VoteVets today and yesterday
Here’s a video posted in February 2007, in which Jon Soltz (the Michael Scott of veteran affairs) tells the press that there’s a “100% chance that the escalation [the Surge] won’t work”.
This weekend, VetsVoice‘s Eyes Only brags about the conditions in Iraq;
And, perhaps the greatest thing to happen on Election Day in Iraq was that NO US Forces were hurt, or needed, or called out for anything. The Iraqis were able to do what they needed to do. And now, it is our turn to do what we need to do, which is prepare to close this out, return with honor, and continue on.
And yet VoteVets thinks they’re a relevant voice in the public discourse over the war against terrorists. It seems to me that the surge was a 95% success and not the 100% failure that Soltz predicted…and that’s if I only use Eyes Only, Soltz’ own blogger, as my source.
That’s probably why they’ve limited themselves to completely idiot issues like Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell and the Cap and Trade bill. Soltz’ three months in Kuwait didn’t equip him for military prognostication.

…what’s this “surge” thingy you speak of Lilyea?
Remind me, where does VoteVets stand on Af/Pak again? Since they are home to America’s 21st century patriots, you know the ones that served in Iraq and Afghanistan. You know the war “we took our eye off the ball for”? Maybe the motorpool queen can clarify.
Jonn your being tough on Soltz, one doesn’t have to be consistant to be an ass.
Hey Cedo…
Stoltz is an ass, and so are you. Consistantcy plied with facts doesn’t make Jonn an ass. It shows that he understands reality better than the likes of you people.
That surge thingy worked-Just in case you missed that.
“That surge thingy worked-just in case you missed that.” Um yeah I know. I was agreeing with JONN Lilyea, not JON Soltz. Dumbass.
