A Different Spin On The Iraqi War

Dr. Vernon Chong, Major General, USAF, Retired wrote:

To get out of a difficulty, one usually must go through it. Our country is now facing the most serious threat to its existence, as we know it, that we have faced in your lifetime and mine (which includes WWII).

The deadly seriousness is greatly compounded by the fact that there are very few of us who think we can possibly lose this war and even fewer who realize what losing really means.

[...]

The Muslims fully know what is riding on this war, and therefore are completely committed to winning, at any cost. We better know it too and be likewise committed to winning at any cost.

What will it take to win the War in Iraq? More importantly, what will be the cost if we don't win?

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

*"The Muslims fully know what is riding on this war, and therefore are completely committed to winning, at any cost. We better know it too and be likewise committed to winning at any cost."

AMEN to that. I fully agree. There is no way to win without sacrifice. Our soldiers know it and have lived by that creed since our very beginnings. Look at how many men suffered and died from the freezing cold in summer clothes during the Revolutionary War and all our other wars. Our soldiers have always sacrificed for our freedoms and safety.

We owe them our existence. We owe them our trust, faith and loyalty.

However, there are those in our country that feel when our soldiers get a broken fingernail, that they should be brought home. They have even stated that our soldiers should not be in harms way.

How stupidly insensitive and unAmerican is that?

*random, semi-unrelated observation:

youtube user marsCubed seems to think that the only reason Iran is run by "nutters" is because of the Bush Administration

of course it's not because khomeini and khamenei have been kicking around for the past 30 years
