I found your blog via Mangle, the random link generator. The War in Iraq, despite what the media and democrats would lead you to believe, is nearly over and we have won Define "won." Have you read about the US-Iraq Status of Forces Agreement? No Western nation has ever "won" in either Iraq or Afghanistan, and the US will be no exception to that rule. There's a reason the Pentagon had no battle plans for Afghanistan back in '01, and it's this: you don't invade Afghanistan! All we've done in both of those countries is to demonstrate the capability to destroy on a massive scale. The amount of suffering that we have caused in those places over what would have obtained absent our presence is, plainly and simply, beyond words. Between now and the day you die, you either will or will not come to understand that.

Think maybe we had the wrong “focus of effort?”

Straight from the leftard playlist.
The little sheetheads are resurgent because NATO took control of the operations there.
I know…I know, there is no blame Bush in that reality, so the left has to ignore this point.

Well done by my fellow Marine grunts and the aviators who supported them. That’s why they call it a MAGTF.
The questions that have to be asked are how were they ambushed by a force of this size, why are the Taliban resurgent, and why are we still fighting a holding action (at best) in Afghanistan SEVEN years after we “won” the war?
Think maybe we had the wrong “focus of effort?”
Started a diversionary “sideshow” instead of focusing on “the main effort?”
Wonder what my fellow Marine General Jim Jones thinks?

Editor – here you simply amplify Joyner’s point about rehashing the arguments of the 1980s election, all while the rest of the electorate yawns while they pas you by. It’s Example A of why the GOP has been banished to Hatfield and McCoy country for the next 2 generations.

He, she or it, whatever pat is, used a cut and paste from a leftist blog to make some point.

About the Author: James Joyner is the publisher of Outside the Beltway and the managing editor of the Atlantic Council. He’s a former Army officer, Desert Storm vet, and college professor with a PhD in political science from The University of Alabama. He lives just outside the Beltway in Alexandria, Virginia.

See Artie, unlike you and the other jumping beans who comment here, I frequent many blogs and sites that contain opinions I strongly disagree with. How else would I know what you wingntuts were up to? And what’s the point of posting comments in the choir room anyway, does that make you feel more like the big guy you wish you were?

Perhaps you could see a bit more clearly if you weren’t constantly enshrouded by the fog created by you and your fellow wingnuts’methane emissions.
