I am saddened to see more troops going to Iraq. A friend of mine's daughter is going on her second tour and a child that I knows mother is going. I guess if one knows a child that will be seperated from her mother for over a year and realized the effect that will have it puts a whole new spin on the war.
Its thanks to the liberals that the fighting is dragging on. The enemy thinks we are weak and wont stay the course. The liberals inspire the enemy to keep fighting. The war can only be lost on the home front.
George Bush is the reason for the war dragging on, not some liberal group. He should have listened to Shinseki and or done a little more comprehensive war planning for after the war.
Liberals don't inspire the enemy to keep fighting, the poor policy decisions that lead success for them do.
Saddam planned on melting back during an overwhelming attack and actually employed this tactic during the first gulf war. We should have planned for it better, controlled the weapons depots, and had a better handle of securing the territory after the big military push.
GW had a free hand in this war and can not blame any of it on the "liberals". He just made what seem to be some real strategic mistakes.
