Abu Graib is no longer ours to dismantle. I am all for closing Gitmo and givig it tpPuerto Rico, and bringing the prisoners ho,e and fighting the challenges until liberals have to justify releasing enemies.

I understand that folks like Walter Jones, John Duncan, and Ron Paul have been against the Iraq war from the beginning. Shouldn’t we be giving them some sort of pass on that, as their opposition to the surge is not really new?

Besides, wouldn’t you be better off trying to peel off Heath Shuler and Stephanie Herseth?

But at least they support the troops, which is why they’re trying to pull the rug out from under them.

They should call this travesty “bleed out.”

I love the Dems, according to them, there is no one right, not even one. Todd in his deception shows yet again that if you don’t agree with his ideas, you are in a world of fantasy. There is not a single thought that he might be wrong. Nope not Todd, he is God’s gift to prophecy.

Let’s at least give honorable mention to Republicans like Ron Paul that are standing up to their own party’s lack of realism.

See according to Todd only the Dems are right, the Dem party if just full of prophets. Tell me Todd, HOW do you know the surge isn’t going to work?? We can win everywhere else in the world, but once the Dems say we can’t win we might as well tuck tail and run. And if you don’t see the realism of that, the Dems will shove it down your throat until you are ready to concede. Wake up Todd. Why would you set yourself up to look like an idiot?? When this does work, what are you going to say then?? Better yet, what are these Republicans going to say when we win this war? – Lorica

The Cowardly Democrats At It Again

A big pat on the back to Bryan over at Hot Air for his most excellent skewering of the Democrats newest plan for defeat in the war on terror. A "slow bleed" strategy: Top House Democrats, working in concert with…

You mean dishonorable mention. It’s all they’re worth.

No ST, they don’t get any farther than the title before commenting.

I already noted in my post that 11 House Republicans had joined the Democrats on this. Did you not see the link?

By: Todd

Todd — Thu, 15 Feb 2007 00:16:03 +0000

Yes, and a few Republicans have joined the Democrats on this opposition strategy. Ron Paul, a Republican from Texas, opposes the surge. He blasted Bush on the House floor today. Here is the video: LINK Let's at least give honorable mention to Republicans like Ron Paul that are standing up to their own party's lack of realism.

Their tactics are so perfectly in tune with what the Ba’athists, insurgents, terrorists and Iranian thugs want and need to happen, one would almost think they are specifically acting to aid our enemies. The enemy can’t drive us out of Iraq, so Congress will. Isn’t that something?

Sneaky Democrats’ New Strategy

This is really disgusting.

The legislative strategy will be supplemented by a multimillion-dollar TV ad campaign designed to pressure vulnerable GOP incumbents into breaking with President Bush and forcing the administration to admit that the war is politically unsustainable.

So are the money they plan to bleed away is going for these ads?

Top House Democrats, working in concert with anti-war groups, have decided against using congressional power to force a quick end to U.S. involvement in Iraq, and instead will pursue a slow-bleed strategy designed to gradually limit the administration’s options.

Isn’t that the same as “special interest” groups defining and shaping policy?

Isn’t that something Dmeocrats were completely against? or is it only if it doesn’t hurt them monetarily and vote wise?

Only against special interest when its convienent?

Led by Rep. John P. Murtha, D-Pa., and supported by several well-funded anti-war groups…

Well-funded special interest groups and Murtha…..hmmm that seems to be right down Murtha’s alley now doesn’t it?

The House strategy is being crafted quietly, even as the chamber is immersed this week in an emotional, albeit mostly symbolic, debate over a resolution expressing opposition to Bush’s plan to “surge” 21,500 more troops into Iraq.

I am not surprised it is being crafted quietly. Not surprised at all.

If this is something big for them, why are they being so quiet about it?

If it is something all Americans are wanting, then why not bring it before the media, the American People and show them proudly what you are doing.

If it is something being done “quietly”, seems to me to be another word for “sneaky”, aother way of saying “we don’t want you to know about it till its done”.

Seeing it being done “quietly” sounds to me like they have something to HIDE.
