Bush Keeps Promises, Dems Lose Minds

Published by at 9:16 am under All General Discussions,Iraq

Honestly,the only thing holding up the Republicans in Congress this year for me is the horrid option the dissarayed Democrats represent. The idiocy of pandering to the KoSKids and DU dumps in a string of failed Senate votes to surrender the field of Iraq (and hide out in Okinawa) just underscored the nation’s core problem with the Democrats: they are a schizoid, paranoid, flighty lot. Even the leftwing press lords are getting tired of the disasterous missteps:

Trouble is, the message sent to the rest of the country may be that Democrats who are more liberal can’t be trusted when it comes to national security.

That message is likely to stick even if the Bush administration decides on its own to draw down the U.S. presence. Over the weekend, an administration official confirmed reports that Army Gen. George W. Casey has devised plans that could produce sharp reductions in U.S. forces as early as September and cut the number of combat brigades by nearly two-thirds by late 2007. But if President Bush follows that advice, he can say that he is simply living up to his oft-stated promise to defer to the judgment of battlefield commanders rather than play politics with troop levels.

Emphasis mine. Bush can say? Bush has said over and over success will defing our exit strategy. Expediency is all that defined the plans of the left. Not expediency in winning in Iraq, but it winning the vote of the far, far left. That is the same 20% of the population that stood by Sen Dick Durbin’s pathetic smear of our military when he compared them to Nazis. So you have to go far into the fever swamps to get their support.

The Democrats are upset that, while harder than we had all hoped, progress in Iraq has been constantly moving forward. If Bush is told by the military commanders we can reduce troops, it will be due to their combined dilligence and efforts. Bush for staying the course in the face of mounting calls for surrender before we succeed, and the military for their unending efforts to break the back of the insurgency.

Recall all the Chicken Little stories from the left as they predicted doom over and over and over again – to always be shown to be pathetically wrong. More possibly later, but it is clear the Democrat Debacle has left a huge credibility gap with the left and the American People. If we need a party to run away in the face of moderate challenges, we know where to look. Just look left.

    Something dawned on me on my way in to work today. The New York Times article on Sunday that would attempt to spin our Iraq troop withdrawal plans as a “BushCo ignores congressional Democrats and creates it’s own private plan” might just backfire on them when one thinks about things for a moment.

    What was really exposed was that President Bush has told us all along that troop depolyments would be conditions based. He has said we would not have any more troops that required for the situation. The New York Times has now shown us that indeed the administration DOES have a plan and that those are not just empty words. Not only is the administration really doing what it says it has been doing, it actually has a forward looking plan for an overall exit strategy from Iraq!

    That, ladies and gentlemen, is good news. The New York Times has just given President Bush on a silver platter what his administration has been trying to get for ages … confidence that we do, in fact, have a plan.

    Thanks, Keller! We needed that.

    Well if Bush says they are coming home it means it is time for them to come home. If the Democrats say it, it means they are trying to get some votes.

    But I agree AJ, everytime I get disgusted with the my way or highway brigade I think about Durbin and Kerry and Murtha…..
