I disagree. I see groups like this forming.

Vets for Freedom

http://www.vetsforfreedom.org/

I hear the Talk Radio hosts FINALLY getting off the bench on Iraq.

The vote totals in Congress are moving against the Democrat Leadership.

The 1st bill they managed to pass but could not over ride a Presidential veto. Now they cannot even get the votes for cloture and lost votes in the US House.

You are seeing more and more positive coverage leaking thur the DNC directed media’s censorship. You are even starting to see Repulican Congress critters, like Kit Bond today, get off their butt.

Pretty soon the Democrats are going to have to get off the pot and actually try to pull funding. When they do that they will lose all the “moderate” votes.

Time is on our side, not theirs. It always is. The more information that gets out there, the worse it is for the DC Propagandists message.

From Hillary Care, to Immigration to Iraq, the Elites can only win when they can move quick. The longer the debate drags out, the worse the DC Noise machine does.

I think the problem is most of your peer group are Vietnam Era vets. So they tend to run everything thru the “Lessons of Vietnam” rule book.

Get the American people behind you.

Win quick.

Don’t take many casualties.

Get the heck out.

Only problem is this rule book is written for a completely different sort of war. Vietnam and Iraq are not at all compariable. Here is why.

Vietnam did not start out with a 09-11 style attack on the US homeland.

There is no Watergate scandal to cripple the Administration.

The PC Media does not control the flow of information to nearly the extent they did in 1974. Both Talk Radio and the Internet provide just as many people with their information as Big Media.

The Talk Radio hosts are FINALLY starting to get into this fight.

The activist base on the Right is much larger, better organized and more activist then Nixon’s “silent majority”.

The Anti American movement on the Left is much smaller, more wacko and not being funded and actively aided by our enemies like their were during the late 1960s-early 1970s.

Iraq is not Vietnam Redux.

Vietnam was a Cold War proxy war bettween the conventionally armed Superpower proxies that the American people could not understand why we were fighting. It was fought with a draftee army thus giving an overwhelming personal “cause” for the petulent brats of the “anti War” movement.

Iraq is not a proxy war. It is a war against a clearly deadly foe. It is being fought with a volunteer military. And despite some patetic PR performances by those on our side, that message is out there and being communicated.

Forget the polling data. You can structure a poll to get almost any result you want. The fact is the Democrats did not even dare run against Iraq in 2006. They did everything to avoid having to clearly state a position.

Then they went to DC and got seduced by the rabid “Anti War” crowd that controls the US PC Media into beliving the 2006 results were all about Iraq. NO they were not.

And the proof is in the pudding. For 6 months, the Democrats have done NOTHING but grandstand on Iraq. NOW the ONLY support they have is the same rabid Leftist 10-15% that even after 09-11 did NOT support the President or the US in any poll.

No sir, time is on OUR side, not theirs.
