“So DU pest what are you doing here ?
You could care less about our troops .”
My apologies, what IS the party line on this? That if it takes 100 years to defeat a few thousand jihadis in the sands of Iraq, then so be it? If General Powell were dead, he’d be spinning in his grave.
And just to educate you a little bit, one not need be a pom pom waver on the Iraq war in order to be a conservative. I was against it going in, I thought and still think that Paul Bremmer was, well can one BE criminally ignorant?
I am however a huge fan of General Patreus (and one of his BGDR Generals’ that I served under when he was a light bird, Dana J.H. Pittard) as I believe that these men will end this war in as positive a manner as possible for all involved and a damned sight sooner than 100 years.
Well, since he isn't, I suppose he's spinning in his hammock.
Powell does support more of McCain's positions on the Iraq war than he does Bush, though.
If General MacArthur knew Powell and McCain's positions on waterboarding, closing Camp Gitmo and amnesty, he'd be spinning in his grave!
