So you're cool with the Iranian- and Syrian-backed thugs taking over in Iraq? Get real.

How can they 'take over' if we are still there in our bases? Get rartional.
The American Right does not consist of a handful of nervous Nelly halfvast pacifists. Neville Chamberlain was NOT one of us. This morning we have begun kicking Islamofascist patoot in Fallujah as we should have in March, 2004.
If we had lost this election it would have been over the loss of manufacturing jobs via "free trade" schemes and favoritism for executive suite obsessions with the old bottom line. That is why the Demonrats generally voted for the war and woe their tongues and keyboards out whining about money issues.
If we listen to the paleo-ostrich set, America is finished as a nation. Pacifism and national cowardice solve nothing for us and everything for our enemies.
It is the evil of the left that imagines man as merely an economic being. They have stolen friom the comfortable to provide bribes for all interest groups. The left expresses itself as flabbergasted when people in the heartland "vote against their interests." The left imagines that, unless you are a zillionaire Manhattanite and left social force you have no business worrying about anything but wages, welfare, health care, public schools, etc.
They are amazed that Jews of modest means care about Israel, that military veterans are proud of their service to civilization, that religious folk abhor baby slaughter and lavender "marriage," that most Americans find leftist forms of movies and popular entertainment vile. We are supposed to have economic tunnel vision so that we may be more efficiently bought by leftist political bribes.
Now, it is proposed that conservatives act as "economic man" and be saitisfied with smaller government and lower taxes. We are still religious folk. Many are veterans. Many are committed to israel as an American ally. We know that there is a right and there is a wrong. We also understand that "I am not my brother's keeper" is no more respectable or moral today than when uttered dishonestly by Cain.
If all that matters in politics is money, count me out.
The aging conservatives cited in the article are losing their nerve. Fortunately, many things are far more important than mere money.
Quick work in Iraq --
kill the bad guys, then get out --
sets a precedent
for Syria and
Iran -- get too thuggish and
they get "quick work," too!
Some ostriches missed the news of the huge trade deal between the ChiComs and Iran. Chinese will be more than happy to step in and dominate the Middle East if we cut and run. Russia steps in too.
Iran sells China discounted oil and China sells Iran the protection of it's nuclear umbrella and other high tech military goodies. Nuke technology, missile technology and more.
