Beinert is a pantywaist chickenhawk, send others to die Democrat who wouldn't
know what the military needs to do in Iraq if Senator-elect Webb walked
up to him and let him have it mano e punk.
The nerve of this ignorant, pontificating gasbag.
It may be too late for the United States to provide the security required
for those bonds of civility to return to Iraq. But we should, at least, have
the decency to acknowledge that it was Americans (not Iraqis) who bore the
responsibility under international law to provide security after Americans
(not Iraqis) overthrew Saddam. It was we who failed and then handed Iraqi
politicians the poisoned chalice of a government that did not sit atop a state.
To be sure, Iraq's elected leaders are an uninspiring bunch. But the state
fell, the army was disbanded, chaos reigned, the insurgency began, reconstruction
faltered, and the die was cast in 2003– before Iraqis first went to the polls.When Donald Rumsfeld said, as looters ransacked Baghdad while U.S. troops
watched, that “freedom's untidy,” Democrats rightly denounced his
comments as an abdication and a disgrace. Now, more than three years later,
it is just as disgraceful for Barbara Boxer to echo them. If we need to leave;
we need to leave. But let's not pretend the defeat is anyone else's but our
own.TRB FROM WASHINGTON
We
Broke It
I'd like Webb and Congressman-elect Sestak and all the rest of the fighting
Democrats to walk into Pete's office and hang him upside-down outside of his
corporate window to see how he likes being hung out to dry.
And the next time a supposed Democrat talks about Iraq being OUR mistake, the entire
progressive blogosphere needs to unload on the hapless ass. I've had enough
of these supposed “hawks” who have no clue what the word means. See
James Webb, or look into the eyes of our military men and women who are now
being handed another load of crap from the Iraq Study Group, the Pentagon and
whatever other face saving organization with a piece of paper and a plan; all
of whom have been charged with one mission: saving President Pathetic.
Get lost, Peter, and take the rest of the cowardly, change course, without actually changing course, crowd with you when you leave.
