ROS sends us a link to the Washington Post<\/a>‘s Jennifer Rubin who notices that the Obama Administration backed away from it’s lack of serious defensive posture against North Korea on our West Coast. She (Rubin) says that we (Conservatives) shouldn’t be so quick to say “we told you so” otherwise we’ll be playing into the hands of the Left who says that hawks “convey the impression that they want unending conflict”. Yeah, we’ve had unending conflict, in some form or another, since the end of the Second World War. <\/p>\n

A lot of that conflict was within our own country. Even in 1920, anti-war commie Eugene V. Debs ran for president from a jail cell where he was cached for opposing World War I. In the years leading up to the Second World War, the communists opposed go to war against Germany, well, until the Germans launched Operation Barbarossa against the Soviets – then they were all for it. <\/p>\n

Of course, we all remember the hippies of the 60s and their opposition to the war and more recently the war against terror which even began opposing wars in which we weren’t engaged yet. The VFP, Code Pink and IVAW were protesting a war against Iran back in 2006. I’d submit that we’re more weary of the anti-war profiteers than actual war.<\/p>\n

The anti-war crowd gives hope to every tin-pot dictator that he can defeat the US. Hussein’s whole strategy revolved around waiting until the political pressure at home forced us to leave Iraq, like it had in Somalia. Does North Korea really think that it can successfully beat us in an all-out war? Of course not, they only want us to cave into their ridiculously comical pressure and send Jimmy Carter back with bags of money. <\/p>\n

The first Gulf War ended too quickly for the anti-war crowd to organize and they didn’t take chances before the second invasion of Hussein’s Iraq. They went there to become “human shields” for his critical war-making industries before the first shots. Three Congressmen went to Iraq and stood on Hussein’s palace roof and declared that Hussein was more trustworthy than our own President Bush. they complained that we were rushing to war, even though it took more than a year and Hussein had countless opportunities to stop the “rush”.<\/p>\n

Maybe the American public is more weary of the shrieking harpies in the anti-war Left who only lengthen the wars in which we’re involved by lending comfort and moral support to our enemies. The only reason Iran continues marching forward with their nuclear program is because they know that they have the sympathies of the protesters who will intervene to prevent the Iranians from having to suffer any real consequences. <\/p>\n

The only thing more comical than offering al Qaeda or the Taliban at a negotiating table for peace in Afghanistan is listening to the morons who think those talks will actually work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
