...precedent from Democrats in terms of generating disrespect against the government, as Syed claims they should, then the results would not be as perfect as liberals want us to think. After 9/11, leftists began instigating claims that the Bush administration was behind the attacks to generate incentive for invading Iraq. Would this be the example of disrespect Syed is alluding we follow? Subversion and breaching the trust to the government that fights to ensure our security and freedom? The Democrats have as just a tainted record of disrespect as any other political institution in this country. Self-proclaimed righteousness...

With troops still on the ground and uncertainty still in the air, war in Iraq presses on with no end in sight and a daily price tag well into the millions. And now, President Obama is preparing to ramp up the “good war” in Afghanistan. The United States hasn’t won a ground war in over half a century, and now one of the smartest presidents in modern American history thinks...
...reason the estimates are all over the canvas is that Iran, like Iraq, is one of the world's worst countries in which to establish facts. It's a vicious police state dedicated to stopping its national-security secrets from leaking. The few journalists and academics allowed into Iran are sharply circumscribed in their contacts and the places they can visit. The quickest way to be arrested or escorted out of that country is to ask questions about its bomb. Western diplomats and intelligence operatives have only marginally better access. The IAEA knowledge of Iran's nuclear programs is limited...
