Of course, failure, after trillions spent, hundreds of thousands dead, on the verge of bankruptcy, and rights trampled on, wholesale.

But is there any talk of pulling back and rethinking the whole thing?

Of course not...



Newt Gingrich: We Are Losing The War On Terror

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, a potential challenger to President Obama in 2012, took some decidedly outside-the-GOP-mainstream positions during a often scrappy debate with former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean Tuesday night. The architect of the 1994 Contract With America voiced his support for a pathway to legal status for some illegal immigrants, praised the way things are done in a Western European democracy -- and said that, after 10 long years, the United States is losing the War on Terror.

"Any honest assessment on 9/11 this year, ten years after the attacks, I think will have to conclude we are slowly losing the war," Gingrich said. "We are losing the war because madrasas are out there teaching hatred, we're losing the war because the network of terror is bigger, not smaller... We're losing the war because there's a real possibility that in a few weeks, unfortunately, Egypt will join Iran and join Lebanon and join Gaza and join the things that are happening that are extraordinarily dangerous."

I do not think that is correct . The actual nimber of people who would detonate bombs to kill innocents with is probably a very small and stable number . They may be more disbursed than ever before because of the modern world .

Any war the US starts is not meant to be Won, but Maintained, and Financed at a very high cost to all of us.

The Far Left and the Far Right want to steal your money for THEIR crusades.

Inciting Fear and the "SAFETY" BS is one of the oldest tricks in the book for aristocrats and political charlatans in stealing from the taxpayers.

Tell "NEWT and NEOCONS"... this tune isn't going to work with the people anymore.

We need to re-double our efforts, spend 2 trillion a year, institute the draft, suspend the constitution, give the TSA free rein, and search all cars everywhere and anywhere, arrest anyone speaking out against 'the war', close down the internet and political sites, except to commerce, ...anything else?...

Appreciate the concern, but it's not as bad as it might appear.

Weak on illegal immigration. Strong on "terrorism ". Praising European socialist governments...
