Crazy Liberals...

We all know that it's only crazy liberals who speak out against this administration and the "war on terror" in Iraq (and thus, help the terrorists and personally hurt our troops), so I'm always amazed when I still find more liberals speaking out against what's going on. I've compiled a list of some of the most recent crazy liberals for those of you who don't have the time to find them yourself:
First, Military-hating liberal Lt. General Gregory Newbold (retired) who said this:
In 1971, the rock group The Who released the antiwar anthem Won't Get Fooled Again. To most in my generation, the song conveyed a sense of betrayal by the nation's leaders, who had led our country into a costly and unnecessary war in Vietnam. To those of us who were truly counterculture--who became career members of the military during those rough times--the song conveyed a very different message. To us, its lyrics evoked a feeling that we must never again stand by quietly while those ignorant of and casual about war lead us into another one and then mismanage the conduct of it. Never again, we thought, would our military's senior leaders remain silent as American troops were marched off to an ill-considered engagement. It's 35 years later, and the judgment is in: the Who had it wrong. We have been fooled again.

With the encouragement of some still in positions of military leadership, I offer a challenge to those still in uniform: a leader's responsibility is to give voice to those who can't--or don't have the opportunity to--speak. Enlisted members of the armed forces swear their oath to those appointed over them; an officer swears an oath not to a person but to the Constitution. The distinction is important.

I will admit my own prejudice: my deep affection and respect are for those who volunteer to serve our nation and therefore shoulder, in those thin ranks, the nation's most sacred obligation of citizenship. To those of you who don't know, our country has never been served by a more competent and professional military. For that reason, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's recent statement that "we" made the "right strategic decisions" but made thousands of "tactical errors" is an outrage. It reflects an effort to obscure gross errors in strategy by shifting the blame for failure to those who have been resolute in fighting. The truth is, our forces are successful in spite of the strategic guidance they receive, not because of it.

I think we can all agree he's a liberal nutcase. So who else is speaking out? Which other "America Haters?"

How about this guy, Newt Gingrich:
"It was an enormous mistake for us to try to occupy that country after June of 2003. We have to pull back, and we have to recognize it."

obviously, Newt Gingrich hates America...probably God too...and it goes without saying that Powell would jump on the anti-America bandwagon...doesn't he have drinks with Jane Fonda now? Well, what does he have to say?
"We made some serious mistakes in the immediate aftermath of the fall of Baghdad, we didn't have enough troops on the ground. We, didn't impose our will. And as a result, an insurgency got started, and ... it got out of control."


OK, enough of my joking...but seriously. This shit is spiraling out of control and there doesn't seem to be an end in sight. In fact, there is talk about "tac nukes" in Iran? WTF? You screw up one country bad enough you start talking about nuking another country...that's more chaotic? Good call...I'm so pissed about this shit right now it's not even funny.
