Thanksgiving Day greeting for the troops
Ben Stein is his usual eloquent self in thanking the troops for putting everything on the line for our fat, lazy asses. He also wonders what Patrick Fitzgerald thinks he's doing.
2.) It is not just a guess, but a certainty that if the U.S. were to abruptly withdraw from Iraq, as the Democrats are urging us to do, there would be a bloodbath in Iraq far worse than what we have seen so far. There would be outright civil war, large scale massacres of civilian populations beyond what we have seen by an order of magnitude, and a Middle East in chaos as Iran, the Kurds, and the Sunnis fought it out for land and oil and power. The word of the United States would be mud. Is this really what the Democrats want? Can they really contemplate with calm equanimity the mass murders that will follow a sudden U.S. withdrawal?
I see a frightening pattern here: the Democrats wanted us out of Vietnam, and never mind the genocide that followed. The Democrats want us out of Iraq and never mind that the Baathists will fill the vacuum and all Iraq will be screaming in pain except the murderers, who will exult -- especially Osama bin Laden. Can it be that the Democrats really want to surrender to the same man who killed 3,000 civilians on 9/11 and laughed about it? Are we so weak that in only four years, after a war smaller in casualties than many unknown battles of the Civil War, we are already eager to surrender to the man who murdered women and children and made terrified couples hold hands and leap to their deaths from the World Trade Center? If so, there really is little hope for us as a people. My prayer is that careful reflection will convince the Democrats that while we are all unhappy about the war, war is hell, and surrender is far worse.

and a Happy Birthday to Mauro!
You are full of shit, Saddam was a secular despot and there was no Al Qaeda in Iraq before the invasion. There is nothing sweeter than Imperial arrogance getting it's ass handed back. I love dead American soldiers.
What a lovely human being you must be. Do you love dead kittens too?

You are truly a top intellect.
The US Army could use your cultural skills, don't you want to visit wonderful Baghdad were you can view the tremendous progress first hand?
Yes like giving Iraq away to the frigging Ayatollahs LOL thats the way the Yanks combat Radical Islam.
Spin away dude spin away, as if this is what you intended. You never expected the Ayatollahs to take power in Iraq & now you are trying to trim their beards and say they are liberal people. Such a pathetic display of intellectual dishonesty. This invasion has dramatically shifted the balance of power in the region in Iran's favour. O I can't wait for you to spin that.
He repeats stupid lefty shibboleths, without any understanding of underlying factors, and thinks that makes him knowledgeable.
He's simply a dolt. In every facet of anything he's ever said, it shines through.
So what else is new?
Now getting to the actual topic at hand, it was Bush who surrendered to osama by shifting resources away from Afghanistan into what increasingly looks like an unnecessary invasion of Iraq. Of course now that things have gone this far I don't think we can turn back and it has become a neccessity to complete the mission and finish off zarqawi and his murderous gang.
What great Thanksgiving entertainment!
Watching Topf & Laura fight would be better than football.
But in the end, the football game would make more sense, and have more effect on world affairs, than both of them together ever could.
