Cronkite is an idiot
Walter Cronkite, "The most trusted man in America," has shown his Liberal stripes again. Cronkite: U.S. Should Cut-And-Run in Iraq.
"It's my belief that we should get out now," Cronkite said in a meeting with reporters.[...]
"We had an opportunity to say to the world and Iraqis after the hurricane disaster that Mother Nature has not treated us well and we find ourselves missing the amount of money it takes to help these poor people out of their homeless situation and rebuild some of our most important cities in the United States," he said. "Therefore, we are going to have to bring our troops home."
Iraqis should have been told that "our hearts are with you" and that the United States would do all it could to rebuild their country, he said.
"I think we could have been able to retire with honor," he said. "In fact, I think we can retire with honor anyway."
We are there for an extended period of time, until the Administration is sure that Iraq can stand on it's on and not degenerate into a civil war. Terrorist organizations such as Al-Qaeda can easily move into stateless countries, such as Sudan, Afghanistan, and Iraq if we let them. Iraq needs to stand as a shining beacon of light to the Islamic world, as the United States shines as a beacon to every country in the world.
Then you have defeatist Liberal idiots like Cronkite. Who want us to fail, who think we have no right to win, who want terrorism to spread throughout the world. It's not what they say they want, but their actions reveal their true intentions more than their words.
