DEMOCRATS ENDORSE DEFEAT IN IRAQ

Democrats are losing all semblance of self-control, and are finally coming right out and saying exactly what they believe in the debate over the war in Iraq.

Yesterday, we heard from Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean. His stunning statement: we are not going to win the war in Iraq. Dean joins the John Murtha wing of his party which calls for the unconditional surrender of the United States to Islamic terrorists in Iraq.

I’ve been expecting something like this, for weeks now. I'm sure the terrorists are lifting a cup of goat's milk to Chairman Dean today.This goes beyond politics and strays into the territory of the dangerously partisan. Right now there are 160,000 American troops in Iraq. They are there to fight a war that Congress (including a vast majority of both Democrats and Republicans) gave the president support to wage. In just under 3 years, we have liberated Iraq, deposed the dictator there, held elections and drawn up a Constitution. By any measure in the history of warfare, Iraq is a success. . . . In other words, for all intents and purposes, . . . we’ve won!

In just eight days the Iraqi people will elect their own leaders under their own constitution. Not bad, in spite of what the Democrats want you to believe. And what about those terrible numbers of casualties?? During the run-up to the war, there were retired generals on TV saying the US faced tens of thousands of casualties in the Iraq war. Since Baghdad fell, that number is a few thousand. Still way too many, but far short of estimates.

Despite the wishes of the Democrats, we have, in essence, WON the war in Iraq. All that’s left is training their military and police how to maintain a decent democratic society, through conventional rule of law.But Howard Dean wasn't finished with just the moronic rant about not winning. He went on to compare Iraq to Vietnam, even though there is no palatable comparison. He then called for troops to be redeployed. Redeployed, in case you don't know, means withdrawn from Iraq. Last time I checked, Howard Dean wasn't, and has never been, a general in the U.S. Army. He should stick to politics and medicine.

Can you just imagine how the Islamic terrorists and the insurgents must have felt when they heard these words from the chairman of the American Democrat Party?? These insurgents and terrorists have been gathering evidence for some time now that the Democrats were their friends. Now how must they feel? Not only is the leader of the party demanding withdrawal of American troops, but he's declaring the terrorists to be the winners! I think it’s time to begin to question these folks’ patriotism, . . . don’t you??Is there some obscure office at the Democratic National Headquarters where some of the more ardent members of the pro-Saddam crowd are planning for the Democratic delegation to head to Baghdad to celebrate the return to power of Saddam Hussein??

Let’s consider the possibilities, here. What are we supposed to do, to make Chairman Dean happy?? Should we let Saddam out of jail, and return him to his palaces?? What about buying him some nice, new, bullet-proof Limousines?? We could offer him an opportunity to re-start the “Oil for Food” program, so he could rebuild his millions of Iraqi Dinars and American Dollars back to pre-ouster levels. He could adopt a couple of his worst sociopaths to resume the work that his poor sons were interrupted from completing, too. Shouldn’t we just call our generals, and tell ‘em to pack everything up, and get the hell out of Baghdad?? Couldn’t we just call those local Imams, and tell ‘em we’re leaving Faluja, Mosul, and Kirkuk, offer ‘em up some nice letters of recommendation, and wander off, back to our C-130s, load our equipment, and leave?? I’m not sure even France would endorse such a plan, at this stage, . . . and, I KNOW Spain and Italy wouldn’t!

But Howard knows that he’s got the endorsement of millions of Americans on the left, who are apathetic enough, as long as there’ve been no more terrorist attacks inside our borders, to just sit back and let him rant, and let him run his ignorant mouth to the extent that he endangers our troops, and the successful mission they’re on.

God Bless,
