The US Military can not lose a military engagement at this time in history, but the US Government can be easily defeated through psychological warfare. Whatever. I don't live in a major city, so my only comfort is that when the emboldened terrorists attack again, I won't be among the dead. Congratulations Blue-state Dhimmi-crats, your lack of "self preservation" astonishes me yet again. I'll keep supporting policies designed to keep y'all alive, but in the end everybody has to decide what their goal is. Well, so-called-liberals are basically defeating the US in Iraq.
