Admitting that they’ve been mistaken about Iraq guts the left’s argument for political entitlement
Very well stated by Ralph Peters, as always.
The upcoming election means far more to the majority of RATS than the security of Iraq, the Middle East or our own country. They will never admit that we and the Iraqis are winning the war against al Queda and terrorists there and that victory is within reach.
They blatantly lie and the saddest thing is that about half the people in our country believe every lie they throw out there, of course with the enemedia on their side it makes it far easier for them.
This is just the completion of what should have been done in Gulf War I. I was over in Bahrain just after the truce in the first Gulf War so I got to see life in the most moderate of the Gulf countries.
I think that most US Citizens would be shocked if they read the subtitles of the Islamic prayers shown on Saudi television. They were full of hate, jealousy and lust for killing. I saw nothing socially redeeming in these televised prayers and I was making sure I paid close attention while I had the chance to observe first hand. I am making an assumption that many other countries like Syria and Iran are much worse. I am also making an assumption that 10 years from now, looking back, most will view it a mistake that we did not force regime change in Syria and Iran too.
