snatching defeat from the jaws of victory
Reader comment on: Turnaround in Baghdad

Submitted by mike d., Jan 25, 2007 17:15

this post suggests to me, sadly, that America and the allies are going to run out of moral gas in the last few laps of the race, and the haggard enemy, who seems today stuck in pit row, will see this and find a way to duct-tape their ride just enough to get across the finish line while the Allies sit on the track with no gas left in the tank..

thank you defeatist members of Congress, who are overwhlemingly Democrat, and more supportive of military action in Darfur than they are in Iraq or anywhere else American soldiers are actually engaged in the field.

thank you biased and disgracefully one-sided media, whose leading lights are sometimes indistinguishable from our enemy in how they view American power as an unalloyed evil in need of "being taught a lesson."

And thank you Bush administration, for never owning up completely to what was required to assure victory and making thew case over and over and over again with conviction as often and with as much intensity as required.
