We'll win again but only after the enemy wipes out a couple hundred thousand of us first.

Will America ever win another war? Only if we ignore the MSM, libs, and the 'international community', and get the judiciary to stay out of the conduct of the war!
As Mark Levin says
KILL THE ENEMY!!!!

Sure, we just need to go in, kick butt, remove the leadership, then get out. Let nature take it's course. If we don't like the outcome, we quickly go back in and do it again.
We showed in Iraq that we can kick a heavily armed country's rear in short order. I think we could do Syria in less than a week. Iran might take a month. We could do it with very few casualties.

"
We are not afraid of any of your terrorist co-conspirators, Mr. Reid ...
"Youre a big fellow. But youre not that big. Youre no warrior. I know warriors....
You are a terrorist, a species of criminal guilty of multiple attempted murders."
To call you a soldier gives you far too much stature.
You are a terrorist, and we do not negotiate with terrorists.
We hunt them down one by one and bring them to justice. ...
"See that flag, Mr. Reid?
That is the flag of the United States of America
That flag will fly there long after this is long forgotten (*)."
[Federal Chief Judge William Young, First Circuit to Terrorist Shoebomber Reid]
(*) Unless, "thanks" to the MSM and Democrats, America and the American people LOSE the will to win.

We will not win any other wars because Western civilization has grown fat and developed ADD, and a desire to own stuff, retire, and think only of their immediate family's welfare, and cannot stomach the sacrifices it takes to fight wars they way they ought to be fought.
To: presidio9
LOL, no way, we can't even defeat the NYT bathhouse boys, and their ilk, the MSM/DNC.
As long as patriots cannibalize their own, instead of the true enemy who has run this country for 40 years, we are a mere whiners.

Unfortunately, western civilization seems unwilling to acknowledge the growing fifth column in its midst In fact, we're welcoming that fifth column with the full red-carpet treatment.

With the 5th column of today's press, not likely.
People have no concept of what war is, what it is suppposed to be. As Rush says, "The purpose of war is to kill people and break things."
The consensus today seems to be it should be run like a sports event. I specifially remember articles that criticized us for attacking towns because it "wasn't fair".

The longer we are safe and at peace, the more power the Left grabs. When we are under attack, the Left hides under its bed and is silent.

We will never win another war if we constantly let our communist left define the debate.
Win #1:We defeated the Taliban. Yes that does not mean they cannot resurface. Remember Germany.
Win #2: We defeated the Iraq military and captured and convicted a dictator.
Now a 3rd conflict has begun instigated and funded by other pig-O-phobe rag head countries.
The left in their mode of all lies all the time will never admit we won anything. You can see that their strategy worked in the last elections and that the pig-O-phobes saw our weakness and escalated the violence now that the traitor party has been elected.
Because the good of the country is not the traitor's party primary interest, they will continue to give aid and comfort to the enemy until the enemy is so strong and entrenched as to make victory impossible.

It seems that the country doesn't have the stomach for this one. Sad to say.
Does unity count in a war effort? It can't hurt.
I think I heard someone say something like this on Laura Ingraham's show yesterday - I think it was a bull colonel in Iraq: "You're playing a tough game and then you look to the bleachers and discover that your fans are leaving. That's going to have a negative effect on morale." Poor paraphrasing, but that, I think, was the gist of the man's comment.
