Bob Bekel was just on FOX maintaining that the idea that if we don't fight the terrorists in Iraq we will have to fight them here, is a nutty idea. I wish I had a recording of that statement so I could play it back to him the next time the terrorists hit us (and they will).

More journalists have died in Iraq than did in Vietnam.

When will the media be pulling out of Iraq?

Beckel is a typical Leftist dolt. Throughout the 1990's, when Beckel's boy Clinton was in office, the jihadists hit us often. The first WTC bombing, the Khobar Towers, the embassy bombings, the USS Cole, the Egyptian airliner crash, and multiple other smaller hits. Isn't it interesting how, since GWB took us to war in Afghanistan and Iraq, we have not been hit anywhere else other than in the war zones?

You're right. The odds are we'll be hit again at some point, but that "dumb Cowboy" from Texas must be doing something right.

Not to mention all the crazed jihadis in the thousands we're offing that would otherwise be free to wreak havoc HERE. I think of all the available talent we've put in the ground in Iraq alone, and if for no other reason than decreasing the jihad pool this has been a resounding success, IMO.

" pusillanimous Democrats. "

When it comes to Democrats- I believe that it's spelled pussyillanimous.

More fictional scriptwriting from the juvenile media.

If the Dems were smart they would have been supporting this war wholeheartedly, slamming the Islamic cults and Saddam's goons at every turn, supporting US efforts at interrogations and intell efforts, using very supportive language for our soldiers who have been accused of wrongdoing, and taking any complaints to the Pres in private.

They could actually win elections that way.

But they cannot help themselves, their anti-American ideology shines thru very clearly.

I totally agree with you about this. The Islamofreaks may have lots of young followers, but no "army" can take the kinds of casualties the jihad pool (great phrase, BTW) has been taking and still remain effective over the long haul.

In Iraq it's mostly Sunni vs. Shia hatred driving the violence. Far as I'm concerned, as long as they're killing each other, I'm not gonna complain.

Given the recent votes in the Senate the polls must be unreliable. There is no way that many dems voted with republicans if the people opposed the war.

I'm sure that's true..that is their private polls not the "hamburger helper" polls the media engages so they can pawn off opinion as "news".

The Dims have lost two straight elections on national security issues. And they can't wait to do it again.
