I think most folks can see we're in a generalized global war on terror, of which Iraq is an important part. I also think a healthy majority of Americans would agree that these Islamists are a pain in the butt and are none too unhappy to see the US Government doing something useful by killing them.
The leftist press can spin it any way they want, but when folks see Americans being beheaded and their bodies mutilated by celebrating mobs they tend to want some payback. Kerry doesn't have any payback in him. Bush most certainly does.
I have to think so too. In my day-to-day life, that's certainly the way it is. The only folks who believe this clap-trap are the folks I know to be die-hard Ds. And they believe it without question, even when contradicting themselves from one sentence to the next.
Just last night, a relative of mine was over -- a die-hard D of many years. He told me in one breath that this war wasn't about WMD, that was a lie, it's really a war of imperialism. Then in the next breath he tells me even George Bush is sick of this war, and he'd pull out in a second if he knew how.
I told him I was confused, are we trying to colonize Iraq or cut and run, in his mind?
He said that was exactly his point -- the administration's policy is confused!!!
It's just non-sensical.
And all the non-Ds, 75% at least, are of the opinion it was a just war and it's being fought well. All the independents, too, are against the Ds on this.
I think this will be a very, very interesting year.
