You seem to have the unique ability to combine societal conduct from 34 years ago with contemporary expressions of support for our GIs. And then, to construct out of whole cloth a fanciful and imaginary rejection of today's GIs by Democrats. That sounds like a fictional screen play to me.

To me the fiction is a politician standing before a microphone blasting an American mission this way and that, minimizing/ignoring its successes and magnifying its failures, ridiculing the hard-fought efforts of our troops - and by extension they themselves, - and then they add "But I fully support the troops."

It's hypocritical, it's insulting, and in most cases it's a flat-out lie.

Below are some examples of the "imaginary rejection" by national-level Democrats I've been "constructing."

I mean, when I voted for the war, I voted for what I thought was best for the country. Did I expect Howard Dean to go off to the left and say, "I'm against everything"? Sure. Did I expect George Bush to [expletive deleted] it up as badly as he did? I don't think anybody did.

"What I do regret is that this administration has not lived up to the standards of diplomacy set forth in the resolution," Kerry told the Des Moines Sunday Register. "The president's diplomacy has been completely lacking."

Sen. Joe Lieberman, D-Conn., said the bombing should ``explode the illusions of postwar progress and stability the Bush administration continues to cling to.''

Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., said: ``It is becoming increasingly clear each day that the administration misread the situation on the ground in Iraq and lacks an adequate plan to win the peace and protect our troops.''

The case for going to war against Iraq was a fraud "made up in Texas" to give Republicans a political boost, Sen. Edward Kennedy said Thursday.

Rep. Jim McDermott of Washington, the Democratic congressman who went to Baghdad last year to say that President Bush would lie to the American people in order to justify war, has now accused the president of timing Saddam Hussein's capture for political ends. He told a Seattle radio interviewer Monday that American forces could have captured Saddam "a long time ago if they wanted." Asked by interviewer Dave Ross on KIRO-FM whether the capture was timed to help the president, he replied: "Yeah. Oh, yeah. There's too much by happenstance for it to be just a coincidental thing."
