I see nothing to praise Bush about his war leadership.

Nothing at all? Not even 50,000+ dead terrorists per year? revenge/justice for 9/11? no major attacks since then? thousands of American troops on the border of Iran and Syria?

One of the things I always laugh at is the impression people get that the war is somehow going badly. The truth is, only the MSM think that, and they're trying to convince everyone of it too. Don't believe them.

We've got Sadr and his buddies on the run. Osama too. The Iranians will kick the Brits around but their days are numbered as soon as W. gives the word. And he will give it soon, I think.

This is the message that needs to be put out there, none of this "OH NO GONZALEZ IS BAD LETS IMPEACH OUR COMMANDER DURING A TIME OF WAR!!!" crap.

I have friends and family that have served in Iraq. It is not going well at all. The MSM is heavily covering up what success there is and over emphasizing the failures but to say the war is going well is delusional.

That is not to say the war is “lost” or that we should leave now or anything of the kind. But in order to win this war we have to understand the situation. And the situation as of now is bad and deteriorating rapidly. The “surge” is a good thing, should have been done years ago but better late then never. It is still being implemented and has shown some limited success. What we need to do now is take out al-sadr and his militia, no more free passes and blind eyes it is time to facilitate his “martyrdom”. We need to stop ignoring the open meddling of the Iranians and Syrians and nip that in the bud now. We also need to demand real results from the Iraqi government. It is not our job to settle there inner quarrels, if they want our continued presence in there country they need to step up or we step out.
