Didn’t watch the speech last night. Read it.
Overall, not bad. He finally admitted that it was a mistake to go in light. Unfortunately, the left doesn’t even want him to call for back-up. Too little, too late to help his approval ratings, not that I think he cares a whole lot about that.
20K probably isn’t going to be enough, I liked 32K better, but it is much better than the alternative the left is demanding; which can be summed up as “Let as many of those five-time-a-day praying brown people die as necessary so that our white soldiers don’t have to be in harms way.”
The Dems will cut funding. Thankfully for right-thinking idividuals, their media play in cutting the cash flow will not amount to the Boland Amendment they think it will be. While they don’t understand it, the American people do: Just as Iraq isn’t Vietnam, neither is it Nicaragua circa 1982. The American people may have certain opinions about the handling of the war, but they realize that there is a significant danger from people who are trying to kill US soldiers. The cutting of funding will bite the Dems in the ass.
Some on the left think he declared war on Iran and Syria last night. They are fools to think we should ‘ask them for help without demands’. Hear no evil, see no evil fools.
One of the hyper-partisan, underwhelmingly funny leftists made up a “visual aid” for Bush ala Ted “LadyKiller” Kennedy
Other folks cannot figure out that just because you self-describe yourself as a “Regan Conservative” doesn’t automatically make you one. Nor can they figure out that Godwin’s Law still applies, even if someone who calls themselves a “Reagan Conservative” compares Bush to Hitler.
That’s that and twat’s twat.
The point I was so pleased to hear was the changing of the Rules of Engagement.
Our people can do the job if they are allowed to do their job.
