Why Must Democrats Always Meet With the Wartime Enemy?
Yesterday's news was disgusting and theacherous but shocking? ...No!
This news yesterday that democrats were meeting with Hamas terrorists on the sly is disgusting but not so shocking:
Sources close to the Hamas-led government claimed that Hamas representatives recently held talks with officials from the US Democratic Party at a secret location.
This, of course, isn't the first time that democrats have held secret meetings with the enemy during wartime...
This certainly is nothing new for the democrats.
1864- During the Civil War democrats often met secretly with the Confederacy.
A democratic pamphlet handed out during the Civil War. (Wikipedia) Dartemis explains:
Copperheads nominally favored the Union but they strongly opposed the war, for which they blamed abolitionists, and they demanded immediate peace and resisted the draft laws. They wanted Lincoln and the Republicans ousted from power, seeing the president as a tyrant who was destroying American republican values with his despotic and arbitrary actions.
Some Copperheads tried to persuade Union soldiers to desert. They talked of helping Confederate prisoners of war seize their camps and escape. They sometimes met with Confederate agents and took their money. The Confederacy encouraged their activities whenever possible.
1970- John Kerry secretly meets with representatives from the Vietcong in France while the Vietnam War is raging in southeast Asia.
Front Page reported:
John and Julia Kerry travel to Paris on a private trip. Kerry meets with Madam Win Thi Binh, the Foreign Minister of the Provisional Revolutionary Government of Vietnam (PRG) -- the political wing of the Vietcong -- and with representatives of Hanoi who were in Paris for the peace talks.
1983- Senator Ted Kennedy secretly offered the Soviet KGB assistance in bringing down Ronald Reagan in the upcoming US election. HotAir reported:
That document is a memo regarding an offer made by Sen. Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts via former Senator John Tunney, both Democrats, to the General Secretary of the Communist Party, USSR, Yuri Andropov, in 1983. The offer was to help the Soviet leadership, military and civilian, conduct a PR campaign in the United States as President Ronald Reagan sought re-election. The goal of the PR campaign would be to cast President Reagan as a warmonger, the Soviets as willing to peacefully co-exist, and thereby turn the electorate away from Reagan. It was a plan to enlist Soviet help, and use the American press, in unseating an American president.

1985- Senator John Kerry and Senator Tom Harkin during the Cold War met with the communist radical Manuel Orgega in Nicaragua. Hacer.org reported:
You will recall the 1980s, and that decade's fierce debates over Central America policy. At the heart of these debates was Nicaragua: the Sandinistas, Castro, and the Soviet Union versus the Contras and the United States (or rather, not all of the United States: the Reagan administration, in particular). Kerry was an important player in all this. He was part of a group derided by Republicans as "'Dear Comandante' Democrats," for they would address letters to Daniel Ortega, the Sandinista No. 1, "Dear Comandante." ("But that's his title," they would plead, not unreasonably.)
Only months after he was sworn in, Kerry joined Harkin on an infamous trip to Managua, to meet with Comandante Ortega.
2002- Senator Jay Rockefeller took a trip by himself (his own admission) before the start of the war in Iraq and secretly told Syria who is allied with Saddam Hussein that the United States was going to war with Iraq. From National Review:
I took a trip by myself in January of 2002 to Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Syria, and I told each of the heads of state that it was my view that George Bush had already made up his mind to go to war against Iraq — that that was a predetermined set course which had taken shape shortly after 9/11.

** And, Iraqis are expected to takeover control of security & combat operations within the next year! **
Excuse me... But, wasn't that our goal all along? ...Wasn't ousting the brutal dictator, bringing freedom and democracy, and securing the nation until the country can successfully take over operations the goal for Iraq?
I realize the Bush Administration has not done a fantastic job getting the message out, but isn't this what we set out to accomplish?
We didn't promise Iraq a rose garden, just freedom from a brutal tyrant and democracy!
The Iraqi forces already control a majority of the country.
Oh... And, it has nothing to do with talking with the mullacracy next door!

Yhello!

Pearl Harbor Day!

Hi folks; just watching the Bush/Blair conference.
Will be in for the first hour.
Me too, UK. I am so grateful to your PM for mentioning the need to get Shalit released.
Too early--Got lots of work to do. Customers screaming for parts.
Later for sure, though, LOL!
Morning. Thanks for the ping.
I hear Bush is kicking butt and taking names.
Yes, very good!
Here are a couple of things I hope Limbaugh gets to...
Hamas met delegation of Democrats (according to source in the Hamas-led Palestinian Authority)
The Pelosi-Conyers Team:Helping Terrorists and Illegal Aliens
Well, so far, the ISG is catching hell from the right.
I think Bush is on the same page as us on this.
Yes that was good.
After a tentative start I enjoyed W giving it to that smug git from the BBC.
