A Little Perspective from The Politburo Diktat
There may be some in the blogosphere who are foolish enough to underestimate the Politburo Diktat, but not me, and this post is one reason why. The Commissar makes a point about commitment to victory by using a particularly apt historical analogy:
Da, Comrade, Great Patriotic War. That was war. Commissar not understand Americans. Are they at war? Did enemies kill 3,000 citizens in one morning? How does America want to win war? Sit around campfire, on Peace Rug, sing Kumbaya? In Great Patriotic War, Soviet Union lost 20 million in four years of war. 5 million a year. 400,000 a month. 13,000 per day. 500 per hour. Comrades, by this scale, America has been at war in Iraq for about one hour. Now you talk "exit strategy?"
Read the entire post. The Commissar has a terrific blog, both in content and style. And no, I'm not sucking up to get my rank and commission back, either.

Your rank and commission? I'm under orders to be dragged away and shot and you're worried about your rank and commission? :^)

Yeah, and I lied: I am sucking up to get my rank and commission back. Bummer about the bullet, though, comrade. I'll protest as soon as your memory has been rehabilitated during the next regime, er, glorious era of leadership.
