I find it incredibly amusing that liberals have the audacity to call anyone who doesn't agree with their left-wing agenda stupid. This was done by the singer in my band today actually, who called republicans "trigger happy idiots who don't know shit about anything". That one is a story for another entry though...it seems I may have to begin searching for a new band. Anyway, in an editorial in the NY Times, Paul Krugman is insisting that the best strategy for Iraq is a timetable for troop withdrawal. How stupid do you have to be to think that this will actually work? I thought liberals were suppposed to be the intellectual, ivy-league educated members of our population. Yet they seem to lack any form of common sense at all. Wars are not fought on a schedule. What could possibly make anybody think that it's a good idea to say to the enemy "We'll continue to fight you for another 6 months or a year, but if you don't give up by then we're going home."? Come on, seriously, how many people out there honestly believe that this is the smart thing to do? Mr Krugman also claims that Iraq was never any threat to the United States. They had virtually no ties to Al-Qaeda, and no hostility towards America. Where was Mr Krugman when my unit found Al-Qaeda manuals in houses and military barracks across Baghdad, Kirkuk, Tikrit, Balad and Samarra? Where was he when we found paintings of Bin Laden or the twin towers burning to the ground inside schools and palaces across the country? He was sitting inside his safe, air-conditioned office at the NY Times dreaming up more ways to destroy support for the military while we prevented terrorists from flying a plane up his ass. Many liberals would argue that support for Al-Qaeda and anti-American sentiment is present in Iraq now, but wasn't before the invasion. Keep in mind that all the evidence I just described of Iraq's terrorism links was in March 2003, about 2 weeks after we first crossed the border. Unless everything popped up within days of us crossing the Kuwait-Iraq border, it was all there to begin with. I truly hope that Americans can see through all the left-wing bullshit the media attempts to cram down our throats on a daily basis. Granted, Mr Krugers column is an editorial, but he should still base what he writes on fact. It seems to me that this man doesn't bother to look into the reality of what is going on in the world, and just writes whatever he thinks will make Bush and our military sound like a bunch of idiots. Imagine what a world it would be if American journalists bothered to research what they reported on. What if Newsweek and the NY Times and CBS actually read the Geneva Conventions? What if Mr Kruger paid a visit to Iraq or Guantanamo Bay? Just imagine the possibilities of a mainstream media that based its reporting on reality rather than a liberal agenda. 'Tis a nice fantasy, no? Oh well, never gonna happen. .....Mr Kruger's editorial mentioned in this entry can be found at http://nytimes.com/2005/07/01/opinion/01krugman.html
