Most Americans Want to Win
Posted by Dave Blount at February 21, 2007 8:10 AM
Here's some news that will come as a big surprise to liberals — and an unwelcome one to those infesting Congress. A new poll shows that most Americans want to win in Iraq, rather than tucking our tails between our legs and "redeploying" to underneath our beds while we wait for the terrorists to come after us again.
Majorities were sensible enough to conclude that American troops need to stay in Baghdad until the local government can govern, that victory in Iraq is vital to winning the war on terror that began after 9/11, and that Bush should be supported in this effort despite his mistakes.
Only 25% were short-sighted and/or morally depraved enough to agree with the statement, "I don't really care what happens in Iraq after the U.S. leaves, I just want the troops brought home." The Demon-rats are going too far, too fast in trying to force a retreat, according to 53%. More than three times as many want to stay until the job is done as want to surrender immediately.
Even after years of a relentless bombardment of defeatist propaganda from the fifth-columnists who run the media, most of us still have enough character to resist its barrage of demoralizing misinformation.
As the Breck Girl would say, there are two Americas. But they aren't the rich and the poor. They are the America presented by our TV sets and newspapers — a nation of preening, sniveling, self-indulgent cowards — and the America that is either fighting terrorists in Iraq or supporting those who do. The honorable America may not hold the media or Congress, but it still has a majority.
