aint that the truth- yet sadly, the dems- who are FAR removed from the ground war- have decided that they know what is really going on over there - because after all- the dems have CNN and the AP and Reuters to fill them in on what's 'really happening', and they have decided that they know better than our battle hardened commanders do how to fight htis war- Freakin pretentious morons in the dem party- http://sacredscoop.com

"You can't run a successful war by committee."

It's how we've run every war since WWII, after the War Department became the politically correct department of Defense.

A committee is a life form with six or more legs and no brain.

An armadillo is a racehorse designed by a committee.

"The problem in a democracy is how to give the one-voice authority that the military needs to an army that belongs to the largest committee of all, the people."

Setting aside that the United States is not a democracy, we never had much of a problem winning wars until after WWII when one of the political parties in coordination with the entire American media determined that America should never, ever be permitted victory in any war fought in support of American interests.

It always amazes me that politicians know how to prosecute a war better than the graduates from our war colleges. That reasoning is one reason many military officers resigned their commisions under the Clinton Admin. They didn't trust him.

It is not true that any change will be viewed as a consession. Changes to be more agressive in pursuing our enemies can not be so viewed.

Look out Iran and Syria.

You can if you're an anti-American hating leftist, rooting for the other side to win. They did it before, they'll try to do it again. It's a workable plan for them.

If you have ever watched the movie "Mars attacks", I believe that is the name, you can see how liberals act when they are threatened. This movie is statire but points out exactly how liberals react to threats and violence, and that is with a head in the sand approach. Do youself a favor and rent this movie, it will open your eyes if you can see past the slapstick humor.

When historians get around to chronicling the first half of the 21st century, let's hope they don't write that America lost its war against terror by default.

If we lose, there will be no historians.

America is the only thing standing between civilization and a thousand years of darkness.
