No longer content with defeat; Libs want quick defeat

Are Americans tired of the war or just tired of appearing to lose it? When Sadam’s statue was pulled down in Baghdad, public support for the war was near 80%. Support for the war since the MSM’s projection of the war as lost by the nightly running of the latest car bomb, endless pictures of Abu Grhaib, Jack the ass Murtha’s declaration that Marines were guilty of murder even before the Article 32 hearing had begun etc., etc. has slipped to an anemic 30 something percent today.

So the MSM and Libs today have engaged in a full court press to hang a military defeat around a Republican president’s neck. This is pure politics. Anyone who thinks otherwise should ask themselves why 24 billion in pork had to be added to the cut and run bill the president just vetoed to even get it out of congress.

Even as the “new strategy”, a strategy that Libs once called for, begins to show signs of an improving Iraq, Libs demand an exit strategy that does not include a stable Iraq. This is folly. Fortunately, Bush is a man of sufficient character to resist the Libs’ political ambitions to destroy his presidency. Bush also resists the whims of popular opinion on the war. He knows that public opinion, always fickle, will change the minute progress is demonstrated in the war. Libs know that too. And that is why they want to cut funding now, before the surge is even given a chance to succeed.

Some Libs claim that their despicable tactics, even as they fail, serve the purpose of increasing the pace of Iraqi political reconciliation and military preparedness to stand without US support. US Ambassador to Iraq, Ryan Crocker, a career diplomat – which is D.C. code for Lib – debunks this notion. Crocker claims that Lib political tactics in the congress are actually slowing reconciliation on the part of Iraqi politicians. According to Crocker the Iraqis are now taking a wait and see approach as to whether or not the US has the will to stand up to al Qaida and other terrorists in Iraq. On the military front, the congress’ dallying with military funds has caused Iraqi military training to slow or stop.

Before the surge, Libs just wanted “Bush” to lose the war. Now that the surge has begun, they want him to lose the war quickly.
