On a must read
You must read this article by Pat Tillman's brother Kevin.
I would really like to hear someone accuse him of being a "cut and run" terrorist sympathizer. As ridiculous as that sounds, though, I wouldn't be surprised if someone does.

I posted this on my blog, too. However, there is a difference between intelligent criticism like this (and, to be fair, what many Democrats are saying) and mindless opposition. I supported the war . . . but is has been fought so incompetently and stupidly, it's a disgrace.
But there is a legimiate criticism aimed at the "cut and run" crowd, who are smaller but more vocal. I reserve that title to those who are advocating just picking up and leaving. There are arguments to be made for doing precisely that. But you can't sugercoat it and say that it's not "cutting and running." I will grant, however, that the Right has used this expression for anyone who suggests doing anything in Iraq other than staying the present course.
What we need is a phrase for the kool-aid drinking mindless supporters of the President. How about this: Rush Limbaugh is just another:
1) "Everything is Fine" Republican.
2) "That Water Gushing Through the Hull is Normal" Right Winger.
3) "Heckuva a Job" Republican.
4) "Nothing to See Here" Bush supporter.
5) "Last Death Throes" Kool-Aid Drinker
My personal favorite is #3.
So, are you willing to accuse these troops of wanting to "cut and run"?
