Lost

"The War in Iraq is lost". The thoughts, words and sentiments of Harry Reid and the scumbag, defeatist, weak, treasonous, fanatical liberals of the DNC. Harry is not the minority of his party, and in-fact, he may actually represent the views of millions of Americans. Herein lies the problem. Harry is a low-life, scumbag traitor who would have been tried, convicted and hung 100 years ago, a time when patriots understood the value and sanctity of this country and had the resolve necessary to fight for and defend it to the last man. Unfortunately, so many weak-spined, misguided, useful idiots have somehow captivated the American landscape, despite the reality that the majority of Americans do not want us to lose or retreat in the Iraq struggle. However, the nature of our challenge and the many successes seem to completely elude those in the news media as well as a huge number of fickle, weak, ADD Americans. The only thing worse than the rush to betray our military, is the fact that it is driven by millions of Americans whose only source of information is the nightly network news. This willful ignorance and a willingness by these millions to be lead around by the nose by a bunch of Manhattan liberal traitors is a sickening phenomenon and it will lead to the destruction of this great country from within.

Our defeat will not come at the hands of our enemies, it will come by way of the media and so many Americans' belief that the media is unbiased or actually reporting the entire truth. Why is it that people value their country and future so little that they are not even willing to put out the effort it takes to get informed? Why do you believe we should leave Iraq or stay in Iraq? What is the right course of action and why?

The pat answers come from both sides but the truth of the matter and the scope of the issues are much more complex than anyone seems to understand. This is the defining conflict of our age and our seeming willingness, at least as portrayed by the media, to abandon it does not bode well for our future. The terrorists in Iraq are following a forty year old play book and we are allowing it to work on our collective consciousness.

During the Vietnam conflict, the enemy knew they did not have to prevail against our troops but only to provide a daily body count to our media and the American public, defined at that time and today as well, by a bunch of feel-good, hippy, peace-niks who have no patience. The Communists played our media against us and they were ultimately successful. The insurgency in Iraq, funded and assisted by Mahmoud Ahmedinijad and his Islamic-Nazis are simply following the same play book. They understand the United States lacks resolve because the same bunch of dope-smoking hippies who succeeded in calling for our defeat in Vietnam, are now in positions of real power. They lack conviction and more importantly, the resolve to see this through to completion. The United States made a commitment to go into this conflict. Our leaders, Democrats and Republicans alike, stood, apparently united, and voted to send our troops into conflict.

The Democrats are made up of the feel-good, hippy, peace-niks and double talking, traitors. The Republicans are made up of a bunch of weak-spined politicians who would rather part ways from the Commander in Chief to preserve their political viability, than stand up to the weak, mislead, fools who are calling for our withdrawal. There is not an intelligent soul on this planet that believes for one second that the US Military cannot defeat the enemy in Iraq. We have the power, the technology and the personnel to wipe the map of the country of Iraq. Most intelligent souls, however, know that by pressuring a weak, American, Prime time TV culture, they will erode the support of Americans to be American. We commit, but seem incapable of maintaining the necessary resolve long enough to finish anything meaningful.

Resolve is the thing that sets us apart from our enemies in Iraq. They have it, our troops have it but the American public and the congressional body politic are as weak-spined and fickle as prime time TV. They want the war completed in the time it takes Jack Bauer to get involved in yet another catch-22. They want a first round knock out and for the opponents to then hug and high five each other. They have no taste for real blood or real conflict or reality for that matter. Popularity is more important than victory. Expedience is more important than honor; and peace, however temporary, is more important than security.
