When it comes to cutting and running, John Kerry, Jack Murtha and Nancy Pelosi take a back seat to no one. But what if, quel horreur!, the terrorist insurgents in Iraq beat them to the white flag punch?
Amidst the news of the day, from plots to bomb the Sears Tower to more Dem disunity, Jim Miklaszewski let slip this little bombshell, coming from a press conference by the top U.S. commander in Iraq, General George Casey:
"On the positive front, Casey revealed for the first time the Sunni insurgency has reached out to both the U.S. and Iraq to find some way to end their terrorist campaign."
Whoah! Talk about upsetting the apple cart! This could be a total disaster. The Dems are just going to have to find a way to accelerate their surrender timetable before those darn terrorists mess everything up by surrendering first!
In other news, for the second day running Today played the drumbeat of Dem disunity. Matt Lauer interviewed Joe Biden, and zinged him with these questions:
"You were here just two weeks ago. It's an amazing change in those two weeks. The Republicans were loathe to talk about the war with Iraq. They were talking about gay marriage and flag burning. And the Democrats seemed to be in the driver's seat. Two weeks later, the Republicans are united behind the president and the Democrats are divided. How did this happen?"
And later: "Do you think, though, there is a perception that the Democrats can't get on the same page? Two Democratic proposals were floated on in the Senate and -- were voted on in the Senate and neither passed. John Kerry's only got 13 votes."
Biden: "That's right."
Lauer: "How did that happen?"
Biden: "Well, that's the point. We don't agree with John Kerry."
Message to Sen. Biden - it's not a good sign when the only way you can refute the disunity allegation is by throwing under the bus your once and perhaps future presidential candidate!
Today Show/NewsBusters surrender sweepstakes ping.
Sure thing guys. Give us your address and we'll send our negotiating team right over ...
What a great report. And what good news. Thanks for detailing this so well so most of us don't have to watch The Today show :-)
Talk about a party that would just collapse in despair, let the terrorists surrender! MG, just MG!
Honest-to-goodness LOL!
Yeah, that's a classic, glgb! LOL!
Thanks for the kind words - glad you enjoyed it. Of course we all realize there's still a tough road ahead in Iraq, but I must admit that I got a kick out of putting this report together!

Here's the reason the "insurgents' are wanting to wave the white flag.
Rat spokesman: "We exhibited leadership on this issue and set the example for the Sunni Insurgency...."
I love the smell of Democratic Disunity in the morning.
It smells like.... victory!
Is it me, or has Lauer gotten less "moonbatty" since Katie Couric left?
Signs point to yes!
Thanks GLGB. Makes one think the Today Show may be surrendering also...... to the truth.
I would trust these sunni terrorists about as far as I can throw Ali-Gore.
It will be just another lie but that is what Democrats do best, lie, lie, and gain lie.
Horrible thought...if the war in Iraq is finally on the wane, we're winning and the MSM admits it...wouldn't it be easier for Hillary to get the nomination? (Soccer moms would vote for her if they weren't worried about terrorism, but they wouldn't like the dem tax hikes at all.)
I refuse to try to find the black cloud on the silver lining.
