Military Recruitment

Wes Clark, the newest Fox News analyst and NATO's former wizard of high altitude bombing, was on Fox this evening discussing, among other things, the recruiting shortfalls of late. His position is that they fall squarely on the President's lack of selling the war effort to the public.

While I certainly believe the administration in general and Bush in particular could have done a better job, there was no mention of the constant drumbeat of treasonous comments from the Democratic Party as a whole and the main stream media in particular. All we hear in the press are stories of how American troops are targeted by "insurgents", how American troops are killing civilians and torturing detainees, and how the whole world is opposed to our efforts in the War on Terror. Durbin calls US troops Nazis and compares them to Stalin's jailers and Pol Pot's murderers and not one Democrat calls for his resignation.

Wes, time for a sanity check. Take some leadership in your party. Or didn't you learn leadership...
