An Unwillingness to Know
It is disturbing, just for the deleterious effect on our troop morale (not to mention the comfort it gives our enemies), that Senator Harry Reid (D-UT) has declared the Iraq front lost. But this is maddening. He all but calls General Petraeus a liar. He has closed his mind to first person reports of what is actually happening in Iraq. Worse, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) doesn't have the time to meet with Petraeus. She can meet with Syrian dictator Bashar Assad. She has time for that.
It is getting easier for us right thinking types to ignore the opinions of these Democrat leaders on the war being waged against us as baseless because the leaders are willingly uninformed. I wonder if this refusal to learn is having any effect on the the followers of these perspicacious leaders? Or are they willfully uninformed as well?
