WHOOPS IRAQ...
11/28/2007
They never saw it coming did they? This good news not
being reported has taken the Democrats by surprise. and not only by
surprise but at the worst possible time. But before we go any farther I
have to hash out exactly why the Democrats are surprised. Surprised that a
large increase in troops would produce results. Two years prior they were
screaming for the increase in soldiers so they are either really stupid or
politically disingenuous.
Now they are quickly trying to learn
another dance and so far they are failing. They can't admit there is real
success when just a few weeks ago they called Petraeus a liar. Of course
that does not stop Mrs. Clinton though..."Our troops are the best in the
world; if you increase their numbers they are going to make a difference,"
She said recently. Well pardon me while I adjust my suspension of
disbelief... They also cannot continue to claim there is no success. Well
at least the ones who have a real shot at the nomination. Edwards has as
much chance to get the Democratic nomination as Ronald Reagan. Dennis
Kucinich is really running for Governor of Andromeda. Bill Richardson is
working overtime to be Hillary Clintons Bitch and the rest of the back
benchers are not worth mentioning.
Obama wants to pull out, Keep
troops in past 2013, invade Pakistan, and have a tea party in Tehran. SO
far I have yet to hear him admit the progress that is being
made.
However you can never say that the Democrats are without a
game plan. In order to avoid having to say that Iraq is a lost cause they
trot out Retired Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez. On the weekly Democratic radio
address no less. "It is well past time to adopt a new approach in Iraq
that will improve chances to produce stability in the Middle East," he
said. "I urge our political leaders to put aside partisan considerations
and unite to lessen the burden our troops and their families have been
under for nearly five years.". Of course the idea is that the right will
not impugn General Sanchez because he is a Military man. Well we don't
have to. All that has to be done is point out that the strategy General
Sanchez criticizes is the one he was in charge of. He was in charge
when the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal broke and he was the man with
the plan when the insurgency took control. So we are not to believe
General Petraeus when he sits in front of a bi partisan congressional
committee involving the strategy he has implemented but have to believe
General Sanchez when he bashes a strategy he is no part of and appears on
the Democratic radio address?
What are the Democrats going to do when the general
election season rolls around? They can't pledge to pull the troops out
within 100 days of his or her administration when the New York Times,
earlier in the day ran a front page story of more surge success. This
raises another point. How will they satiate the KOS crowd? Now that the
crown prince of Left wing buffoonery is writing for Newsweek he has been
given credibility, and a mainstream national audience. he only position so
far has been get out of Iraq now. He has also been giving the candidates
campaign advice through his column: It's still all about Bush. The left
seems to be listening since they cannot begin a sentence without saying
"well the Bush Administration....". Every time the do a Fred Asatire when
asked about Iraq he and his minions of stupidity will eviscerate them the
next day.
They have put themselves in a no win situation by calling
Iraq a no win situation. Americans like winners. That may be one of the
reasons the left is beginning to sweat.
