I Stand by My Comment That If Democrats Win, the Insurgents Win

Wednesday, October 25, 2006 By John Gibson

E-mailers are hammering me today for saying something provocative yesterday.

I said: "If Democrats who hate Bush and who hate the war in Iraq win, the insurgents win. I'm sorry, but it's true. America will set a date to get out and jihad will have carried the day."

I'll repeat: Sorry, but it's true.

Democrats like John Kerry and John Murtha want a date to get out, and they are going to be difficult to deny if the Dems win. It isn't going to be reasonable to expect the moderate Dems to hold off the wild-eyed lefties if the wild-eyed lefties are the ones who mobilize the left to get out and vote. They are going to insist on their precious withdrawal date, and they will get it. And the insurgents will have won a great victory.

snip

What's so hard to figure out about this?

Democrats — OK, correction — leftists want America out of Iraq and so does bin Laden's insurgency. Iraqis may want us to stay to protect them from each other but that is not going to matter to the "let's redeploy now" crowd.

Look, I understand why people are unhappy with the war and don't like the way it has turned out. But there has to be some perspective here....

Not a thing. For most of us, anyway.

There is an article on Best of the Web from a sergeant in Baghdad, who says that what we're doing is not working, but pulling out would be worse than Somalia. He says that what is needed is to go back and take over the government of Iraq and increase the troops until they can retrain the Iraqi military, making sure that they fully understand where their loyalty lies.

Dems are no longer the loyal opposition, but a disloyal aider and abetter of America's enemies.

I'm still not so sure why everyone thinks the war is going so badly. Do they think that Germany, Austria, and Japan were up and running peacefully by 1946?

Because they're always too stupid and whiny to come up with any solutions of their own?

"I Stand by My Comment That If Democrats Win, the Insurgents Win (John Gibson)"

And he is absolutely correct. The leftist Democrats taking charge right now would be a disaster for America and the world.

Crawling over broken glass here if I have to to vote Republican!

I suspect Bush is trying to get things all tidied up by 2008 (for obvious reasons) and is perhaps trying to go too fast.

That said, we need to take out Iran and Syria.

And if the democrats lose, they will riot in the streets

You think the WTO riots were bad?

Just wait until they see they didn't win the house or Senate back.

There needs to be a 5 second commercial, aired 50 times a day (TV and Radio) - "Who Would The Terrorists Vote For?"

Enough said.

The Socialist Democrats and the terrorists both want to destroy Democracy.

He's right. But it sure would be nice to get this thing over with and our guys home again. I truly don't see an end in sight as long as the Iraqis aren't that committed. They have to want liberty more than life itself with every fiber of their being. Our Revolutionary War fighters had less to work with, but prevailed. Ya gotta wanna. I'm not sure the Iraqis wanna.

-----
Because the DemoRats must side against whomever is in power. And if you have a President and Congressional majorities that are supportive of America, its defense, its Constitution --- then you must be against those things to compete. So you must be anti-American, but that is easy for the libs, because they are.

Circular logic??

Unfortunately Jim, there are more than a few wobbly republicans that aren't much better.
