What it will take to end war - The Boston Globe

7:25AM and already my head is ready to explode!! THIS TIME, CAN WE ACCEPT DEFEAT??? THIS TIME, CAN WE ACCEPT DEFEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Has James Carroll lost his fricking mind???

Can we admit that the loss of honor will not come with how the war ends, because we lost our honor when we began it? This time, can we accept defeat?

This article explains the reason Democrats can not be allowed to take back control of our national security. They have absolutly no concept of the battle we are in, none what so ever.

Just what would a Democratic Congress mean?

Just what would a Democratic Congress Mean?? By Robert J. Caldwell

Voters seemingly poised to hand control of the House of Representatives and perhaps the Senate to Democrats should be thinking hard about the consequences on an array of defining issues. The most reliable guide to those consequences is not what Democrats are saying on the campaign stump – or mostly not saying, witness the suddenly missing Nancy Pelosi – but how they have actually voted in Congress again and again on core issues.

The Only Issue This Election Day

The Only Issue This Election Day - The Ornery American

There is only one issue in this election that will matter five or ten years from now, and that's the War on Terror.

And the success of the War on Terror now teeters on the fulcrum of this election.

If control of the House passes into Democratic hands, there are enough withdraw-on-a-timetable Democrats in positions of prominence that it will not only seem to be a victory for our enemies, it will be one.

One of the clearest position articles I have read defining what is at stake in this election.

“There has never been an American army as violent and murderous as the one in Iraq”

“There has never been an American army as violent and murderous as the one in Iraq” By Martin Lukacs The McGill Daily

If Americans knew the full extent of U.S. criminal conduct, they would receive returning Iraqi veterans as they did Vietnam veterans, Hersh said.
"“In Vietnam, our soldiers came back and they were reviled as baby killers, in shame and humiliation,"” he said. "“It isn't happening now, but I will tell you -– there has never been an [American] army as violent and murderous as our army has been in Iraq."”

And so it begins formally, the tearing down of the US military. The circle for the press is complete, from Vietnam to Iraq. So predictable and so sad.
