I'm going to make a bold prediction here and say that this whole Iraq thing is not going to end well. When you have shrill people like Murtha, John Kerry and the MSM constantly seizing every opportunity to defame and destroy our military and our President, nothing good can come of it.
When I returned to the States from SE Asia through California in January, 1966, I was shocked at the level of protest that greeted me and others. And, that was only 1966. What followed as we moved into the early seventies was even more shocking.
I have always tried never to be a propher of doom, but when I say that this is not going to end well, I truly believe it. I wish, with all my heart that it would, but I know that, just as was the case during the Vietnam era, these people are not going to relent and they really don't give a damn about how it affects our national honor.
I can't imagine that it will destroy the nation. But, I can imagine that it will so damage our international reputation that it will begin a slide into "insignificance" for this great nation. I hope to Hell that I'm wrong and would appreciate it if any of you could point out to me just how wrong I am.
It is worse than that because those people DO give a damn. They look for the failure of America and its conquest as a cleansing of the planet.
