In the late 60's, the anti-war movement used to ask "What if there was a war and no one came?"

Now, our Congress seems bent on living up to our end of that deal.

Sadly enough, the other side doesn't act like they got the memo. Which is odd. They seem to have all the other Democrat Party talking points down to a tee.

The Common Wisdom in the US seems to be that, if we give a timetable to get out of Iraq, al Quaeda will leave us alone. That, somehow, us invading Iraq in 2003 caused: a) the attack on the USS Cole in 2000, b) the attack on the Khobar Towers in 1995, c) the first bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993, and d) the attacks on September 11, 2001 ... among others. AND, if we pull out of Iraq, they will leave us alone. Because, after all, we caused all of that by invading Iraq in 2003.

Apparently, Common Wisdom believes that the US government has mastered time travel.

So, now that Congress is pressuring the President for a pullout timetable, al Quaeda is threatening us with even worse than we have seen before.

Is is just me, or does Common Wisdom have feces for a cognitive thought organ?

Sidenote: is it interesting to you that this little video features a face and voice that is little known, and not Osama?
