, decided they should rein in the US and coalition activities making troops back off the tactically requisite action of consolidating our military/political advantage to that point. The media was all over THAT point like white on rice, to hammer it into our heads that the troops needed orders in triplicate to deal with looting and other civil disorder in the urban areas. SOOOOO... the 'insurgents' took advantage of the lull to organize and recruit, etc.... It MUST be admitted that the Liberals interference (along with the collusion of the MSN) precipitated a great deal of the current malaise in the urban areas in Iraq!!! Coalition and US hesitation and 'deference' to Liberals' and MSM broadcaster's time out request caused us to squander a great deal of the hard won advantage.

You know...this is exactly what they did during the first Gulf War, when we had Saddams Republican Guard on the run. The media turned the Highway of Death into an Abu Ghraib spectacle as they molded public opinion against us dealing Saddam a fatal blow. And then, these same liberals have the nerve to question why we didn't finish Saddam the first time around.

It is the deference to the liberals that is the worst mistake the political and military has made in this war and it has cost the President a lot of capital. While they dither, the bad guys kill the real innocents. Witness Fallujah. They let the people live under a true reign of terror for four months longer than they should have to try every diplomatic option to avoid the use of force in which some civilians would die. When will we remember that a lightning shock attack (Blitzkreig) might result in some casualties at the moment but will save thousands over time and get the damn war over.

That's what makes me mad. Other than that, i think they're doing ok, I think we'll prevail, barring a drastic change in goobernment, but I believe it's taking much longer than it needs to ultimately because of the treacherous rats, but really because the military accommodates them.
