May was another normal month in the war against Islamism. At home, a delusional Rosie O’Donnell was back at it. She reminded her viewers that the United States has killed over 600,000 innocents in Iraq. And in an impassioned plea, she and her cohorts reminded us dullards that zealous jihadists must have some understandable reason for being so, well, zealous. Perhaps she meant in the same way that the zealous Waffen SS must have had some legitimate reason for its strong feelings?
Jimmy Carter was also plugging another book on his Christian piety by slandering a president at war for mixing religion and politics. He reminded us that evoking God wins approval from the mainstream when it comes from the Left, only outrage when practiced on the Right. But why would Carter jettison his trope when attacking the commander in chief at a time of war had already won him a Nobel Prize? And why refrain from disparaging talk of a “war against terror” when you did the same about an “inordinate” fear of Communism?
Even as scholars, along with politicians like John Edwards, were assuring that the war was “overblown,” more terrorists were arrested for plotting to kill soldiers at Fort Dix, and plots more sinister still were uncovered in the United Kingdom. CAIR kept warning us about our illiberal prejudices against Muslims, while each week or so we uncover another cartoonish effort of some young, “mixed-up” Middle Easterners to aid our enemies or blow us up. That such wannabe killers are usually incompetent or amateurish is apparently supposed to remind us how the threat is exaggerated or our own response disproportionate: we are like the worrywart who can’t just keep calm when someone with terrible eyesight is taking potshots at him with a deer rifle

You beat me to posting this...excellent read.
Have a great Memorial Day weekend!
I’m old enough to remember when the Democrats cut funding for the Vietnam war, the U.S. pulled out and, subsequently, millions were placed into “re-education” camps or killed.
Now the Democrats want to pull the plug on the Iraq war. What will happen if they succeed?
“...the U.S. pulled out and, subsequently, millions were placed into “re-education” camps...”
I work with a guy who spent 17-years in one of those concentration camps. When he was released, he ran as fast as he could and didn’t stop running until he made it to the US and liberty.
Pho is one of the patriotic and loyal Americans I have ever met and I am proud to be his fellow citizen!

I remember when we pulled out of Vietnam. It was a huge embarrassment for the US, but there was no possibility that the Viet Cong would follow us back home. That is the fundamental difference between that war and this one.
“What will happen if they succeed?”
Just as GWB has repeatedly stated,
if we leave Iraq before the mission is completed;
the terrorists will follow us home.
I would rather fight the terrorists on their sand than ours.

Just as GWB has repeatedly stated, if we leave Iraq before the mission is completed; the terrorists will follow us home....and I'll leave the door open for them to do so.
.How else would they "follow us home"?
Storm the beachs of Malibu Normandy style?
VDH is a shill mouthpiece for AEI and a proponet of The Project For a New American Century. In other words an advocate of nation building ala Vietnam, Iraq, Somolia and Kosovo. He is part of the neo con cabal which is giving Bush bad advice.
I wish more people would challenge this figure instead of just letting that bogus propaganda slide.

Well in war, as I can personally confirm, it is difficult to determine how many have actually been killed.
The important fact is that Saddam Hussein is history and Iraq has been liberated.
But as I just posted, folks won’t have to hear her diatribes on the “View” any longer.
She is history.
