WASHINGTON, 2007, Jan. — Lt. Gen. David H. Petraeus, President Bush’s new choice as the top commander in Iraq, told senators on Tuesday that the new military strategy to secure Baghdad can work, and that he had asked that the additional troops the administration promised be deployed as quickly as possible.

* Senator John McCain asked Petraeus if approval of a Senate resolution assailing Mr. Bush’s new strategy could hurt the morale of American troops, the general replied, “It would not be a beneficial effect, sir.”

* Senator Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut asked if such a resolution would also “give the enemy some encouragement” by suggesting that the American people are divided, General Petraeus replied, “That’s correct, sir.”

Isn't it something that Lieberman is the closest Senator to the old Democrats who fought the vicious regimes and armies of German and Japanese totalitarians and who would surely have recognized the need to fight a cult that wants to destroy the West?

Maybe the Democratic Party should steal the Oldsmobile jingle.
