That's was something Russert's round table were attempting to spin. Eugene Robinson said "more and more Americans are seeing a distinction between the War on Terror and the Iraq War. They see the War in Iraq as strictly Bush's war." All the others, including Bob Novak, smugly nodded their heads.
This is the DBM attempt to focus Americans away from Iraq as if we're not fighting terrorists there at all. I have a question for them and anyone stupid enough to fall for this position:
What do they think will happen to the GWOT if we cut and run from Iraq?
Do you really think things will get better for us?
Do you think Al Qaeda won't howl with pleasure and proclaim this as THEIR defeat of the USA?
Do you think this won't embolden the terrorists against us?
Do you really want to destabilize the Middle East, in your frevor to "get" Bush, that you're willing to imperil the USA and the West?
If you get your way in Iraq, how will that help a democrat later in 2008 if the US is considered the loser in the war, and it was your party that ensured this?
Yo, Dems and DBM, you really don't know what you're doing, do you? Actions have consequences. Look before you leap.
One more question for your great list:
Do you reporters ever look at a map, and see the actual location of Iraq, and see the names of all the countries that border Iraq?
I swear, they try to pretend that Iraq is some kind of island somewhere.
