Republican Lawmaker says "Listen to Military on Iraq War"

As Democrats prepare for a showdown on Capitol Hill, Republican lawmaker warned they are making a grave mistake ; by not listening to season commanders. Rep. C.W. Bill Young (R-FL) said "Catastrophe always follows when civilians turn a deaf ear to their military officers." This is one of the first sensible things I have heard in a long time. Where has Bill Young been all this time? Maybe the liberals had him tied up somewhere and he has finally escaped.

Young has also said he doesn't think it is a good idea for Congress to manage the conduct of the war. Bravo for you Mr. Young. Do we want another Vietnam on our hands? This is exactly what happened when the liberals were in charge during the Vietnam War. Do we want this to happen in Iraq as well? I for one say no.

Keep up the great work Mr Young. You have shown your stance takes guts and courage. Let the commanders run this war not the liberals in Washington, who wish to undermine this war at every opportunity and spew their defeatist rhetoric.
