I have come to the realization that these fools are never going to understand that this country is under fire and that we are at war with a enemy that is not going away.
This is not your granddaddy's war.
My liberal sister is happy. But, she has three questions to answer:
a. Are the Islamic terrorists, the ones who are killing innocent children, women and men, bad people who should be stopped?
b. What makes her think that they will stop in Iraq?
c. In response to no answer to b, repeat a.
Rumsfeld had it, and has it, right!
Mr. Rumsfeld referred to his many critics on Iraq by paraphrasing a hero, Winston Churchill: "I have benefited greatly from criticism, and at no time have I suffered a lack thereof."
He then talked of "this little understood, unfamiliar war," a conflict the Pentagon has dubbed "the long war" because of the time it will take to dismantle al Qaeda worldwide.
You're right. Grandpa wouldn't have fought with politically correct considerations in mind. Fallujah would have been salt.
