Upsurge in Defeatist Rhetoric
I think it is pretty evident that there has been an upsurge of defeatist talk this week. Calls for a deadline for a pull out. Mistreatment of prisoners etc.
What could it mean? I think it tells us two things. First thing it tells us is Red on Red. What does that mean? The "insurgents" are fighting among themselves. This shows they are on the ropes.
So what is the second thing it tells us? It tells us who the agents of influence for the enemy are. Keep your eyes on those who were the most defeatist in the past week. They are not on the side of America or liberty.

Just picked this blog up from the blogfather's link.
I really have enjoyed your comments on Roger Simon and other great blogs. Glad to see you have your own.
I am having trouble identifying with the defeatist attitude. I was five when WWII ended. I had no clue that there were over 115,000 casualties on Iwo Jima and Okinawa suffered, of which over 25,000 were KIA, between February and June, 1945. An average casualty figure of over 900/day and KIA over 200/day.
I never had the impression that anything but Victory was inevitable.
Those having had that experience, are sadly older and in the vast minority. I think this has something to do with the lack of confidence and determination over the long haul, through thick and thin.
That said, I fault the political leadership from the top down for not using all measures at its disposal to counteract this tendency.
I am well aware of the difficulty of such an effort, but look what the SwiftVets were able to do with a small budget and the facts on their side.
The quest for power when one has suddenly become powerless makes people act irrationally.
That is happening now, and is well described by the Apologist
Apologist,
I'm just not all that interested in their intentions. To me, if the results help our enemies, then the defeatists are objectively siding with the enemies.
But I'm willing to listen to an alternative approach. If you can suggest a way that understanding their intentions can help us to eliminate their ddestructive effects, I would love to hear it. Always open to new ideas.
Dick T(D)rbin was apologizing with fake crocodile tears on national TV. The man was a trial lawyer...so the "I chose my words poorly" is just plain crap. Trial lawyers choose their words carefully when adressing the jury.
Basically, the Dems saw some polls and decided to "test" the depth of "anti war" sentiment.
Yep...eveyone in America would like to see our troops coming home soonest possible date. No one more than myself.
Except for a few looneys, the entire country wants our troops to come home victorious.
There are George Galloways among us.
Fellow travelers if not paid agents.
I believe the insurgency is failiing and the fellow travelers have been instructed to try and pull a political victory from the jaws of a military defeat.
I find it interesting that there have been an increased volume of complaints about how the war is being won just as we are getting close to victory.
I don't think it is an accident.
BTW the FBI report is at least several months old. It is a report on events of up to three years ago.
So why make a fuss now?
Whether this is all a spontaneous happening due to impending loss of power or due to whispers from our enemies I leave it to you to decide in each individual case.
We do have Reps. taking Islamic fascist money. I'd bet some Senators do as well.
What are the odds?
