Salem, thanks for the good news. You have to dig deep in order to find out about these things. I am also heartened by Cindy Sheehan’s bitter resignation, the failure of the “massive spring offensive” by the Taliban to materialize, the recent capture and killings of many Iraqi insurgent leaders, protests against Chavez in Venezuela, etc.
Regarding Iran, a good first step I would like to see immediately is the bombing of some EFP mine production facilities or some insurgent training camps.
You know, some thoughts on Sheehan. I think she is the most high-profile, pathetic example of those on the radical left who feel "sold out" by the Democrat leadership over their "failed" bid to pull the plug on this long war. Thing is we know the Democrat leadership in Washington is just as aware of the imminent threat the U.S. faces on many levels, yet they cynically continue to placate their base with promises of "bringing the troops" home and "stopping Bush" and all the rest of the BS they publicly spout so they can win the White House.
All the time carefully balancing the political game in Washington so the detterance Bush has established in the global arena since 9/11 isn't too degraded. All the while they perpetuate the delusional worldview of the Cindy Sheehan's of the country that bringing down Bush is "just around the corner," while at the same time knowing the U.S. and Israel has to prevail in this monumental conflict.
