The eloquence of a Churchill would fall on deaf ears during these times. The mainstream Democrats are hell bent to surrender in Iraq, the MSM is constantly whipping up anti war sentiments by their biased portrayal of what actually is happening in Iraq and the anti war kooks are now in ascendancy. Few realize that this is a war we dare not lose.

Unfortunately it will take another and perhaps more terrible attack on American soil to wake up the people.

I'd disagree with you, but the problem is you're largely right.

Unfortunately,the exodus of conservatives from the Democratic party in the 80's and 90's resulted in a power vacuum that was filled by the more radical leftists. As a any military tactician could tell you, any retreat should be covered. Conservatives failed to cover their retreat from the Democratic party. And what you see in leadership positions of the Democratic party today is a direct result of that.
