No Surrender

Forgive me if I’ve addressed this before but Grampy InSane’s (and the rest of the rah rah war crowd's) continuous vow that, “I will never surrender in Iraq, my friend.” Just drives me through the roof. Surrender? How could we possibly “surrender”? Duh and company illegally invaded and took over a sovereign nation and continues to occupy this nation through the use of military force.

When rational people talk of withdrawing from Iraq, they are not talking about surrendering. Surrender is a propaganda term that the war mongers are using to appeal to people’s emotions. Surrender? We’re not going to surrender! We’re America! How dare these sane people mess with our machismo.

No, withdrawing our troops and surrendering are two very different things. Next time (and the next 1000 times) you hear someone use the word surrender, consider the source. I guarantee you it will be spoken by a far right wing neo-con tool and/or mouthpiece, and it will be spoken in the context of trying to demean rational thinking Americans who want what is best for their country and their troops, withdrawal. Do yourself a favor and don’t buy into their propaganda. The world will be a better place.
