Here are some comments from previously unidentified un-American antiwar leftist traitors drawn from several current articles at www.truthout.org:
"We have failed to come anywhere near meeting the post-war expectations of Iraqis for security and post-war reconstruction... There is only one word for a situation in which you cannot win and you cannot withdraw - quagmire."
- Larry Diamond, an analyst at the conservative Hoover Institution
"I believe we are absolutely on the brink of failure. We are looking into the abyss... The policy people in both Washington and Baghdad have demonstrated their inability to do a job on a day-to-day basis this past year."
- General Joseph Hoar, a former commander in chief of US central command
"...a small group of neo-conservative ideologues were able to substitute their illusions for an effective planning effort by professionals".
Anthony Cordesman, a military scholar at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies
"We are winning tactically, but have made a few tactical blunders … [which] created strategic consequences in world opinion. We are losing public support regionally, internationally and within America — thus, currently, we are losing strategically."
Maj. Gen. Charles H. Swannack Jr., commander of the Army's 82nd Airborne Division
"We could not have screwed up more if we had set out to do it deliberately. We gave ourselves all the disadvantages of occupation, but none of the advantages."
- An active duty officer, name withheld
"We need to restrain what are growing U.S. messianic instincts, a sort of global social engineering where the United States feels it is both entitled and obligated to promote democracy, by force if necessary. Liberty cannot be laid down like so much Astroturf. Law and order must come first."
Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.), the conservative chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee
--------------------------
Neocons, your days in power are numbered. Even your fellow Republicans have had enough.
RELEVANCE TO THE JREF MISSION:
Critical thinkers must recognize that a cancerous meme called "neoconservatism" threatens critical thinking on a worldwide level, and that it has the power to subvert critical thinking in otherwise sane individuals.
