Course Schmorse. We should be demanding victory. Period. That a fellow like Iman Sadr still draws breath speaks volumes. That no insurgents/rebels/terrorists have been indicted for war crimes (firing while shielded by innocent civilians, firing from religious structures, murdering POWs, etc) speaks volumes. That the President remained silent on Iraq and just about everything else for a year and a half into his second term speaks volumes. Get hard in Iraq. If we must, go into Iran and get it over with quickly. Mobilise if we have to, but do so as FDR did with the conviction, communications, oratory, and ENFORCEMENT of espionage acts (ie NY Times) as FDR AND TR. Not only do not be afraid to engage the Left, but crush them with their own words and actions, again as TR did ("All slackers are traitors"..."There is no room in this country for 50% Americans"......"The Hun within our gates"....) before us. paul hi…
