MoveOn.org must really hate their country. I was reading the RCP Blog when I saw this video. I'm amazed, is this supposed to be effective?
There are US troops in Germany, yes? They've been there for about 60 years (ever since that conflict back in the 40s, right?), so if Iraq stablises completely and something that helps maintain that is the presence of US (or indeed UN) forces, is that such a bad thing?
This '100 years in Iraq' thing is a pretty flimsy point for MoveOn to latch on to. Maybe it was the right sort of thing to say back in 2006, but this is 2008 and things have changed.
Blake Dvorak makes a good point (and one that is probably shared with a lot of people irrespective of political orientation):
I have an eleven month old baby boy, too, as well as a nine year old boy and a five year old girl. If upon turning eighteen and becoming adults, any of them decided they wanted to serve our country by joining the Armed Forces, I would have nothing but pride and respect for their decision - as I have for every young man and young woman who makes that personal choice. Unfortunately, Moveon.org and other members of the far left don't share the same pride for those who choose to serve America in uniform.
