Once again she is protesting our two wars abroad.

VDH, you're great, but it's one war, not two.

Mr. Obama, what is your exit strategy?

Where are the anti-war demonstrations in all the major cities?

When will code punk call for impeachment?

In addition to the new perspective on war, ya gotta love the new spin on the economy.

Man, did they work hard to tell us the sky was falling during the Bush years and now they are celebrating everyday with headlines like, “The sky has somewhat de-excelerated in it’s rampant doubleplusgood decent into absolute hell and why folks are finding it refreshing”

Sometimes foreigners and liberals bemoan that we did not learn the lessons of Vietnam. I would argue that we did learn lessons, we learned not to listen to those who would have us give up, to keep going and to support our troops. She is free to say what she will and we are free to ignore her.

“Public opinion and media attention about Iraq were always based largely on two factors that transcended whether Americans felt the removal of Saddam Hussein was wise and necessary — or misguided and wrong.”

We need another “Hussein removal”.

His analysis is partially correct at best. Here is my analysis:

  1. The Democrats (that includes the media) went along with the war because the American people knew the meaning of the 9-11 attacks.
  2. In the meantime, they quietly focus-grouped the talking points most effective in subverting the war effort and the Commander-in-Chief.
  3. When enough time had passed, they implemented their propaganda campaign (which W and the Republicans declined to counter.)
  4. Now that their man is the Commander-in-Chief, they no longer need to subvert the war effort for their political gain.
That's it in a nutshell.

During WW2 the American People could see the progess of our Troops across the map driving back the evil.

Today the American People can see that instead of driving back the evil we are fighting to preserve it

the evil is ISLAM
