It sounds like a lot of people are crumbling under the negative media blitz.

Who else wants to raise the white flag?

My thinking exactly. I think the biggest problem with the American people is that they really don't pay attention to what's going on in the world, except for whatever affects them personally at that moment. So, they are easy prey for the media.

This basher has long long been a trasher of our President. No matter the topic, he was against anything the President tried to do.

"Iraq is a Disaster"

So is Detroit Michigan. Why in the hell haven't we cut and run from Detroit yet?

The citing of a Newsweek poll to support a central thesis is always the sign of a quality opinion piece. Do I really need a sarcasm tag?

The Battle of the Bulge was rough too. But the Army recovered,crossed the Rhine and won the war. Of course in those days Tim Russert and Pinch Sulzberger weren't born. Their fathers were winning the freedom to allow their sons to be pampered, psuedo-intellectual, anti-Americans.

When was he in Iraq last?

I figure you need to actually see something before you can write objectively about it.

Maybe I'm being to logical.

"...Why have so many Americans, only now, come to realize that this war has gone bad...?"

Gee, I wonder why that is?

It couldn't be the incessant pounding of bad news from the MSM who have a clear political agenda, as well as a greedy need to keep ratings up by leading with what bleeds, could it?

I've missed LeBoutillier's wretched screeds. He always comes out around election time to predict doom.

My french is rusty, but I think LeBoutillier is a french word for loser.

Another gutless traitor who has no idea what is happening. What's even worse, he's supposed to be one of us.

It appears to me if all these gloom and doomers get their way then no war, no matter what the cause,is worth it ....


Assume we walk away... what happens the next time we are attacked by fanatics? nothing?



When is a war worth the cost?

John LeBoutillier is just another old world conservative that does not realize the world has changed dramatically since the 60's. Most of the old world conservatives have not adapted to the times and are of little use to the modern republican party. I for one, usually dismiss what most of them say.

Remember waaaaaaay back in 2001, LeBoutlier's "sources" were pushing the Gary Condit, Kinky, Leather-Wearing, Gay Sex Murder Cult theory as the cause of Chandra Levy's disappearance??

THEN 911 happened....

Hey John, go pound Gary.....and quitcher bitchen...humphead!

This is a cave-in by the American people because they've bought the line that 2800+ killed is somehow an enormous number.

By this time after Pearl Harbor we'd had HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS killed. In a matter of hours in some battles we'd had more than 2800 killed.

But the media can take one single death (e.g., Cindy Sheehan's son) and blow it up larger than life and larger than all reason.

And the ignorant buy that line.

Our leaders are afraid to stand up with a set of cajones and simply speak the truth: Muslims are murderers, we're killing the bastards, they're killing relatively few of us, the media/liberal axis are traitors, and America's democrats are weak-willed and cowardly.

Did I leave anything out?

I'll vote for the guy who stands up and says the above.

I read LeBoutilier at Newsmax all the time because its lightweight reading fodder. He makes no bones about his dislike for GWB and the entire administration, about the only thing he dislikes more would be Shrillary.

This guy is a one term congressman who didnt do piddly squat on the hill and then claims re-districting cost him his seat.

LeBoutillier is French for pussy.

It sounds like a lot of people are crumbling under the negative media blitz.

The sheeple fell for it late during Viet Nam and they are falling for it again.

MNFI's website says much different, though. I think I'll believe them.

This guy is always negative, and hates President Bush. Nothing new here.
