I must admit, I'm beginning to enjoy this, in some twisted sense. I'll never forget being reminded of the words of Admiral Yamamoto on 9/11. Just after commanding the strike against Pearl Harbor, he chastised his celebrating officers by saying (paraphrased), "I fear that all we have done is awakened a sleeping giant." Awakened giants have many friends...

Apparently we do. That's why this made me so happy. To see troops ON THE GROUND. Unlike what we hope for from the cheese-eating surrender monkeys- simple permission to defend their sorry socialist asses from eventual destruction by suicidal hosts of terrorists straight out of the seventh century.

What I'm going to enjoy is, after the war, when we've accomplished what we intended with little allied loss of life, THEN what are the lefties going to whine about?

Yeah, I'm sure they'll think of something.

Awakened giants have many friends...

You might be surprised at how many. Those on the left would have you believe that the USA is all alone and reviled worldwide.

Yet somehow we have 23 countries backing us publicly and only five (well six if you count Iraq) opposing us publicly.

I have not been to Europe but I have been in South America, Africa and Asia. Anti-americanism is not as prevalent as you have been led to believe.

"I fear that all we have done is awakened a sleeping giant>"

On 9/11 I wondered who on earth would be so dumb to do that, and thought of "The Sleeping Giant" statement. I then realized that the years with Clinton fooled them into thinking the whole US was weak. They never counted on facing a Bush.
