The liberal anti-american mainstream press is in a dizzy over comments from our VP that contridict the lies we hear from CBS, ABC, MSNBC etc. Cheney is right. In comparsion to other wars of similar size and duration, the # of casualties is remarkably low and the "jihadists" and terrorist militias are a long way from achieving anything close to a victory.
The Democrats and the mainstream Press who had declared defeat in Iraq almost as soon as the operation began have worked themselves into such a Defeatist frenzy the past few years that they are incapable of seeing the successes or the slow march to victory that we and the new Iraqi government are achieving. Every day the new Iraq government stays in power, it gets stronger.
Every day, the terrorists fail to ignite an all out civil war, they lose more ground.
The anti-war, anti Bush Left seems to think that the # of casualties is proof that we are losing or have lost. That is simply not true.
It is proof only that we are fighting in support of the free and democratic Iraq against the forces of tyranny. Anbd ourt enemies are fighting just as hard. They know how important it is for them to keep democracy out of Iraq. How important it is for them to make Iraq a trerrorist stronghold free to plot, plan and dfevelop weapons to be used against the west. Too bad the democrats are to stupid to understand that Iraq is the frontline in the "war on terror"
Strangely enough, the dems and most of the people here on retort support the terrorist forces of tyranny and would like to see them win in Iraq.
I wonder how the defeaticrats here would have commented on the Civil War, WW1 or WW2 when the fighting was at its most intense. I imagine, if they were true to form, most would have called for "cutting and running' the moment the fighting began.
