THE DEMOCRAT DESERTERS FROM THE WAR AND THEIR REPUBLICAN AUXILIARIES

The Democrats and the Chuck Hagels of the Republicans in this clash between civilization and barbarism that is fought presently in Iraq will go down in history as turncoats to their historical responsibilities to the nation, at a time when America is at war. They have chosen to become populist leaders for their selfish short term political interests at the expense of the vital long term interests of the US. And, indeed, of Western civilization, as America being the sole superpower is the custodian and the only effective protector of this civilization from the suicidal sallies of fanatic Islam.

The Senate “dissidents” of the war instead of leading from the front are leading from the “tail’, pushed by the whimsical wind of populism. For this reason, they are totally effete and inadequate to lead their country in these dangerous times.

Wars are not won by coruscating Obama eloquence nor by "micro-politicians" embedded in committees set up by Congress nor by spineless and populist resolutions of the latter, but by the relentless deeds and great sacrifices of the troops on the field of battle. General Petraeus must be given the chance to defeat the insurgents in Iraq and save the latter from becoming a theocratic regime that will threaten the Middle East, the Horn of Africa, and beyond, as well as keep intact, and imprint upon the world, the status of the USA as a great benign power. In this test of will, to be or not to be, the USA must not fail.
