remember Carter chatting it up with the Soviets, asking for their help to defeat Reagan? They've been doing it again and again and again, and well before 9-11.
Selling out Vietnam in '75.
Carter and the Canal giveaway.
Carter and the betrayal of the Shah, unleashing these islamofascist demonspawn.
The left's demonization of Reagan as he parked Pershing II's across from the Soviet SS20's in Europe.
Iran-Contra, which was a successful repeat of their "forsake our Vietnam ally" - hamstringing our support to anti-communist rebels (Kerry went and stopped by for a photo-op with Daniel Ortega, just like the photo-op he had in Hanoi over at that NVA heroes museum... some things and some traitors never change...).
Through the 90's, Clinton's inability to fight terror - the 1993 WTC in which Iraq & Saddam WERE involved! - the embassies, the COLE.
And now, post 9-11, the continued leaks that hurt our war effort, the continued lack-of-support that helps the enemy's morale, thus endangering more of my warrior brethren's lives.
The list is endless.
Jefferson once said, "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." - it is plainly obvious to any who will see where our patriots are today; they are the firemen & policemen who valiantly responded on that tuesday morning over 4 years ago... they are our military currently fighting and winning the war on the battlefield. From where I stand, at this moment in time only half of Jefferson's quote is right.
It seems unjust to me. I don't have patience for the ROE Effect to take it's toll on these last, virulent dregs of the 60's hippies as they grasp for power and their failed dream of orwellian utopia.
When will this vermin taste in blood the bitter fruit they sow, and for which good American men and women - their betters by far - now pay in life and limb to counter?
