Yep .. their ideology will get them killed by the terrorists
And Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia, and Yemen, and we need to secure Iraq.
There's no question you are right.
Do you have any idea of the size of the force required to "take out" this territory?
Do you know of any elected official, or any electable challenger, who is an advocate for this policy?
Neither do I.
"Each man must not think only of himself, but also of his buddy fighting beside him. We don't want yellow cowards in this Army. They should be killed off like rats. If not, they will go home after this war and breed more cowards. The brave men will breed more brave men. Kill off the _____ cowards and we will have a nation of brave men.
One of the bravest men that I ever saw was a fellow on top of a telegraph pole in the midst of a furious fire fight in Tunisia. I stopped and asked what the hell he was doing up there at a time like that.
He answered, "Fixing the wire, Sir".
I asked, "Isn't that a little unhealthy right about now?"
He answered, "Yes Sir, but the G______ wire has to be fixed".
I asked, "Don't those planes strafing the road bother you?"
And he answered, "No, Sir, but you sure as h* do!"
Now, there was a real man. A real soldier. There was a man who devoted all he had to his duty, no matter how seemingly insignificant his duty might appear at the time, no matter how great the odds."

His name is Robert Godwin and he's an incredibly perceptive and interesting critic of the Left. I stumbled upon his blog after seeing a little blurb written in recommendation of him by Wretchard at the Belmont Club. It's must-read stuff if you're into in depth study of the Left as a pathology.
bttt
Unfortunately, they mean to take us with them. Or rather, they imagine they will be spared by the savages as a reward for rejecting their own culture. I think we know how well that plan will work for them.
Gibson doesn't go far enough. If the Democrats win, not only do the insurgents win, but Al Qaeda wins, the Taliban win, Hezbollah wins, Hamas wins, the Iranian terror state wins, Syria wins, Castro wins, Chavez wins, Kim Jong Il wins...have I forgotten anybody who wants to see America vanquished? Because the day after election day, if the Democrats take any share of power, our enemies will rub America's nose in it.
Thanks - I will certainly check that out. ;-)
Gibson is absolutely right. Doesn't anyone remember Bin Ladin's video threatening any state that voted for Bush? They WANT the demonRATs to win.
And yes- if the RATs win, the terrorists win. It doesn't get any simpler than that.
Thank you, John.
What's his email? Time to send something supportive.
I agree
I agree wholeheartily with John Gibson.
The ONE MAIN THING that the Libs DO NOT understand, is that if America pulls back or pulls out of Iraq the Muslims not only win the day but the obvious end-result is attacks INSIDE AMERICA, after all, they'd think that the cowardly Americans pulled out, so "they" (Americans) must not have the WILL to fight, so we Muslims have nothing to fear from the Americans, therefore we will go to America and attack them on their own soil - - -
Then what?? What do the leftist/bleeding heart/cowardly/anti-American/socialist Liberals say next?
("Oh, sorry people, we didn't expect that. It seems they're not very nice people after all.........)??
Whew! Sorry for the rant....I feel better now...
I love John Gibson --- he's one of my favorites.
As soon as a date is set, we have right then effectively left the battlefield and ceded it to the enemy. I would expect extra concentrated efforts to inflict damage on the Americans as they consolidate and package resources for removal. We will ultimately leave tremendous amounts of supplies and machinery for the jihadists.
The democrats are totalitarians at heart and instinctively side with other totalitarians.
