Recently, I have noticed a few Diehards Flipping Over to the "This is gonna be a Long, tough, brutal fight" rational as it relates to Iraq----and the Central Front of the War on Terror. Despite the fact we did not go into Iraq because we intended to turn it into fly-paper, making Iraq the Central Front, the Ends Justifying the Means apologists have come full circle and are now using the reasons WHY those against the War from the start did not want to go to war in Iraq, as their excuse for why went there in the first place. Seriously, "Mission Accomplished" and "End of Major Combat Operations" never happened. Personally, I would be amused if it were not so tragic-----the consequences of a Nation's People having short term memory loss I mean.
American Forces officially entered Iraq on March 19th, 2003-----according to the plan, how many American troops were suppose to be left in Iraq by December of 2003? Come on Diehards, GW and Rummyhead are your guys, what was the original plan for number of troops in December of 2003? How about the Summer of 2004? How many troops did they project for being in Country in the Summer of 2004? To say NOW, that Georgie and his crew informed us long ago that this was going to be a long fight, is revisionist at best, and outright lying to ones self at the worst.
You see, had they actually planned for an Insurgency or the Foreign Terrorists, they would have never had the Mission Accomplished Ceremony on the U.S.S. Lincoln, they would not have declared an end to major combat, and they would not have projected such a small number of troops being needed a year after we invade, oh yeah, how did their troop withdrawal plan work out by the way? Don't worry, there is gonna be another 30,000 troops coming home soon, as long as the situation on the ground allows for it (GW/Rummyhead Disclaimer).
The good ole disclaimer----always slipped in at the end after you just have been told what you want to hear. And that disclaimer gets you out of trouble later when everything hits the fan. They have pulled this crap with troop reductions so many times I cannot count. I can understand why the Diehard doesn't want to remember the past, but what about the rest of us?
Yes, the Diehard has a knack of forgetting what they said in the past, especially if it contradicts an opinion or theory they used for an argument or debate previosly----to do that would mean to admit error. One thing the Diehards and GW have in common? They are NEVER wrong. However, why do the rest of us forget the old spin? Why doesn't the Media call this Administration on the true incompetent nature of their stewardship?
Just like his Father, GW is a Crisis Manager-----something going wrong, create a Crisis. Move from one Crisis to another in order to not ever having to address inconsistencies and errors from the past. "We could have never imagined" can no longer be used as an excuse----because as we all know now, many did imagine and predict exactly what is going on in Iraq, and they were either fired from leadership positions or demonized as terrorist collaborators for having an opinion that differed from the Chicken Hawks and the Diehards. Don't let them revise their rational----call them on their selective memory and their absurd and ridiculous claims. No one else is going to.
