Do you see now how Liberal B.S. damages the war effort?

Question

I was going to grab a link, but the story has been taken down or moved. But Musharraf has withdrawn from a committee of Pakistani and Afghan leaders to work towards peace. His spokesman said there was too much meddling coming from Washington about violating Pakistan's sovereignty. Obama has been shooting off his mouth without thinking again (or maybe he doesn't do thinking!). A couple days ago, he said he would attack Pakistan to try to kill Al Qaeda leaders.
Musharraf has been a good ally in the war against terrorism, but old "Make it up as you go" Obama has made the President's job a little harder. I guess that is ok, if you operate on the premise that the harder Bush's job is, then the more likely Democrats will gain advantage.
Can anyone deny that Liberal B.S. is killing US Servicemen? Pretty much the same way as they did during Vietnam?

Dan: You big dummy, the terrorists KNOW when the election is. They know all they have to do is to hold out for a Democrat to be elected, and TaDa! They win!

3D Farms: Indeed we do have the right to saw what we please AND the Democrats have the right to endanger our troops lives with their B.S.
But I don't have to vote for the sorry scum! Just like Vietnam, they announced to the North Vietnamese, "Hold on a little longer, we get in office we will let you have the south."

Answer 1

You're absolutely right, but that's just the tip of the old iceberg. They'll only deny it and rationalize it. "The ends justify the means", that sort of thing. It's amazing how blind they are to this simple and basic reality.

This should sound familiar. It's the old democratic play book. Vote for war and then actively undermine it:

The August 3, 1995 edition of the Wall Street Journal carried an interview with former North Vietnamese Colonel Bui Tin, a member of the North Vietnamese general staff and the man who received the surrender of South Vietnam’s President Duong Van Minh on April 30, 1975. The interview was conducted by Stephen Young, a Minnesota human rights activist.

Colonel Tin described the military and political events of the war from his vantage point in Hanoi. What he described was the step-by-step defeat of U.S. forces, not on the battlefield, but in the White House, in the Halls of Congress, in the streets of America, and on our college and university campuses. Sound familiar?

As I read Col Tin’s recitation of how events played out in Vietnam – step-by-step-by-step – I couldn’t help but think of the motto embroidered across the shoulder patch that I wore during the last eighteen months of my military service. The shoulder patch was the insignia of the U.S. 7th Army, and the motto embroidered across the bottom read, “Seven Steps To Hell.”

Col. Tin was asked, “How did Hanoi intend to defeat the Americans?” He responded, “By fighting a long war which would break their will… Ho Chi Minh said, ‘We don’t need to win military victories, we only need to hit them until they give up and get out.’ ”

Col. Tin was asked, “What about Westmoreland’s strategy and tactics caused you concern?” He responded, “Our senior commander in the South, Gen. Nguyen Chi Thanh, knew that we were losing base areas, control of the rural population, and that his main forces were being pushed out to the borders of South Vietnam… Johnson had rejected Westmoreland’s request for 200,000 more troops (and) we realized that America had made its maximum military commitment to the war… ”Democrats and anti-war radicals maintain constant pressure to turn public opinion against the administrations new “troop surge” strategy, even threatening to cut off funding for our troops.

Answer 2

I would say that it's a complicated situation over there and that Obama is a simple-minded foreign policy thinker, to say the very least.

Who says we're NOT going after bin Laden? The only way we're going to do so is with special forces. Many Bush critics are good at saying what military operation they would support INSTEAD, rather than supporting any operation going on now. Talk is cheap.

Pakistan's leader is no prize. But I'd rather take half a loaf rather than withdraw support, like Kennedy did with the Diem brothers in VietNam and Carter did with the Shah in Iran. Two presidents in over their head, and not looking at the situation realistically. Obama is of the same mold, it seems.

Answer 3

Of course they will deny it.
I haven't even read any answers so far but I am willing to bet that they are going to put it all on Bush.

When we left Vietnam we promise to provide money for aid to keep up the fight. Yet Congress stuck to the Nixon by cutting off funds.
Thus giving Pol Pot free run but that is OK because they embrassed Nixon.

You now have a prime minster of England not even allowing people to call them Muslim terrorists anymore.
PC at its worst.

The prime directive of liberalism is to bash Bush and they don't care what Muslim terrrorists will or want to do to us.

Considering a 1/3 believe Bush did 9/11 tells you what grip they have on reality.

Liberals don't understand what we are facing.
Dennis Miller was a liberal but now he understand what is coming at us.

Yet I can go on and on with examples get a bunch of thumbs down. No liberal here is willing to open their mind to the danger we are facing and it is not in the White House.

Answer 4

1. Getting shot down and being imprisoned in a POW camp does not make someone a war hero. 2. Would you really want someone that is brain damaged running the country. 3. The alternative to McCain is just as bad and possibly worse.

Answer 5

If he's such a great ally, then why after 6 years later has he not rooted terrorists out of his territory, and why is he opposed to taking a back seat and let us do the job when there's TALK of us doing it. By the way, the talk is a non-binding pre-election promise by a non-president.

For years we've been hearing bin Laden is holed up in the mountains in Pakistan. I remember 9/11, isn't this the guy that did it? So talk of apprehending the mastermind that started the US involvement in the war on terror (not exactly, but play along) damages the war effort? How do you figure?

Answer 6

I am not sure I can go as far as saying they are killing our troops but they are putting them in more of harms way by giving the idea that more body bags will make them pull troops and all this pull out date agenda they have. Its is exactly what bin-Laden said before the war that if the terrorists just waited it out the American people would give up as they did in Vietnam, Lebanon, Somalia, etc. We need to stay and complete the mission if we are ever to defeat radical Islam and people like Obama and his naive views will just destroy us more.

Answer 7

I would think our arms deal with India would have been a much worse way to treat our supposed "ally" on terror (Pakistan).

Candidates' chatter about the Paki border is no more different than the Mullahs in Pakistan spreading anti-US hate messages, which of course, Musharraf seems unable or unwilling to stop.

Answer 8

Wow, the Republicans sure have short memories. Remember when Bush vowed to follow terrorists wherever they roost? Well if they're in Pakistan.....then, anyway they weren't in Iraq until Dubya gave them free entry by toppling Saddam. Guess he forgot about Osama.

Answer 9

You spoke for a lot of people today!I find it so inexcusable that he could do such a thing, the same with Pelosi!! I don't understand why there can't be some legal action against them but whatever, they will be the downfall of this country yet!

Answer 10

I deny that. Democrats may be trying to bring back our troops, but the people over in Iraq and Afghanistan know Bush will not back down, so what is the difference? They hate Bush and they do not want him to succeed. Whether or not the democrats are against his policies makes no difference to how many people will get killed. Plus, Obama is not our president. He has followers, but no say when it comes to running the executive branch of government. You are saying that things he says is angering the people over there enough to kill more of our troops? Gimme a break! They are already trying to take out as many americans as possible....

BTW jj raider I agree. And you rule.
