Can you do that with bullshit?
That war was lost the moment it was started for no good reason and with no
exit strategy.
So was this one. At least George Snr. knew when to get out.
(sci.electronics.components dropped)
This war isn't lost, even now. Not by a long shot. The enemy is
but few--he claims 20k, but cut that in half or less. Nor is he
militarily effective. We dominate the country. He snipes and takes
potshots at our troops, but accomplishes little. For each soldier we
lose, he loses many, from his few. He can't afford it. Nor has he
popular support--the support of the people--for they are his quarry,
his prey.
But to win you have to present a single, unified, determined front
to your enemy, which the Democrats prevent, indeed, actively subvert.
Uniting, the press has to report successes, not just costs (they
always report the US's total losses; where's the enemy-tally?). But
then the press has a viewpoint to promote, and is eager to see the
President humiliated on any account, which is reason enough to oppose
him, regardless of the endeavor.
And so, back to the costs of Liberalism (capital "L", meaning
"people who proclaim themselves liberals, but aren't"), I add the cost
of the war.
So, you asked when Liberals last cost society a billion dollars, and
I've listed a number of their real-world trillion-dollar money-sinks,
massively mis-managed, producing little of the intended benefit.
To that list we could add the Homeland pseudo-Security nonsense.
That's my gripe, that's the harm wrought by well-intentioned actions
not well thought out.
Best,
James Arthur
