From Frank J. of IMAO:
Is it to the point where, empty campaign promises aside, even Obama can't screw it up?
If that's true, that's not only a victory over terrorists -- who it was never any doubt our military could defeat -- but over whiny Americans who don't have any respect for war or patriotism. It's pretty odd that our military has gotten so good that no one out there can even stand up against them so instead American(s) take it upon themselves to be the foils, attacking our forces from a more psychological angle. It seemed so effective after Vietnam, but it looks like the whining may not be enough this time.
Good point. When this war is over, one thing needs to be remembered. It was the left in this country that tried to lose this war. Repeatedly, for years. It is the left that needed this war to be a failure to regain power. It is the left-wing media that still (mostly) refuses to report that we are winning, and indeed in many ways, have already won.
If (liberals') war against our military is truly lost in Iraq, do you think they'll turn on Afghanistan? If you remember, liberals starting calling "quagmire" about a week or so into it before getting distracted by other things. It will probably make a difference whether it's a Democrat or Republican president when the focus changes, but violent pacifists gotta mindlessly oppose something.
We've already seen this. Dems are starting to realize that they failed at trying to surrender this war and are already harping on the problems we face in Afghanistan. Quick, retreat before it's too late and we start kicking ass there too!
I think the way to defend against this in the future is to simply not tell liberals about a war. We would never (expect) any contributions from them, so there's no reason why we tell them. And they probably don't know anyone in the military to find out there's a war on. We can then tell them after the job is done, because post-war whining is inconsequential. The enemy is already dead and can't get encouragement from it.
