My apologies, but sometimes I can’t get it done in 750 words.

Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.* Across the land, and at many places on God’s earth, multitudes of villages are deprived of their idiot. Unfortunately, it seems, they’ve all migrated here.

Sheehan couldn’t get it done, so the communists replaced their hapless general with their anti-Soldier mega star. Jihad Jane rallied the guttersnipes to a Super Bowl level of Soldier-hating.

“Later, as antiwar protesters passed where he and his group were standing, words were exchanged and one of the antiwar protestors spit at the ground near Mr. Sparling; he spit back.” New York Times

Now if we’ll toss in some Jihadi flags for them to hoist up and salute, a bale of pot, some nasty old hippies singing give peace a chance, and someone else’s medals for Kerry to toss over the Whitehouse fence, they will have recaptured their glory days. And, once again, sadly, most of us will have stood by and watched as an insignificant collection of idiots determined the destiny of our Country and abandoned our most dedicated citizens. In twenty years if we still exist as a country, out of guilt for their treatment of serving Men and Women, someone will stick up a memorial and declare all is healed. I’ve seen this story before. I know how it turns out. It doesn’t heal.

It’s not a fluke that Jane and her Jihadi sympathizers came out. Who do you think encouraged them? Might I suggest: Biden, Hagel, Reid, Pelosi, Warner, Webb, Feingold, Byrd, Rockefeller, Obama, Clinton, Kerry, Kennedy, Murtha, Specter, Durbin, Rangel, Snowe, Boxer, Conyers, just for starters. For most Americans these, and others like them, represent the legitimizing wing of America’s Axis of Idiots. I don’t know if they're the Clown or Joker wing. You decide, but in function and as far as our enemies are concerned they’re interchangeable.

We’re treated multiple times each day to their screed - one that encourages and emboldens our enemies, foreign and domestic. They profess to speak for most Americans. In fact, they can’t even start a conversation without telling us what a majority of Americans think. Do I get anything special now because of my new minority status?

They cite a dubious poll or polls in general and then point to the likes of demonstrating Fondas, Code Pinkos and other assorted miscreants as proof. The media that reported hundreds of thousands of protestors, then pared it down to tens of thousands and ultimately down to thousands hold to the same views. They too lambaste Americans with their anti-Soldier and anti-American messages. The Jihadi propaganda machine wishes it worked as well. All of these self-absorbed, horses’ rears send messages of support to our enemies, of despair to our countrymen and of total disbelief to our Service Men and Women and their families.

They tell us if we hadn’t gone to Iraq, 3000 American Soldiers would not be dead. If people didn’t go to work in the Pentagon or at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 or decide to travel by airliners, 3000 of them would not be dead either. If the terrorists were not preoccupied with getting their hind-ends handed to them in every confrontation in Iraq and Afghanistan, they’d have more time to figure out how to get here and kill thousands more Americans – idiots included – that aren’t dead yet.

If there weren’t 535 people who believe they should each be Commander-in-Chief, American Soldiers would probably be home now and Iraq stabilized.

“The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States;” Article II, Section 2, United States Constitution.

The majority of them voted to send Soldiers to war. Ten minutes after it started fatheads, like Ted Kennedy called it a quagmire and media fools agreed. Or, it may have been the other way around, who the hell knows? People who don’t give a rat’s rear for the well-being of any American Soldiers started lamenting how they didn’t have enough body armor or armored vehicles. Most of them from the same political party whose President refused to send armor support to Soldiers in Somalia when their commanders asked for it. Then, our Soldiers become Nazis, Gulag operators, terrorists, torturers and cold-blooded murderers. All of this from people who insist they support the troops.

For some reason the sheet music changed and the new song became we don’t have enough Nazis, Gulag operators, terrorists, torturers and cold-blooded murderers on the ground to get the job done because Rumsfeld is incompetent and is trying to fight a war on the cheap. Then they complained it was costing too much. We should have given all that money to The Mayor of Chocolate City, Ray Nagin.

Complaints of ill-equipped Soldiers ended when they morphed into illiterate, uneducated and downtrodden kids who wouldn’t fight given a choice in life. Dying in war was the best they could hope for in a world controlled by evil neo-cons. A hyperventilating media reported each casualty number as another milestone of our defeat and never once offered reasons for sacrifice other than the President lied and never once spoke of progress made through sacrifice or about how many terrorists are now roaming around in hell looking for their virgins.

The President insisted that we stay the course. Words that mean, to any person with more than two firing brain cells, that we’ll see the job through until we meet the mission objective of a Democratic Iraq that can defend itself. The naysayers would have none of it. It was Rumsfeld’s plan so it couldn’t possibly work. He had to go and we should retreat to Okinawa. The phrase, staying the course, became a liberal obscenity with which to begin every war discussion. So, we had ourselves a commission of stuffed shirts, not a military man or woman among them, whose report reads like Paul Simon’s 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover. Skip out the back, Jack. Make a new plan, Stan.

So, the President sacrificed Secretary Rumsfeld. Together with the new secretary and some of our Nation’s top Military minds, he decided to stay the course and push for the victory our Country and Soldiers need. There is only one problem with that. The village idiots misread the tealeaves. The Rumsfeld sacrifice combined with the stuffed-shirt commission report, they were sure, was the beginning of our capitulation, our second Vietnam, their victory. Be damned what that meant for our future.

To their chagrin, we have one Commander-in-Chief capable of making hard decisions and sticking with them. Military commanders require one boss, not 535. He decided that we will stay the course, but with some azimuth corrections. Victory for the United Sates in Iraq is a defeat for our idiot collective here at home, so they necessarily turned up the rhetoric and in so doing encouraged the Jihadi sympathizers led by their icon, Jane Fonda, to come out. Stop the surge. It may work.

The media reaches new heights to complete our circle of fools. CNN has published terrorist sniper videos, which they label as insurgent. It’s interesting that the be-headers are fighters or insurgents while our Soldiers are Nazis and murderers. CBS uses al-Qaeda video for news reporting, and the New York Times decides it’s OK to publish a video and still photographs of a dying American Soldier. I’m not too sure what we should conclude from this, but I don’t recall pictures or videos of Bob Woodruff or his cameraman or other injured journalists. Could be I missed them.

Foolishness isn’t limited to videos and photographs, unfortunately. This jerk, Paul Whitfield, listed as a supervisor at the LA Times decided it was time to whack Vietnam Veterans. Why not, I mean if Jane is back, it must be open season on all Serving Men, Women and Veterans. In Mr. Whitfield’s moronic comments, he says:

“…these Vietnam War guys are hungry for revenge. After all, they fought in the only war the U.S. ever lost. And they didn't even get a parade. So this is their chance. We can throw them that big parade when they come marching home.”

They didn’t lose it Mr. Whitfield. That trophy goes to idiots the likes of you. letters@latimes.com

Jerk number 2 is William M. Arkin from the Washington Post. Mr. Arkin is upset that Soldiers in combat might not appreciate the lack of support shown them by Mr. Arkin, his friends and his butt wipe of a newspaper. He upset people with his first post then dug his snake hole deeper with his second. I’m not going to repost his tripe here, but read it for yourself. This is the support, unfortunately, that our Soldiers in danger see and read daily. Giving them thoughts they do not need to have. It’s hard to comprehend the greatness of the Men and Women that would sacrifice so that people like Mr. Arkin can breathe free American air and compose his imbecilic comments. letters@washpost.com

With elected idiots on one side and the Fonda idiots and media standing on the other, you, our Soldiers and I are stuck in the middle. Their encirclement of our Country is complete. In World War II, a Paratrooper lamented to his commander that the Germans had them surrounded. The Commander, an old Paratrooper responded, “Yea, the poor bastards.”
