A very excellent post. You point out some of the same points made in the book Imperial Grunts by Robert Kaplan. Are you he? The only point I disagree with you on is if Al Gore became President, we would be doing the same thing. I somehow doubt that.

But don't worry: The Iraq Surrender Group feels sure they won't come here if we pull out of Iraq.

This is why lately, the MSM is showing video of immams and "civilians" saying they "will fight until the United States leaves muslim land." As if America caused this war and that if we leave everything will be okay. I've seen this several times recently when I could stomach the ABC networks. It is a ploy most likely hatched by the tali-ban, the MSM and the democrats.

Great article ANN.

Ping - a little late!

The ISG report was about what you'd expect if the ladies from "The View" were asked to come up with a victory plan for Iraq.

That's about the best description of the report yet!

Rock On Ann!!!!

It's true that no one anticipated that al-Qaida sympathizers would stream into Iraq to fight the Great Satan after Saddam fled to a spider hole, but that's because everyone expected al-Qaida to be fighting us here.

Have to disagree with Ann here. I think that is exactly what was expected and one of the reasons for invading. Bring the enemy to our forces where we are prepared and more than capable of engaging them, rather than shopping malls and commercial airliners.

--BCE is Before Christian Era.
CE is Christian Era.
Not to many people. A quick Dogpile search finds:
Discussion of the abbreviations BCE (before common era) and CE (common era); what they mean and why they exist. www.radix.net/~dglenn/defs/ce.html --

Who cares? "Christian Era" works for me.

The leftists' tactic is to keep using whatever euphemism they wish to push (e.g. "social justice", "progressive", "redeployment"), until it becomes ingrained in common usage. I suggest we start doing the same.

"The ISG report was about what you'd expect if the ladies from "The View" were asked to come up with a victory plan for Iraq."

I just left Ann's site after reading her column there and I am still laughing so hard at that line (one of Ann's best).

I rushed right here to FR to see if anyone else shared my admiration and, of course, I wasn't disappointed.

Very good column by Coulter.

Ouch!

Offend a Muslim, it's the least you can do!

Eric, be careful. The 65% number came for our MSM. The devil is in the details. How did they come up with 65%? How did they ask their question to get a 65% vote?

My guess is that if you ask the general population an unbiased question on this issue, you would find out a lot more people understand how serious the WAT really is for our country.

I agree with your comment on our politicians. In my opinion, they have no spine and could care less about the terrorist beyond the next election, photo op or interview on TV. This is really a good reason to think about a third party.
