« Soldier Who Challenged Murtha Shows Up In Politpundit's Comments Section |

Murtha "Worries" That Bush's Strategy Will Be Perceived As Victory"A year ago, I said we can't win this militarily, and I got all kinds of criticism." Now, Murtha told the strongly antiwar audience, "I worry about a slow withdrawal which makes it look like there's a victory when I think it should be a redeployment as quickly as possible and let the Iraqis handle the whole thing." If Murtha's concern is for the troops and America, why should he be worried that a slow drawdown will be perceived as a victory? Isn't a good thing that America perceives itself as victorious? Given the choice between an immediate withdrawal perceived as defeat, and a slow withdrawal perceived as victory, who would favor the former? Well, he would, obviously. Because he's the one who suggested doing that. And he claimed the war could not be won-- he can hardly have Bush seen as winning now that he's staked his reputation (such as it is) on the impossibility of such. He only seems to care about his personal victory-- he needs a clear defeat and acknowlegement of such in order to vindicate himself, no matter how such a thing might encourage terrorists and sap America's confidence in its ability to fight necessary wars. I've said it before, I'll say it again: they are desperate to lose this war as quickly as possible because it appears that we just might win. They know they cannot survive the political consequences of an American victory of which they were most assuredly not a part. Remember-- this is the guy who said he wouldn't have taken the enormous step of calling for a full withdrawal if Bush's people had only kissed his ass a little more on the phone. What a hero. Meanwhile, via Allah, TKS finds a fairly large lefty blogger making this statement about Zawahiri's "Bush has lost" claim: I have to admit it is fun to see Al Qaeda play Bush like a violin. Al Qaeda is "fun" as long as it can serve as an embarrassment for Bush. But don't question their patriotism. Oh, no. Don't you dare do that.

CommentsThe Clips on Michelles site are friggen awesome, you can hear how terrified everyone is to actually respond. Moran just plain ignoring the Sgt's question "that wasn't in the form of a question" so I guess the inferred "why" in the soldiers statement can be ignored. . .well, good for you Moran, but I didn't ignore your inferred "Go Fuck yourself, you jackbooted thug" that followed his "over here" And the General's statement? took him what? 45 seconds to even complete a sentence? Left wing cowardly fucks. I guess heroism is only important when it applies to ones self. Fuck all of the people who do the same, or more, they aren't as important as Murtha, or Kerry.

I meant Morans response to the Generals statement that is. Posted by: Wickedpinto on January 7, 2006 12:54 PM
I guess it's fun to see American soldiers blown up by IED's too if it'll hurt President Bush. I guess it was fun seeing 757's slam into the WTC too. One of these days, liberals are going to wake up in the real world and be really scared to death when singing peace songs and saying let's talk won't work and Mr. Jihadist just blows them up at their favorite Starbucks, mall or protest gathering. I can't wait to say I told you so. Posted by: LCDR MacKay on January 7, 2006 01:48 PM
Funny, seems like the violin's military has been pretty decisively destroying the violin player's "army" whenever the two get together to play. Posted by: Sharkman on January 7, 2006 01:51 PM
[Sorry, sort of off-topic but didn't know where else to put it: Ace (or anyone else), any interest in this?: http://www.exile.ru/2005-December-28/are_we_wrong_about_bush.html Inviting submissions for a paid (I presume) column defending Bush in a left-wing magazine and website. Their style is gonzo but well-written and they're funny and smart. Matt Taibbi of Rolling Stone and the New York Press, whose takedown of Thomas Friedman you linked to a while back, is one of their alumni, and various of their other writers have ended up with book contracts. They're looking for spleen and good writing, and they're the sort of leftists who hate their fellow leftists and the MSM almost as much as you do, so I thought there could be a match.] Posted by: Si on January 7, 2006 01:58 PM
Thanks, Si. I'll check that out. I'm sure others will too. Posted by: ace on January 7, 2006 02:04 PM

I have to admit it is fun to see Al Qaeda play Bush like a violin. And I have to admit it is revolting to see Al Qaeda's U.S. constituency dancing to this imagined violin concerto. Not that I'm questioning their patriotism. Only their timing. Cordially... Posted by: Rick on January 7, 2006 02:36 PM
I gues a better way of putting it would be "it's depressing as hell to see Bush get played like a violin by a bunch of backwards islamofascists. Shouldn't we be smarter than them?" Is that better? Posted by: Tom in Texas on January 7, 2006 03:10 PM
Tom in Texas His 'amusing' and your 'depressing as hell' are synonyms? "It was really amusing to see my aunt die slowly of cancer." "It was really depressing as hell to see my aunt die slowly of cancer." Hmm. Oh I see. You mean he was using 'amusing' ironically to mean 'not amusing'? Well, in that case it's amusing to see someone defend what is either bad or offensive writing with an 'irony' defense. (I mean 'amusing' in the sense of 'not amusing,' of course.)

No matter how smoothly the handover of security operations to Iraqi forces proceeds, the Left will paint it as a despondent withdraw from a failed war a la Vietnamization. Posted by: John on January 7, 2006 04:29 PM
But don't question their patriotism. Oh, no. Don't you dare do that. Posted by: pendelton on January 7, 2006 05:35 PM
I have to admit it is fun to see Al Qaeda play Bush like a violin. Since someone begged him for his valuable opinion, after all. Begged and pleaded. Posted by: on January 9, 2006 02:54 PM

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this. He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again. You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.
People say that the bearded man in the video of Fartwell molesting a hooker looks like Democrat Arizona Senator Rueben Gallego, said to be Swalwell's "best friend" and known to take vacations with him.
@KFILE 21m So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations. That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite thanks to weft-cut loop.

I wouldn't click on it, it's not interesting, it's just stupid clickslop. I just want to share my annoyance with you.
Oil prices plunge on bizarre realization that Eric Swalwell may actually be straight. A rapey molester, allegedly, but a straight one.
