Our disgusting Dem run Senate would never have reconfirmed him for a second term. Instead they would have used his confirmation hearing as a circus of accusations, further damaging the war effort.
Have we ever before been in a war with half of the country's leaders taking action to keep us from victory? I will always believe that the war in Iraq would have ended years ago if it were not for our Dem legislators and our DBM encouraging the enemy to keep fighting.
Do you remember "The Most Trusted Man In America" declaring the Tet Offensive an American loss and disaster? Yes, it was none other than Walter Cronkite who it turns out later as we found out from the NV general(can't remember his name)were ready to quit the fight but ole Walter gave aid and comfort to the North Vietnamese and allowed them to keep fighting. They had lost that battle, big time,and knew it and were going to quit but good ole Walter gave them the news they needed to keep fighting.
So, what else is new?
Yes, it's called The Civil War.
