I haven't read any of the replies, but if true to form some of them will say the war is being fought incorrectly therefore we should just withdraw.

Don't let another son or daughter die for an incorrectly fought war, they scream.

Many, many "conservatives' justify their defeatism that way. But by their logic, we wouldn't have carried WWII on to victory, because that war was tragically ill-fought, resulting in hundreds of thousands of needless casualties. Because EVERY war is incorrectly fought.

EVERY BLASTED ONE OF 'EM.

Exactly, they cover their defeatist attitude with their "Macho Talk" but at the end they call on us to leave Iraq and handle the terrorists their ultimate victory.

Everyone should read post 47 by "txrangerette", she hit the nail right in the head.

There were certainly tactical blunders in WWII, but FDR never enabled Nazi sympathizers in the same way we do with the likes of CAIR.

I agree with most of your analysis regarding the fact it is necessary to win. But here's the problem. When those of us questioned early on things like strategy, mission, the ability to train the Iraqi's to stand on their own, the WMDs not existing, we would be met as friendly liberators, the Iraqi factions want peaceful co-existance, the removal of Saddam and family would go a long way to bring the country together, the elections would bring the country together.....all the things the President has now fessed up to that has made the situation, well you know......we were told we were wrong, didn't know what we were talking about, not supporting the troops, undercutting the President, since we're not on the ground how could we know, the press is only reporting the bad news (true, but there was plenty of bad to report) and on and on.

There has been a lot of stuff finger pointed at us that is now proven true and coming from the mouth of the President.
