Liberals Need American Soldiers To Die

On April 12th Harry Reid said the following: "we are going to pick up Senate seats as a result of this war." Around the same time Chuck Schumer smirked "the war in Iraq is a lead weight attached to their ankle." If the war was going really, really well would it be a lead weight around the ankle of the Administration and the Republicans? Of course not, so Liberals need the war to go really badly for them to win the seats Reid thinks they will and for the War to be the deadweight Schumer wants it to be.

The events this week in the Senate only highlight the fact that to Liberals, the War is a political opportunity the like of which they have not had in a long time. They don't care if we win. They don't want us to win. They don't care about American troops; the more that die, the better for them. They don't care what the consequences will be if we lose; from a political or military perspective or the effect on foreign or domestic policy. The only thing they want is a victory in the 2008 election and they will do anything to get that, even if it means contributing to America losing this war and our soldiers being killed.

Back in May they deliberately delayed funding so that they could make empty political gestures like waiting to send the funding Bill to Bush on the 4th anniversary of the "mission accomplished" speech. This past week they pulled another empty political stunt in the form of an all night session in the Senate. They knew the Bill could not get enough votes to succeed and if it did, they knew it would be vetoed, just like the funding Bill in May. But they went ahead anyway regardless of any demoralising effect on our troops or the encouragement it gave to our enemy. Dick Durbin actually had the cojones to stand there and wax lyrical about the fact that families of soldiers had sleepless nights so it would be no sacrifice for the Senate to have a sleepless night. He said this as a cot was being set up for him to take a nap. What does keep soldier's families awake at night is the fact that we have a Senator that has done as much as Al-Qaeda to cause American casualties and who has also accused them of being no better than Stalin, Hitler or Pol Pot.

The bottom line is; Liberals have a stake in America being defeated. That means that the more American fatalities, the better for them. If you have any political party in your country that sees the defeat of your country as a political opportunity, that party is probably not good for the survival of that country. Every little bit of good news coming out of Iraq has been ignored by the mainstream Liberal media and ignored by Democrats in Congress. They have constantly undermined the President and our troops non-stop since the run up to the 2006 elections, by the way they campaigned and the way the 2008 candidates are campaigning now.

When the Iraq Survey Group issued its final report, the Democrats were full of "listen to the report, follow the recommendations". The buzz phrase was a "change of course". The report also recommended a troop surge to stabilise parts of Iraq. Bush decided to implement this and it has been attacked ever since. The Democrats asked for a change of course and they got it. When Bush decided to do this he appointed General Petraeus to oversee it. He was confirmed by the Senate. He told the country that it would take time; not only to get the 20,000 surge troops in place, but for them to start to make an impact. He said it could not really be judged until the Fall.

Before even the first 10,000 troops had arrived in Iraq, the Democrats were calling the surge a failure. About the time when they actually started the enhanced patrols, Harry Reid announced that the War was "lost" and that Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Pace and General Petraeus were "incompetent". I wonder what pool of military expertise Reid was dipping into to come up with that gem? Maybe that vast pool of military experience and background that Dick Durbin floats around in? They have never given the surge a chance and they never intended to. They don't want the surge to be successful, it is not in their interest. If it is good for Bush and this country, it is bad for them. Even now they have a constant and consistent chorus of "the surge is not working, the surge has failed" even when it is nowhere near its conclusion. They want this idea fixed in the minds of the public so that when the report comes of how effective it has been it will be deemed a failure.

Liberals like to continually remind us of the Presdient's poll ratings and how bad they are. They conveniently forget to mention that the figures for Congress, the Democrat-controlled Congress, are lower than Bush. Congress currently has a 19% approval rating, with Reid himself at 12% for his performance as leader of the Senate. The country might be tired of the Iraq War and want our troops home, but they most certainly do not approve of how Congress has tried to usurp the authority of the President to control the military during time of war. Who would you trust to make military decisions based on advice from the Pentagon, George W. Bush or Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid?

Reid went even further than the empty, pathetic political gesture of the all night session earlier this week. In a little-reported act of spite for his spurned victory he blocked a vote on a Bill that would have increased pay for those military personnel on active duty in Iraq and a Bill called the John Doe Bill. This Bill would have prevented lawsuits from being filed against members of the public who reported suspicious behaviour to authorities. Liberals would rather support bottom feeders like John Edwards than public spirited members of the public preventing attacks. It seems ironic that recently it has been those same members of the public that saved us from attack at Fort Dix and in England a few weeks ago.

We need to support politicians that support our troops. We don't need to elect people that undermine our military, especially in time of war. If Liberals do gain the Presidency in the 2008 elections, we will know that they did it on the backs of dead American soldiers, in their graves because of the support Liberals gave to our enemy. Shame on them and shame on us if we elect them.

Nor do the Dems care about the millions of Iraqis who will die when the US troops are forced to prematurely withdraw nor the hundreds if not thousands of Americans who will die in terrorist attacks in the US because the Dems have emboldened them.
