The week before the Jan. 30 Iraqi election, Sen. Ted Kennedy, Massachusetts Democrat, branded Iraq a hopeless quagmire. "Bush's Vietnam," Mr. Kennedy bellowed.
"Quagmire." "Vietnam." "Bush." Indeed, the senator's dire sermon invoked his fundamentalist faith's demons old and demons au courant. Sen. Barbara Boxer of California joined the snake dance, adding her own poisonous sanctimony.
China's Mao Tse-tung wrote that guerrillas are fish swimming in the sea of the people. Translation: It takes popular support to sustain a genuine guerrilla conflict. The Saddmist thugs and al Qaeda zealots who kill Iraqi civilians and coalition troops are reactionaries with scant political appeal. They are murderers, not soldiers in a wider people's war.
Check the ink-stained fingers — the Iraqi elections demonstrated just how politically marginal these fascists are.
Ted Kennedy and Howard Dean can't hear that, can't see that. Saddled with defeatism and blinded by cynicism, their old-time '60s political religion is now the quagmire.

It is interesting to look back in history as to what this lot of losers was saying about Reagan. Same s***, different day -- recall how Reagan was accused of setting up WW3, etc. And RR just went about his business as usual, and every time he executed on one of his promises or plans, HE PROVED THE STUPID LIBS WRONG!!! These fools could just not handle it. It was a rare time in our real history, that will not be forgotten by those of us that were there to listen to all of it -- so again, SSDD. Deja vu -- from our dying left.
Why don't these lefties propose that Congress pull the plug on funding these operations? If they're not willing to do that they should STFU.
What these lefties are against is the $80bil + going to Iraq. It will not be redeemed.
What they want is not a one time investment for freedom but an ongoing $80bil+ in domestic slavery.
Note the difference.
