Return of the Prodigal Son

Congratulations to General David Petraeus for being appointed commander of our forces in Afghanistan. And , congrats to President Bush, who has now been completely vindicated in his approach to the Iraq War, the Surge, and the Bush Doctrine in general. President Obama's appointment of General Petraeus , in the wake of General McChrystal's public meltdown via Rolling Stone magazine, proves that he knows that Bush was right.About everything that he opposed regarding the war, especially the surge of which there was no stronger opposition to than Senator Obama. This Fourth of July, let us remember the price of our freedom, victory in war by killing the enemy and forcing their surrender.  And now, with Petraeus in charge in Afghanistan, we now have a chance for complete victory. Hopefully, the General has another surge up his sleevYou see, Petraeus understands that when you go to war, your mission is to destroy the enemy and force their surrender.Nation building, political diplomacy, and restraint in combat , all part of the Obama McChrystal campaign,is a sure recipe for defeat, not victory. Unlike McChrystal, Petraeus will do what is necessary to win, and winning means eliminating Al-Queda and the Taliban from Afghanistan , completely and permanenly. This is the only method that works.It's the method that created our nation.  It's fortunate that the "Obama Doctrine" wasn't in effect during the Revolutionary War. America, as we know it, might never have existed at all.
