when we pull out of Iraq it will turn into pre-war Afghanistan , then terrorists can plot and plan to kill us with Iranian Nukes... enjoy.
I have thought it would take a major disaster to bring the reality of this war and this enemy to enough Americans that we can actually concentrate on survival. Both campaigns, for most Americans have involved only payback and Nation-Building. Few understand the nature of the assault on America. I am not sure W even understands it. He has become mired in hearts-and-minds when the war is Existential for the West. The Center of the resurgent Mohammedan Empire, that is Iran this time around, must be utterly destroyed before the West is secure from that quarter. The siege of this century's Vienna will involve nukes and the Democrats and others, like ChessMan perhaps, will be ready to impose Sharia on Americans rather than face the fact that the war has come to our own shores. Even if we ultimately Save Vienna, Europe is gone. Even if we prevail against Iran, Europe will sink into Moslem Malaise and will look more and more like Syria.
