The `Mind' of a Neocon

From Rush's dumber brother:

Many conservatives are telling themselves and others that Iraq didn't play a major role in the voters' decision to elect Democrats. They cite dubious exit polls to prove their point. But if we truly believe we are in a world war against global jihadists, that the major battlefield in the war is Iraq, and that Democrats, for all practical purposes, oppose our continued prosecution of the war there, then Iraq did us in because we didn't make the case. Democrats have succeeded in convincing enough people that Iraq is a costly diversion in the war and Republicans have failed to convince them otherwise.

IF you truly believe we are in a world war against global jihadists, that the major battlefield in the war is Iraq then you need to read an 8th-grade level book about the Middle East. There is no "war" against "global jihadists, no on both counts. It is not a "war," and there are no 'global jihadists.' Terrorists and terror calls--of course. Isolated fractured, competitive, antagonistic terrorists and cells with different and contradictory iseologies and objectives, but global jihadists? No. And of course, Iraq is a botched occupation rather than a `major battlefield' of any war other than a war to destroy the American republic and constitution.
