Misinformed, Uneducated People Stuck In Iraq Said What?

From WaPo(?) Wow:

The soldiers declined to discuss the political jousting back home, but they expressed support for the Bush administration's approach to the war, which they described as sticking with a tumultuous situation to give Iraq a chance to stand on its own.

Leading Democrats have argued for a timeline to bring U.S. troops home, because obvious progress has been elusive, especially in Baghdad, and even some Republican lawmakers have recently called for a change in strategy. But soldiers criticized the idea of a precipitate withdrawal, largely because they believe their hard work would go for naught.

Maybe they just don't know any better. Yeah, that's it.

UPDATE: Meanwhile, back in Idaho, the two sons of (Democrat) State Senator Mike Burkett are doing what they can to support the troops:

Police say two men were arrested for vandalizing flags memorializing Idaho’s fallen soldiers. Early Sunday morning police say two men were spotted by Statehouse security guards knocking over flags.

Oh. I guess that's not really very supportive. Just forget I mentioned those guys.

Whatever you do, don't question their patriotism

I think anyone caught vandalizing military memorials should be turned over to the military justice system for a tribunal, with execution by firing squad the punishment for those found guilty.

There's a quote and link at LGF including the mother/Senator's wife saying "the entire event was a 'misunderstanding'." Yeah, I guess they thought that it was a Jewish cemetery so it would be okay.
