Kissinger is over the Hill.
IMO, if we cut and run again, America will look like a paper tiger and all our enemies will come knocking guaranteeing another 9/11. At some point, the American people are going to have to face the reality that we, the American people, are at war with extremist that want to destroy our way of life. Iraq or no Iraq that fact will not change.
The Iraq war defeatists and appeasers are doing all they can to turn Iraq into a Vietnam.
Iraq is not Vietnam but it will become Cambodia if the Dems get their way.

Hey Kissassenger, go polish your Peace Prize that cost 2 million SE Asian lives.
Pray for W and Our Troops
I can’t help but remember that Kissinger’s “Peace With Honor” cost about three million Southeast Asians their lives after we left.
Those who fail to learn from history are doomed.
In 1950, Truman sent troops back to South Korea to free it from the Communist North Korean army of Kim il-Sung which had invaded and occupied most of S. Korea earlier that year.
30,000 Americans died in the remaining 30 months of Truman's presidency, because we had abandoned S. Korea prematurely instead of lingering there like we did in Germany and Japan.
I always like reading Max Boot. Thanks for finding and posting.

The only thing that could conceivably alter their calculations is a change in the balance of power on the ground. That is what Army Gen. David Petraeus is trying to achieve. But he is being undermined by incessant withdrawal demands from home, which are convincing our enemies that they can wait us out.”
