Is this a trick question ?
Outstanding Article.
Well the original goal after the getting rid of Saddam was to build a stable, secular democracy which would lay the groundwork to overthrow the various Middle East Dictatorships.
Since it looks like Iraq just isn’t going to be stable in the next 15 years and it’s going to be more an ally of Iraq than the US and it’s not going to be an example of a democracy to the Muslims, we are looking to minimize our failure.
Liberalism is a mental illness.
This is a great article. It explains what is taking place with liberals in our nation better than I have seen it expressed elsewhere. I would encourage folks to read this article.
Thanks K-oneTexas. This was a good one.
I think that you meant to say "Iran". If that was your intention, then I disagree. Iran & Iraq will probably never be allies, the historical emnity is too great... even for the Iraqi Shia. I do agree with the rest of your statement about "minimizing failure" though I might use slightly different terminology.
Outstanding article!
This is an easy one and requires only a one word answer. That word is “Yes”.
They felt the same way about the Soviet Union and Vietnam. The left never look happy when the US wins. It is only when the US is wasting resources pumping billions of dollars of welfare into terrorist supporting countries that they seem content.
This also explains why liberals hate Christmas. They simply hate reminders of our Christian heritage.
Why so many words for a one word answer? YES
The only way the anti-American Left (the 'RAT party) will be willing to admit that Islamo-fascism is a threat to our security, is if they see 'mustachiod homophobic terrorists driving gas-guzzling SUVs into buildings in San Francisco.' (paraphrasing Gagdad Bob) bttt
You can tell the writer is a lawyer.
I’m afraid this author may be thinking too hard - - sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
Misery enjoys company and hates to see happiness. The rats want America defeated because they do not like America. They do not like America because they are bitter malcontents who are sick in the head and believe that life has been “unfair” to them and they need somebody to “apologize”.
The Dems know their (perceived) weaknesses, and foreign policy is a huge one. They want to steer the public's attention away from any discussion in that area, and toward their (perceived) strengths - basically handouts and services from government to the masses. "It's the economy, stupid" doesn't work when there are more important issues like National Security at stake. Do you think Clinton would have won in '92 if Gulf War I had still been ongoing? Bush won the war too soon, and debate shifted to domestic issues.
The Dems basically want the war to be over, so the sheeple will vote for the candidate who promises the most creature comforts like national health care. Winning or losing isn't really that important, as long as they can spin the result - it's either WE won the war (America), WE got us out of that quagmire (the Democrats) or THEY LOST (the Republicans). Either way, they want it off the front page before election day.
Thanks for the catch, but there’s been some disturbing incidences between the Elected Government and Iran. While they might not become US&Britain close, the Shia of Iraq and Iranian Mullahs have the same goals, Get rid of the Kurds, Get rid of Al-Queada, beat up sunni’s, blame Israel for everything.
If Iran plays it’s cards right, and with their BFF China helping out, Iran can be the big winner in all of this.
In a word, YES.
Yep, some Conservatives also suffer from this illness also, witness the WOD, gambling, porn etc. People should do the right thing because it is the right thing to do. The law should not even have to come into play until you violate someone else's rights. People should obey the law because they want to, not because they have to.
