John Warner's Christmas present

Posted By Uncle Jimbo

Oh boy troops guess what? Sen. John Warner has a  present for you. He wants us to bring some of you home by Christmas, YEA! Not all of you, and not for any real reason, just to, ya' know, send a message.

Well it would be a message of foolish weakness Senator. What is wrong with you? You are usually a minor bastion of reasonable, sober thought. And now we get this bit of bush league (heh) political fluff. Did you have a Schumer-like need for cameras and lights? Now listen up Senator and the rest of you pack of shabby mongrels all sprawled on the porch of the Capitol blissfully clueless, but chock full of great ideas and cunning plans. Well let me remind you clowns of something, if you wanna play Army then join up or run for President. Because you bastiges do not have a role in war-fighting beyond paying for the damn bullets. And once you vote to have a war, you don't get a vote on what we shoot with them either.

When I voted for W in 2004 I did so happy in the knowledge that he would be Commander in Chief until Jan. 2009. I had hoped it would not take his entire second term to reach stability in Iraq, but it has. Unlike the left I don't look at that situation and declare "We're doomed Christopher Robin". We have not really even challenged ourselves as a country in this fight. Although every life lost and every wound is taken with the utmost gravity, it still shows a scary lack of will that we may be thwarted and actually defeated by the losses we have incurred.

Time after time our enemies have known that the way to defeat America is at home. You cannot take her by force of arms, but you can sap the will to fight. The media provides a knowing and helpful ally in this as they ensure that death and destruction dominate our news. The Vietnamese leaders have said explicitly, as did their Chinese and Soviet handlers, that their strategy was to defeat us at home via the media. Worked out  pretty well for them. They went all in with Tet, got their asses handed to them and lost virtually all their combat capability. Great victory for us right? Ha, nope turns out the narrative says that this was a tremendous win for the North and the Viet Cong. The narrative won, Congress cut off funding, helicopters on the Embassy roof.

Well they are trying the exact same shite again. They wanted their Vitetnam metaphors, well OK! Except I'll raise your quagmire with a combined US/Sunni/Shia defeat of Al Qaeda in what they have claimed is the central front of the global jihad. Don't be shy push your chips all in for cut and run and defeat. I think I know which the public will choose given the real stories. And we can overcome your propaganda, you don't own the information war any more.  Yeah that is the real defeat.
