Iraq Defeatism

Nervous politicians facing reelection in a tough year for the GOP have given in to the pressure and turned their backs on the war in Iraq. 86 US troops have died this month and it will most likely reach 100 before the month is out.

It is easy to say that it is a wrong war for political advantage but have any of these pols taken a step back and looked at what is happening. The enemy knows how to play our media. They know how to get the media to report only the bad. They know how to turn public opinion.

Ask yourself this, though; why would the terrorist elements want to see Republicans lose? If they are winning, why would they want to remove the the party that they are beating? It makes no sense except to say that they want the GOP out because they think the donks will cut & run and they can make Iraq into the new Afghanistan. They want a base of operations in a nation that also has the capacity to make money from oil. Iraq fits that description.

Think about that when you go to the polls.

Update: Darrell at Morning Coffee has more.
