Way to snatch Defeat from the jaws of Victory "Conservatives". You spent all your time the last two years eating your own instead of fighting the Dems. Maybe if the Conservative media did not spend all it's time shooting it own in the back OUR MESSAGE would get out instead of being drowned out by the Democrat Noise Machine.
This campaign was doomed from the start of the hearts-and-minds approach. The American people will not allow for a long war for such a perceived irrelevant goal. Bush took America's eye off the real war, the war of Islamic Conquest and fixed the peoples' focus on a long drawn out pacification campaign. It did not work in Viet Nam and it did not work in Iraq. Resurgent Islam is the enemy here and Bush's failure of perception in Iraq will lead to a much bloodier and economically damaging war with Iran or to Sharia in New York.
So I guess you don't like Rush anymore?
I was in agreement with you up until yesterday. We spent to much time on this war we have failed. The sooner we recognize that the better.
Johnnie, isn't it about time for you to pull a Jeffords and switch parties? The democrats are sure to write the policy goals of the OBL that you advocate into law by the end of 2007, and Bush will undoubtedly sign off on it...
...by 2008, we will have a demographic situation where Republicans - and perhaps conservatives - are relegated to permanent minority status.
Telling people that "the war was already won" when dozens of U.S. soldiers are getting killed every month and hundreds more are getting wounded is an abysmal approach -- and is going to destroy the GOP.
The Democrat Noise Machine campaign against the war may explain why a lot of independents turned away from the GOP, but in the final analysis I'm betting that military families also turned away from the GOP in droves -- and these are the people who would be least likely to listen to any of the Sheehan-type moonbat nonsense.
