Gen. Petraeus Thanks All who Support Our Troops

Gen. David Petraeus ended his formal, prepared remarks today in front of the pompous Senators by thanking all of those who support our troops. He said support from home is important to the troops on the ground and that he appreciates it very much.

Congratulations to all of you who support Move America Forward, the largest pro-troop organization in the country. Your prayers, contributions and physical help is recognized by our men and women on the ground and by their leader.

Such a gentleman. Especially when you stack him up against Ted “The Swimmer” Kennedy and other blowhards in the Senate. What is wrong with the folks who keep electing the likes of Kennedy. This guy is pickled. Done. Put a fork in him.

Kennedy and other lefties grilled Petraeus, whose expertise and honesty overwhelmed the nitpickers.

The very condensed message from Petraeus who, at this hour, faces more Senate questioning.

Things are a whole let better in Iraq than a year ago. American troops are the best ever. We are winning (my words). We need to be careful about pulling out troops or we will give al Qaeda a “safehouse,” if you will, from which to operate its killing operations.

I’m going back to listening here. Will down some Tums so these America-haters to make me lose my breakfast.

It’s difficult to imagine they are so blatantly antiAmerican!

See this :

Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left

And a review:

**********************************

By  Kat Bakhu (Albuquerque, NM United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left (Hardcover)
I had long wondered why people on the Left had the propensity to speak more positively about people who would slit their throats than they do about their own country, which affords them more freedom and opportunity than anywhere else. David Horowitz has answered that question thoroughly and convincingly in his Unholy Alliance. Where I felt bewildered and confused, I now feel crystal clear. Unholy Alliance is such a great book.

It begins with the leftist movements at the beginning of the 20th Century, and works its way up to the present day, exploring the anti-American attitude of these movements in detail. Horowitz shows that the enemies of the US back then are largely the same group today, operating under the same misperceptions, making the same mistakes, and pursuing the same impossible utopia.

Individual chapters are included on the Patriot Act (I was persuaded that it is a GOOD thing); the democratic flip-flop on Iraq once G.W. Bush implemented what they agreed with Clinton needed to be done; the driving components of the current anti-war movement; as well as chapters on individual personalities who are major spokespeople of the Left. Horowitz covers a lot of ground, and he covers it concisely and clearly. Unholy Alliance is richly informative without ever being boring or plodding.

This book is so illuminating that I simply cannot do justice to it here. I love people who reason so clearly that they help me get my own reasoning clear. Horowitz is just that type of person! In the terrain of mindless clichés (no-blood-for-oil, etc.), he is a breath of real fresh air.

Helen could give good advice on being fat and disgustingly ugly but she has no business telling a 4 Star general how to fight a war. We don't need war fighting advice from liberals who never saw a fight they didn't run away from. Let the queer eye liberals do the shopping and the men in the military do the fighting.Thank you.
