Please, Donny, Explain it to Me One More Time

Are you kidding me? "The nature of the struggle" is abundantly clear to me, and the president has had how many years to explain it to Americans and the rest of the world? We are all listening, Mr. President. Please, please, please explain it to us. Get on TV and explain it to us. We all WANT to understand and we want you to explain it to us. The problem is not that Americans don't understand the threat. The problem is that the president and his administration were totally off the mark when they invaded Iraq to fight their "war on terror". Selling a war to the public is monumentally more difficult when the pretenses under which you decided to invade were completely wrong. WMD? Nope. Al Qaeda in Iraq? Nope- but they're there now. Iraq involvement in 9/11? Nope. The list goes on and we are sick of hearing about it. And lets not forget that prior to invading and well into the first year of the war, the president didnt even know that there were two rival sects within the muslim faith- not to mention HOW they differed. How do you expect the American public to support a war when the reasons for invading keep changing and the president himself is incapable of articulating anything beyond the mentality of a 12-year old, like "its a monumental struggle of good versus evil... a clash of civilizations." Good riddance, you jackass.

"It's fair to say that [the president] is faced ­with a situation in which, because of the nature of the struggle and the fact that it is not well understood by the American people, the president has the task of managing and maintaining sufficient support for the things he believes are necessary for our country's safety. He has to take into account the reality that, only if we persevere, do we have an opportunity to succeed."
