There is nothing more inspiring and impressive than seeing conservatives stand up and face down the power, telling it like it is. I am by no means of the political 'right' but I am in awe of those 'right-minded' people who defy the convention of their standard thinking and operate from a moral perspective. GO Margolis, GO Ron Paul!

It's simple math.
US soldiers follow US rules = war is lost, many soldiers die

US soldiers do what is needed to win = winning a war, less American deaths

Citizens control their government = a functional government

Citizens allow officials to misrepresent the people = Non-functional government

US soldiers destroy enemies and leave = great example of why not to disobey the US

US soldiers abused by having to rebuild a country = animosity towards their own country due to the abuse

How were they wrong?
The "surge" wouldnt have worked if Moqtada Al Sadr hadn't called a truce. The iraqis still want the US out on a timeline of 18mths. Areas out of the green zone is still calamitous and rife with killings? How exactly are they wrong?

How? Where? Only insults and suppositions, no proof, no argument. The days when the neo-right could simply shout it's way out of a debate, hurling abuse are long over. Nobodies buying it, we see right thru it.
