Strange Times

It seems about once a weeks someone so clearly states the opposition's ignorance of the Iraq war. This week is is Don Surber. He points out the bizarre contradictions in the New York Times's editorial calling for the immediate withdrawal from Iraq. Read the whole thing as every line is as clear as the last - we are at war for our safety and the only coarse is victory (a stable Iraq).

-----------------
The Times argument is the war is unpopular so we should. That is childish. Was the war right because it was popular at the time? Should we execute criminals because that is popular? The Times has too long a history of unpopular things that it supports to make the “applause-o-meter argument.”

War is not a television game show to be cancelled after 4 seasons.

The consequences of suddenly abandoning 25 million people to cutthroats and jihadists would make Darfur, Sudan, look like a weekend in Disney World.
