DON'T CRITICIZE THE OCCUPATION (wmd's don't matter)

I'de like to examine one of the right's most prevalent arguments for not criticizing the failing Iraq occupation. It goes like this:

Now that the Iraq invasion and subsequent occupation is underway, any arguments critical of the decision to invade, or the strategies and tactics used, are unpatriotic/help the enemy/demoralize the troops etc....

Now that is a pretty sweet deal if your the decider responsible for this unholy mess. Why should you give any consideration whatsoever to the concerns of the citizens or the Congress when making decisions? After all, even if every American except you is against it, once the decision is made its their job to forget their objections and get on board.

• America, lets invade Canada!! Now I know that you will all be against it, but once the invasion begins you must forget your opposition and support the war effort.

In this new America, the president no longer has the unreasonable burden of considering the opinions of those he represents. He can ignore the citizens protests because they'll all be on board after the decision is made anyway. If our president should decide to launch an unprovoked intercontinental ballistic missile strike against China and they respond likewise resulting in the death of 80% of the the population, it would be unpatriotic to question his decision. Don't consider whether it a wise decision or if the results are good for whats left of the country, lets get behind this guy and give him our full support. After all, we would! be at war at that point. One more thing, if there's an election shortly thereafter, we must all vote him back into office. We certainly wouldn't want to change Presidents during a time of war!
