Re: John McCain: What Went Wrong?
After listening to Air America Radio (yes, I listen to it and to Rush Limbaugh to see what extremists on the left and right think), I'm starting to think that many Americans actually want to see "the surge" fail. Basically, Air America was predicting before the surge took place that it would fail and now is seemingly enjoying news of bombing attacks and suicide bombers killing people.
It seems like the right refuses to believe that Iraq is in very bad place, and the left refuses to believe that things in Iraq could improve with better leadership (e.g., Gen. Petraeus) and more resources (i.e., the surge). After years of rightfully complaining that our troops were woefully underequipped and undermanned, I don't see how those very same people can attack the notion of providing our forces with additional equipment and troops. BTW, an interesting report from the "established" media seems to indicate that the surge may be working. YouTube - The Surge Is Working Rant over |
