Walking on eggshells

I listen to a lot of talk radio, watch the news, what have you. I was listening to Mike Barnicle last week. One caller blamed the democrats and liberal American people for making the military's job harder over in Iraq. He claimed to have served in Iraq. This guy said they can't do their job over there because we keep second guessing there every move they make. The military is always "walking on eggshells."

Well, let me tell you something. The American people and the democrats have had very little control over our military, believe it or not. Don't believe everything you see on FoxNews. As a matter of fact, if most of us had our way, we would have pulled out of Iraq by now. As for who has actually been running the show, you may be surprised to learn it has been the White House and republican party. So if you want to assign blame for how things run in Iraq, look at the top of the command structure, not at those of us who aren't even in the loop.
