Why are Americans sick of a war if they are winning? What have they contributed to the war effort except watching MSM to tell them they are losing at every turn? Have they bought war bonds, are they rationing food? No. The time is now to tell Americans that they are winning, they are safer if terrorists are defeated across the globe and there is less chance of another 9/11 if Al Qaeda doesn't have a home base in Iraq. This shouldn't be a hard message, but it is because the liberal mindset. That mindset wants failure, wants another Vietnam, wants to relive the dream of world peace through talking to an enemy who doesn't want to talk but wants to kill the infidel. Many Americans take their way of life for granted and think that the whole world, especially the enemy, is just like them: reasonable human beings who want peace. They think this because they are not pressed to think or live differently. If they lived in Israel where rockets are falling on them nightly maybe, just maybe, they might see things differently -- they might be singing something else than All You Need Is Love. But for now they are enchanted with American Idol and Obama and the promises of another golden calf to entertain them through to the fall.

This is precisely the criticism I have for the current Bush Administration and its appeasement, through Secretary Condi Rice and Depy Secretary Chris Hill, of North Korea and Kim Jong il (as a Conservative, as I also did here on FR during the horrible, quisling Clinton Administration).

"Why are Americans sick of a war if they are winning? .... except watching MSM to tell them they are losing at every turn?"

There is the answer. It's because we have a Nation of sheeple. We will deserve everything we get and the greater population have no one but themselves to blame. Of course they won't do that but will find a scapegoat, one conveniently provided them by the left and their pals ion the treasonous media.
