I assume since you posted that link you agree with Mike Reagan?
I disagree strongly with his assumption that the Iraq War is "sorry", that is, a failure. It is a huge success for us and the majority of the Iraqi people in just getting rid of Saddam Hussein, his demonic sons, and his brutal regime.
This war has not even begun to see an end. I said back then it would take at least ten years to finally bring the fundementalist crazies under control, and that will mean we have to kill the most rabid. And we are. Last month, it was reported (but never said by the DBM) that over 5900 terrorists were killed in Iraq. And BTW, that is not an abnormally high figure. The military does not want to do a body count like in Vietnam, due to the propaganda factor the body count led to then, but they do keep track of enemy loses.
Because we are killing a lot of Islamofascists currently (even though many FReepers want "Total War"--they haven't been keeping up that we've been very agressive there, due to the DBM suppressing that fact), staying the course makes the most sense. We're keeping the Islamofascists focused on fighting us there, instead of here, and where attriting them hugely.
We need to support our military and President for KEEPING UP THE GOOD WORK!!!
Good lord - you are right on the money.
Pessimism is viral in nature - anyone who does not take care of themselves is easily infected - especially the weak.
And we are. Last month, it was reported (but never said by the DBM) that over 5900 terrorists were killed in Iraq.

I heard President Bush say this, and never heard it again, as you wrote. Obviously, the press cannot report the President's own words because that would be "right-wing" bias.
#101, I agree completely. Mike Reagan can be dense at times, and he certainly is more like his Adopted Dad, than Reagan's flesh and blood Son, but not everything he says should be taken as gospel. By the way, Kennedy was in an Oldsmobile when he ran off the Bridge and left Mary Jo to die. I know picky, picky....
