No...no...I don't expect that outrage from the Republicans.
Wonder why??? |
...as long as you don't want to.
A huge amount of the problem W is having, a huge amount of the criticism is from people like me who
are outraged; outraged at ineptitude and politics and bad decisions that lead to the injury and/or death of even one US trooper.
We're not faux outraged like Murtha and Pelosi and so many others who go to great links to invalidate fighting against fundamentalist Islam. We don't go around making up excuses as to what's illegitimate this week. We don't object to the use of force, we object to the poor use of force. Murtha and Co. object to W. They don't ever say 'we'll fight better or smarter' they say 'illegitimate! Lies!" and so forth.
Here's how you can tell this is the truth; If Democrats had actually been voted into power by this huge wave of anti war passion, Democrats would have had ZERO trouble shutting it down. They have not shut it down because it would cost them their jobs. It would cost them their jobs because most people don't want to lose this thing. Most people want us to survive over fundamentalist Islam and most people think that is going to take violence.
You'll notice the Dem debate conversations have nothing to do with ending it past 'oh, we can't tell now what we'd do if we win the election'. The only one that represents the 'end now' position is Kucinich and he's not close to winning. There is more evidence. In your own party just quiting is a minority position.
Now, if it makes you feel any better, Limbaughs deferment is very lame.
