Murtha's Martyrs
Iraq is indeed becoming another Vietnam.
Every time a myopic politician calls for the United States to cut and run from Iraq, the terrorists are given hope; are encouraged to kill more innocent Iraqis; are enlivened in their belief that the U.S. is a clay-footed giant with no stomach for battle.
Yes, indeed, it is their sacred right to speak their mind. No one should argue otherwise. But do American politicians not know that it is their words that are killing tens of thousands of Iraqis and thousands of Americans?
Iraq is another Vietnam. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.
The United States may indeed lose Iraq. Americans have little historical memory and less patience.
The effect will be catastrophic in the short run. The forces of the death cult will rally; which means more butchery, more killing of innocents, more jihadis in Allah's Waiting Room.
Ultimately it is the boys and girls of age 10 or 11 who will pay. They will become Murtha's martyrs.
