What Karl doesn't seem to "Get"

In his beating of the GOP drums about how Democrats are unwilling to stick it out in the tough fight in Iraq, Rove avoids the elephant AGAIN. While he was talking up his talking points the pentagon was doing what? Talking about not sending about 5,000 reinforcements scheduled to go to Iraq. Sounds sort of like a withdrawl. Of course they do not say that. They only say that the troops heading out will not be replaced. Rove is like the mayor of Amity trying to convince the people to leave the beaches open while the shark gulps people down whole. His snake oil isn't working too good regarding this stinking turd.

This is not World War II, American freedom is NOT on the line, there is no massive industrialized powers waging war and killing tens of millions of people. The only power that seems to be even close to doing that is us. It is a false argument that Rove is making. Bush and Rove are far closer to Hitler and Himmler than Roosevelt and Churchill. Roosevelt and Churchill did not seek out a premptive war on Hitler. Hitler launched a preemptive war on them. 911 was a conspiracy and attack perpetrated by jihadists in this country and nominally sanctioned by Bin Laden. Iraq has done NOTHING but make matters worse for us. Like the bombing of Pearl Harbor or the insane invasion of Russia the invasion of Iraq was a very bad move.

Our soldiers are only dying, killing, murdering, getting wounded, and sweating in Iraq for the sake of our pride and because Rove et al have NO CLUE how to get out of this giant mess and still look good. And that is a rotten reason to keep our troops there. This is not the Battle of the Bulge, or Okinawa. Our response to 911 has been to marginalize our power, give aid enormous propaganda victories to our enemies, and destabilize and already unstable region of the world. This is a mess started by GW Bush and company. There was no ligitimate reason to invade Iraq. All the reasons I supported this war turned out to be BS. And now we are suffering the consequences. So for prides sake we are butchering our soldiery so we can go to bed and be proud to be Americans. What a load of crap. The cowards are the ones who keep our men and women in harms way while they fiddle.

At least Murtha has the guts to tell it like it is.
