While you may be cheering for the sand rats in this war, don't buy any life insurance on any of them. We are sweeping and clearing.
The anti-American Dem's, and Mad Cow McCain's, view of this war was represented on FOX last night by an ex-general who was so senile you could almost see him drooling. He, of course, desperately wants to see us get back to brass cannon (worked for Napoleon, after all), wooden ships (no petroleum needed), pikes instead of those obnoxiously loud rifles (gotta hump all those silly bullets up to the line-BAH!!), and-naturally-the DRAFT (As to what, exactly, the grunts are supposed to do, other than get killed en mass wondering into friendly fire-like they always did, he didn't say.)
He was opposed by a retired colonel who was very obviously trying to keep from blurting out that the OLD MAN was comprehensively full of shit.
You're kind of guy-that general... |
