So we’re imperialists, huh?

After reading that Sadr-mites are staying out of the government to protest Maliki’s meeting with President Bush all I have to say is; Huh? Granted, it’s only about 30 Sadr-mites out of a 275-member legislature (a little over 10%) but still you have to wonder what is up with these goofballs. Now, as I understand it, these guys are all Shi’ites – the same group that Hussein pulverized for the last decade of his rule. And now they’re calling President Bush an imperialist occupier? You’d think they’d be a little bit grateful, wouldn’t you?

Of course they’re just pulling the same stunts they learned from the Democrats. If things don’t go your way, just go pout somewhere.

Seems to me that it’s time to end Sadr’s connection to the future of Iraq and it’s time to start using a little more than just words to end Iran’s connection to Iraq’s Shi’ites. Combined with this month’s election results and overtures to Iran and Syria for “talks” they think they’ve got the upper hand. We appear weak and uncommitted to democracy in Iraq.

It’s time to get a little hand ourselves. 

And now I see that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, writes us a letter and  accused our government of “coercion, force and injustice”. Then the little twerp, in a fit of hypocrisy says “Governments are there to serve their own people. No people wants to side with or support any oppressors.” I wonder how many Iranians would agree with him. Powerline has the complete text.

I’m sure the Democrats will be listening closely to comply with yet another third world crack pot’s demands on us. It would be just like them to sacrifice our national security so they can feel good about themselves.

I remind all partys concerned that Iraq is now the front line of our battle against worldwide terror no matter what got us involved there in the first place and for us to leave even one minute sooner than we need to will only provoke more attacks on our home land. The fact that our enemies are so concerned about our presence in another country proves that we are winning – this is not the to time go all Viet Nam again.
