MAKING NEW THOMAS SOWELL PING LIST.

Please FReepmail me to be added to it.

Thomas Sowell would be a brilliant addition to the U.S. Supreme Court but, of course, with Chuckie running the committee, it could never happen.

[Red6]

Honest portrayal. He used facts, not cliche.

He's 100% correct, but at this point it seems that all our media does is echo chants like "Bush lied people died", or "No blood for oil".

[jazusamo]

Thomas Sowell would make a great Supreme Court Justice, IMO.

[jazusamo]

He's right in most all his columns but he really nailed this one.

[onyx]

Hiya jazusamo. Go ahead and add me, please.

[jazusamo]

Hiya, onyx. A big welcome to you. :-)

[onyx]

He's one of my favorites and I usually miss his column. Now, I won't. Thanks!!!

Only after Congress cut off financial support for South Vietnam, while the North Vietnamese continued to get support from the Communist bloc, did South Vietnam fall.

Since then, even the Communist conquerors have admitted that they did not win on the battlefield, but in the American media and in the American political arena, surrounded by an atmosphere created by a defeatist media.

NEVER FORGET


The Vietnam War:

Sen. TED KENNEDY pushed a post-WATERGATE Democrat Congress into cutting off all our funding for the Free South Vietnamese to repel a Communist Terrorist invasion from the North.

The Iraq War:

Sen. TED KENNEDY is now pushing a new Democrat Congress into doing the exact same thing to a Free Iraq =

In other words...
...Sen. TED KENNEDY has just known better from the very beginning.

For...
...the Enemy is now Within
...and always has been.

He wouldn't take the job.

Not even with a gun to his head.

American and other coalition troops in Iraq have had their hands tied with "rules of engagement" based on political, rather than military, considerations.

...Instead of confronting these militias at the outset with an ultimatum to disarm or be killed, we let the Iraqi government veto what our military forces could do, leaving Shi'ite militias intact in Baghdad's "Sadr City" neighborhood and elsewhere.

Having pushed the "democracy" vision for Iraq, we could not simply disregard the country's elected government. But democracy arose in western civilization centuries after law and order had been established. We tried to do it in the reverse order in Iraq.

Thanks for your post, ALOHA RONNIE.

If it ever really is another 'Vietnam' then it will because the Democrats made it that way. Magic lines that cant be crossed to go after the enemies properly and then destroying what effectiveness is possible by playing politics and defunding the effort.

[Irish Eyes]

.....Our choice may become whether we are prepared to sacrifice more American lives in order to prop up the Maliki government or whether we are prepared to sacrifice the Maliki government in order to restore law and order in Iraq.....

IMO this has become our choice.

[cowdog77]

"The success or failure of the troop surge in Iraq may depend far more on whether those troops can again be hamstrung by politically restrictive "rules of engagement" than on how many troops there are."

This has been my concern from the beginning....we cannot win a politically correct war!!
