Retreating under fire would give the terrorists a victory, just like the one they won against the Soviet in Afghanistan. I believe the media is faking the level of dissent in this country becaue it cannot stand to see Bush vindicated. There is a total disconnect between what is happening in Iraq - and here - and what is reported by the MSM. I do not believe that my country should or will surrender to a bunch of thugs with cheap explosives.
Bush has no critics to answer, only terrorists and their sympathizers, all of whom hate this country and would like to see it brought low. has TV ruined us so much we have no memories that 9/11 was real? We are in a war. It will last at least a generation. Our parents and grandparents hunkered down and fought the 'cold war' - which often got hot, and with far more than 1,800 casualties - for 40+ years. Did they blink?
The 1960s really set a rot in America, with weak-kneed boomers having raised spineless consumerists unwilling to trade one comfort for freedom. Well, they'll try to bring another President down and gloat at having done our enemy's work. Democrats, and the pansy-RINCOs who want us to call 'uncle' [I'm thinking Hagel, with his corset, haircut and 'purple hearts' - are they Kerry-stock?] ought to know that we'll remember who they are.
What did we do to traitors in WWII? Interview them on the radio, give them Op-Ed pages?
The left was sorry to see us win the Cold War too.
Like conservativebabe noted, whatever happened to the idea of treason?
I thought what you said was GREAT and bears repeating: "Bush has no critics to answer, only terrorists and their sympathizers, all of whom hate this country and would like to see it brought low."
This too: "Our parents and grandparents hunkered down and fought... Did they blink?"
And this: "The 1960s really set a rot in America, with weak-kneed boomers having raised spineless consumerists unwilling to trade one comfort for freedom."
Still, I'm on the edge- of the BOOMERANG (Man, that was pretty good if I do say so myself : ) My family, and apparently many others, judging from this forum, weren't raised like that.
