Support the Troops & the "Slow Bleed"

Well, today the US House passed the "non binding" (read worthless) resolution opposing President Bush's troop surge. The focus has been on simply the number of new troops being sent, not the change in strategy to secure & hold areas by eradicating the terrorist elements that are perpetrating the violence against the Iraqi people.

As this debate went on, a new strategy was unveiled. It's called the slow bleed strategy, authored by John Murtha. It's simply a way to slowly cut off funds instead of doing it all at once. It would keep the troops from receiving reinforcements and the material support they need to do their jobs. I fail to see how this can be construed as supporting the troops.

Another tidbit that came to my attention shows how many on the left really feel about the men and women serving in our military. It's by a professor named June Scorza Terpstra. It can be found at this link entitled "Can we really support these troops?" In this post, Prof. Terpstra excoriates our troops as thuggish mercenaries who delight in killing innocents. Needless to say, I believe she is completely wrong; however, I do think it's good to get the truth of how the anti-war movement leadership really feels about our troops when they say they support them.
