The whole 'Murtha-massacre' vote firmly snatched control back from the shrieking Sheehan-crowd. Nice move. 'Bout time.
Now, Condoleeza is talking about 'drawdown' (notice: NOT 'withdrawal'). Why not withdrawal? Well, with a nice, stable Iraq needing support like, oh, say, Germany, or South Korea, what's the hurry? We have responsibilities to world stability, right?
Let's see: we'll have nice bases off away from the frail sensibilities of the local Imam, running a border patrol that will set the standard for the world (and perhaps allowing us to develop and reimport some techniques for our own southern border), and (zowie!) all within fast-response range of Iran, Afghanistan, Syria, Jordan, etc.
Nice support for the peace and security of the indigenous government without meddling. Stability for the region... Got some real hot selling points here that will demonstrate a pretty darn thoughtful (gasp!), and nuanced (that word!), treatment of a sovereign nation.
Like it, like it. This'll sell. Even in Europe.
I'm a slightly-above-average kinda guy, and that's on a good day. I don't think I thought of this first and certainly don't believe I have the details right. Whatever form the victory takes, I can't wait to see what happens when it's sprung on the Reids, Pelosis, Kerrys and the rest of the stooges.
Responsibility for our actions? Honor? Dignity? Fidelity? Finishing the job with Style? Slapping down treason-spewing cowards who can't get over their failures in Viet Nam?
Makes me proud to be an American. A conservative American, that is.
