Nowhere To Go

So, Bill Clinton got it wrong as usual, by making a smarmy plea for a truce of civility from his Little Rock library redoubt. The Iraq debate does not need to become less rude or less intense. It needs to become much more bitter and much more polarized. As I never tire of saying, heat is not the antithesis of light but rather the source of it. No, the problem with the Iraq confrontation, as fought "at home," is not its level of anger but its level of argument. After almost three years of combat, the standard of debate ought to have risen and to have become more serious and acute. Instead, it has slipped into a state of puerility.

Until I hear from the Dem's and the MSM... that “the troops will come home when Iraq is ready to stand on its own”, I will consider them traitors.

Even if you were against invading Iraq, Iraq has now become the front-line in the war with Islamo-facsism.

"Even if you were against invading Iraq, Iraq has now become the front-line in the war with Islamo-facsism"

Nope.

Congress has become the front line in the war on Islamo-Fascism.

It's early dude... I'm just getting started!

Clinton/Murtha advocating a pull out again!
There is a report floating around that Clinton was advised by Congressman Murtha to pull our of Somalia after our guys were ambushed....and Bin Laden said that pull out proved that the US could be attacked and wouldn't retaliate.

A globe-spanning war, declared and prosecuted against all Americans, all apostates, all Christians, all secularists, all Jews, all Hindus, and most Shiites, is not to be fought by first ceding Iraq and then seeing what happens "over the horizon.

Maybe we should also re-arm Iraq after we cede the country. We could even work on improving Iraqi contacts with North Korea and Iran.

That would solve the problem.

Atta boy! I detest Bill Clinton and his horrid wife more than my poor powers of English can convey.

As to Congress, I agree with Mark Twain - "It could probably be shown with facts and figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal element excepting Congress."
