This morning General Petraeus testified before Congress. Also this morning, the New York Times (or "Toilet Paper," as I like to call it) ran a full page ad saying something to the effect that "Petraeus betrayed us." Clever rhyming aside, what the hell is wrong with the people on the left in this country. Petraeous gave a more or less cautiously optimistic appraisal of Iraq which pissed off many far-left liberals in this country. Truth be told, many (not all) on the left do not WANT the US to succeed in Iraq. Besides being socially and patriotically irresponsible, this is a blatantly stupid attitude.
Tomorrow is the 6th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11th. Say what you will about links from Saddam to 9/11, but the fact is that people must wake up and realize that yes, events happening 10,000 miles from home do have a serious effect on America. The world is safer now that Saddam is not in power, and the world will be safer if we pull out the "W" in Iraq. I certainly do not agree with the Bush administration on many of the facets of the war. But I am glad we went, and I want us to win. I can see your point if you disagree with the way the administration sold the war. I can respect you if you think going to war was a bad idea, though again I would definitely say that the world is safer with Saddam dead. But if you want America to lose, your a disgrace to this country.
I agree with several liberal ideas, and though as a whole I would definitely call myself conservative I hate some Republican stances. But some on the left (mostly what Bill O'Reilly would call "the far left") in this country are hurting this country, and it needs to end.
If you do not want to see me again, I would understand.
Perhaps I'm just the angry boy, a bit too insane.
