Pundit Review Radio has Michael Yon from Baqubah

Posted By Uncle Jimbo

Last night the Pundit Review fellas had Bruce McQuain from Qand O on and also Michael Yon from in-country. They discussed the atrocity he reported on last week, , morale of the troops and the war in general, oh yeah and they also discuss our ret. FSO Kiki Munshi. Highlights and audio of the segments here.

Grim has brought up a new meme in the media, the nutroots and also our Democrat Congress. I will call it the surge against the surge. They are rightly afraid that this crazy plan just might work and are scrambling like mad to defeat it before it bears fruit. This is disgraceful, but not unexpected. We knew AQ would ramp up to try to influence US public opinion, their allies here are just helping with the information war.

This means we must match their renewed efforts.

Hmmm, we've seen politics played in war before. This is certainly nothing new. However, can we not learn from history. Can we not learn that while we can win wars, our populace has no will to fight them to the end? How can a nation lose every major battle by vast margins and lose a war. In Vietnam we ceded to Giap and nationalism. But what do we give ground to here? Not only are we losing a strategically valuable region, we are losing face to those who are bent on re-establishing a Caliphate and murdering those in their way.

Stephen van Evera, is, in part, correct. War in a third world nation, even in victory, can never bring increased power to a hedgemon. It can only serve to weaken the power by draining its resources.

Hasn't the left realized Iraq is the largest peacekeeping operation the United States has ever become involved in? Perhaps after this war, and Somalia, they'll stop bothering us with such nonsenses that get us involved in battles they are too politically timid to fight.

Above, I meant "win every major battle"
