You know, there is an important story that should be researched, written and published by someone and that is:
- How the mainstream media has opposed this war virtually from the start;
- How public opinion was changed and managed throughout this struggle against Bush and the American objective;
- How the insurgents took solace and sustenance from the breaking of US public opinion against our effort;
- How the terrorists adjusted their tactics to magnify what the Dems were saying and trying to achieve; and
- If we ultimately lose this "battle" (we will never lose the war) in the War on Terror, it will be thanks to the coordinated efforts of the Democrats (or is it Democratics?), the MSM, the UN, the cowardly European nations who refused to join this effort, the leftist Hollyweird glitterati, and the terrorist all of whom have coordinated their efforts in the name of defeating George W. Bush.
If that should happen, I hope they'll be happy, because they're going to have lots and lots of blood on their hands -- and not just Iraqi blood, but the blood of US soldiers and thousands of innocents in the Middle East, in Europe (get ready Old Europe: here comes the WOT!) and in the US. And Dems: maybe you can ride this defeat to victory in 2008 but the day of reckoning will be coming quickly. Enjoy your moment in power because it may be the last for a very long time.
LEFTIST DENIAL
The Nov. 15 edition of the left-wing radio show "Democracy Now" featured former Sen. George McGovern debating whether we withdraw troops from Iraq or increase them.... He was asked by the host, "You were one of the earliest people speaking out against the U.S. attack and U.S. involvement in Vietnam. What happened? How did the U.S. pull out? What were people saying then?"
McGovern's reply was nothing short of delusional. He said, "... they were saying the same thing they're saying about Iraq. We were told all during those long years when I and others were trying to terminate our military involvement in Vietnam, an intervention that the chief architects now say was a dreadful mistake. ...that if we pulled out - maybe it was a mistake to go in, but if we pulled out, there would be a slaughter of people in Vietnam of indescribable dimensions, that Ho Chi Minh and his people would just slaughter everybody in the country that disagreed with him. We also were told that the countries next door would start toppling into communism, if we left Vietnam. None of that happened."
Why would they deny?
The answer may be found in a 1995 essay written by the newly elected Virginia senator, Democrat James Webb. A veteran of Vietnam, Webb wrote an essay titled, "Robert McNamara, the Anti-War Left, and the Triumph of Intellectual Dishonesty," for the Fall 1995 edition of Strategic Review.
Webb wrote, "The reason ... was stated most honestly and directly to me by George McGovern ... while taping the "CNN Crossfire' show ... the antiwar candidate who had once promised to go to Hanoi on his knees if he were elected President turned to me and announced in his emotionless monotone, 'What you don't understand is that I didn't want us to win that war."
