Clearly, many in the media and in the leftist enclaves of American politics were deeply disappointed that we didn't lose thousands during the actual war itself. They're still licking their chops for massive US casualties. They speak in deep tones of concern, but their glee at the prospect of "quagmire" makes them positively orgasmic. They love the prospect of American defeat so much that they even exaggerate the bad news coming out of Iraq.
After 9/11 the RATS waited to see what Bush would do. He, and pretty much all of us, knew that the hot spot was Afghanistan and we should start there. The RATS went into their predictable refrain:
What are we doing in Afghanistan?
It's a quagmire.
It's just like Viet Nam.
Why don't we go after Saddam Hussein, he is clearly more dangerous than Osama Bin Laden.
When Afghanistan was sufficiently stabilized Bush then turned his attention to Iraq.
What are we doing in Iraq?
It's a quafmire.
It's just like Viet Nam.
Why don't we go after North Korea, they are clearly more dangerous than Saddan Hussein.
