Fuck you, Mitch McConnell

Mitch McConnell, campaigning in Grayson County, Kentucky:

“Our brave soldiers have protected us for six years successfully. If we brought all of them home today (terrorists) they would be back here, so we need to stay the course. It's gotten better and there is a dramatic decrease in causalities and we have begun to withdraw troops.” said McConnell. ”The polls are reflecting that there is a 15% increase in optimism in American's views about the war.

“I won't tell you everything is great in Iraq; it is not. But we want to keep a steady flow of funds so that we don't disrupt the military,” said McConnell. “Unfortunately, most of our friends on the other isle are having a hard time admitting things are getting better; some days I almost think the critics of this war don't want us to win. Nobody is happy about losing lives but remember these are not draftees, these are full-time professional soldiers.”

Here's the deal, you cavalier jackass: the first rule of military leadership is that you DO NOT needlessly get your soldiers killed or wounded. You do everything possible to minimize casualties.

Only someone immoral could commit the lives of others in a needless war that can't be won. Only someone with no conscience could be so casual about the loss of life for which he bears some of the responsibility. In other words, Mitch McConnell.
