Thousands of U.S soldiers dead. Hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties of war....and all Sarah wants to know is who history will credit for the surge. Her question should be how long will it take George W. to receive his just reward for authorizing this bloodbath that has accomplished nothing.
I'm just as patriotic as the next American. When radical Islamists flew commercial airplanes loaded with passengers and jet fuel into buildings I was enraged, shocked, and afraid. As George W. grinned and made his monumental speech in the midst of the rubble and debris, I remember him saying the terrorists responsible would be hearing from us very s-o-o-n.
The war cry had begun - engagement with the enemy was inevitable. Al-Qaeda (based in Afghanistan at the time) better pull up their boot straps. The mighty powerful, elite fighting machine known as the United States Military was on it's way to kick their asses.
And where did George W. send our armed forces?
To Iraq!
A war, launched under false pretenses and with much of the rest of the world's disapproval, now seems to be coming to a close (theoretically, anyway) and the wing nuts are upset over who gets credit for the surge!
The same person that's responsible for every soldier's death, physical disability and pyschological anguish they'll endure for years to come, if not the rest of their lives, as a result of this oil/economic war on terror.
Sarah and her school girl Twitter/Facebook rants keep the conservative doll popular with her base but reveal to many just how long her 15 minutes have actually been up.
Perhaps there is a bit of irony in her tweet. George Orwell was one of the greatest writers the world has ever known. It's hard to believe she'd enlist the help of a socialist to help decipher rewritten history - whatever the hell that means.
Ah, again I give her too much credit. She probably hasn't read him either.
