Pixie Dust, Please

Petraeus: War will not magically end in September.  Counter-insurgency takes time. Iran and Syria are our enemies and want us to fail. That would be bad.

Pols:  But you promised.  Give abandonment a chance. 

Bizarre military and political theories induced:  

Left Field: Here, let me give you a quick display of my ignorance of military affairs. War was easier in the old days when the enemy wore uniforms, and massed infantry took hills amid unbelieveable carnage.  Counterinsurgency is hard.  Let’s give up.

Brilliant at Breakfast (self-described): A general who wants to win is a Bush administration tool. Get us a general who wants to lose. After the right-leaning MSM smears Obama and Edwards and gets one of its fascist darlings elected, what are they going to do, empty loonie bins and prisons for cannon-fodder?  

Huffpo: Petraeus = MacArthur = Westmoreland.   

All Spin Zone: Petraeus must say what we want to save his “good retutation.” 

Hold on, some glimmers of rationality:

Firedoglake: Kerry, Democrats incoherent.

Moderate Voice: Politics involved.

Topics: Iraq, military, pols

   A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention.

   First off, to equate Westmoreland with MacArthur is just wrong. In fact, to equate anyone with MacArthur is just wrong.

   Why is everyone ignoring the fact that Iran has planned a summer campaign explicitly to push the US government out of Iraq. We’ve heard about those plans, and then we’ve seen the actions of Syria, and Iran and their terrorist proxies that show these plans in action. I want to say that I don’t understand how this is happening, but I’m afraid I understand all too well.

   I don’t understand the way these people think, honestly I don’t. It’s as if they can only see as far as their gameplaying and wishful thinking will take them. How peaceful it must be to think you’re living in a world where choices should never be hard, sacrifices never made, and consequences don’t exist.
