I'm saying: we need to not cave to the Democrats, which is why this whole vanity was posted in the first place. Too many conservatives are caving and this war will be "lost at home" if we do not keep a stiff upper lip.
I'm not for withdrawal before total victory is achieved. I am not for negotiations with Syria and Iran, the opposite is true, bomb Iran yesterday! This will cause Assad to pull a Qadhafi so fast you won't believe it and will simultaneously decapitate Hamas and Hezbollah.
I vote straight GOP and am praying to keep the RATs out.
If all of the above is not a "stiff upper lip" I don't know what is.
One thing, though, we have a lot of spineless Republicans in the Congress which isn't helpful. We have just about two years for this CIC to pull it out.

Bump to everything you said.
Either issue a call to arms and fight a war, or don't. But this halfass 'we just need 20K more' stuff is crap. And more asinine is any self-styled 'conservative' promising it all for nothing--there is simply no way to have guns and butter.
Me either. I think most of my generation is clueless about world affairs; pretty much the same is true about what is going on next door to them/us. I tend to think we had too much just done for and given to us!!

I love this.. i am having a debate tommorow in which we are having a mock election and this is one of the topics that i am debating.. this is good stuff.. the best that i have found about the war in Iraq.. finally somebody is telling it how it is.. Americans are becoming so apathetic to the world around us.. If we were to leave iraq now.. everything that we have worked to rebuild would be in vain.. Iraq is too vulnerable for us to leave now.. it would be so easy for another radical dictator to take control over their gov. It reminds me of the french revolution and how Napoleon was able to "take over" France when it was at its weakest point.. we all knew that this was going to be hard.. we can't quit just because it is "hard".. sometimes you have to suffer at times in order to make the future brighter.. we are giving he iraqis a future and a hope...
Not to mention liberals often squeal that we left Afghanistan a vaccuum and thus "created" the void that allowed the Taliban to take over and bin Laden to flourish. Now they want to do the same thing in Iraq. It's bizarre.
Excellent post, narby.
