Sarah Palin: Finally, A Decision for Afghanistan: We're In It to Win It
Sarah Palin Facebook ^ | Dec 1, 2009 | BigTigerMike

Posted on 12/01/2009 7:43:51 PM PST by Bigtigermike

Three months ago, I joined a number of Americans in urging President Obama to provide the resources necessary to achieve our goals in Afghanistan. Tonight, I am glad he mostly heeded that advice........

Or this part, also from post 358:

“the spirit to support terrorists is broken”

You have yet to post one thing that makes sense and that demonstrated coherent thought.

It wasn’t my intention to scare you with the reality of defeating our enemies by eliminating their fighters on the battlefield, and breaking their psychological will.

Keep your blinders on, and forget this conversation. When you encounter superior arguments opposing yours, label them as not making sense.

You’re going to be fine.

ROFLOL, any you posted dozens of times and each time a different line of BS. How many attempts did you make, 90% of which was nonsense. Now you have finally come to the conclusion there is no conclusion. You have improved. LOL

Now I get it. You either say the opposite of what you believe is the truth, or you believe both opposing sides and at any given moment simply pick that side which seems to suit your needs.

That makes you a leftist.

Again, victory in war means killing as many of your enemies as possible, while breaking the will of their political leaders.

Gone off the deep end again? How many different answers did you give before this one: "Again, victory in war means killing as many of your enemies as possible, while breaking the will of their political leaders." Which is mostly correct! Five or six??? Your fist answer was some silly statement about my asking the question.

Of course, for the left victory means defeat of America. Maybe that’s why so many are confused about it—U.S. victory is the leftists’ defeat.

What I don’t understand is how anyone could support an ideology with no rational basis. When I say no rational basis, I mean that no leftist can articulate a rational justification of their worldview—not when its most basic premise is out in the open.

Unfortunately for the leftists, this means their most sacred belief—the power of their intellect—is a cruel myth.

It must be painful to be forced to stifle one’s most deeply held convictions, knowing that the act of revealing this ideology in public would, due to its complete lack of intrinsic value, destroy any hope of perpetrating it onto American society.

But surely it feels like salt on the wound to know that even if one did reveal one’s leftist agenda, there is no rational discourse available to explain, in plain English, its justification.

In simple terms, that means no leftist can ever win a real argument.

What in the hell are you talking about. I haven’t posted anything to you in days. You must be having another discussion with yourself not one word makes any sense. Get off the bottle.

It’s the policymakers who screw things up for us. Those who serve political correctness and make victory seem unattainable. Here’s a definition of victory for anyone who has deprived himself of both common sense and imagination: 1) Start with rules of engagement more like the ones we played in WWII. 2) Battlefield victories, when unhindered by political correctness, become psychological victories. 3) Psychological victory is the target threshold. 4) Beyond this threshold, a positive feedback mechanism initiates. The enemy breaks and lays down arms (yes, that means all future terrorists and suicide bombers). So you see, victory means real fighting, which is possible only after cleansing ourselves of the scum of political correctness

Totally agree.

You must break the enemies will.

“We need to ‘define victory’ because the U.S. has entered into conflicts with no set goal or objective.”

So your demand should be directed to the politicians and bureaucrats, the elitists and the statists—those who need to learn the definition of victory. The definition is second nature to regular Americans, who haven’t been handicapped by political correctness.

Very true.

And that is why it is important to declare war by Congress, to have a full commitment by the American people and defined goals.

Apparently Sarah is more valuable doing what she is doing now, giving interviews, giving speeches, writing a book, touring the country, rallying large numbers of excited people to the conservative cause and maybe preparing a presidential run. Forgetting that evil word "profit" for the moment, certainly Sarah is providing more value now than she would have, if she had remained pinned down in Alaska until Jan. 2011.

By 'pinned down' do you mean fufilling her obligations as Governor?

No, read the full context and try again before you make an attempt at a response

No, reading that nonsense once was enough.

She was elected to be Governor, she should have fufilled her obligations.

The Conservative movement would have somehow survived without her.

I’m trying to motivate you to confront your fear of me.

You really don’t have to hide from real debate, shielding yourself by flinging personal attacks like this. I think you can allow yourself to have confidence in your ability to discuss things on a substantive level.
