The stupid American voters have handed immediate encouragement and ultimate victory to Al-Qaida. The job in Iraq will not be completed and the deaths of thousands of American servicemen will be for nought.
Defeat In The War On Terror Is Now Almost Certain

This morning a great many of the talking heads are saying the Republican defeat could actually be a blessing in disguise, if it will motivate the GOP to return to its conservative principles. However, I believe it will turn out to be not just a political debacle, but a strategic defeat of monumental proportions. I doubt if OBL and his lieutenants are sitting around in their cave today telling each other, "Gosh! This Republican defeat might cause the GOP to return to its conservative core. We better be careful. Such a renewed party could regain power in '08 and we'll be in mucho-big trouble!" Do you think that's what is going on in terrorist ratholes around the world? You know they are rejoicing. The loud and clear message is terrorism can be effective beyond their wildest dreams.
Last night the American people had a chance to stand up to the terrorists and give the President's party the nod for at least another two years. Instead, the American people cried "uncle" after the fashion of the Spaniards following the Madrid bombings. Of course, that was not the intent of the electorate, but that is certainly how OBL and Co. will perceive it. We are likely to see an increase in terrorist activity over the next two years in both Iraq and Afghanistan. There is a real possibility this nation will abandon Iraq and possibily even Afghanistan, if we are faced with increasing casualities in either of those places. Knowing how the Democrats abandoned South Vietnam, this is more than just a possibility.
The War on Terror has had a diverse genesis. However, one thing is clear. Failure of American will after the fall of Saigon in 1975 definately comes into play. (The terrorists themselves understand this). The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 would likely not have occurred were it not for America's acute strategic paralysis during a period exaberated by a witless President. Thus, the path to 9-11 really begins with those Marines being lifted off the roof of the U.S. embassy in Saigon. A defeat in Iraq is now made more likely by this election defeat. The American people failed to stand up to terror, and by so doing have invited horrors that will make 9-11 seem tame by comparison. There is just no way you can put a smiley face on this.
If we can't win this thing we may as well build the biggest wall possible around our country because militarily, we'll be finished.
Finished, meaning our citizens and politicians can't be counted on support our brave military.
