I remember that cartoon from a history book. Most of today’s Democrats are neo-copperheads, all right.
All right, folks. We need to get calibrated on this.
We must have 6 mos to 1 year of funding to secure victory. The moonbats are demanding out now. And far far worse, they are demanding no more funding without forcing Bush to capitulate and accept a surrender date. The Democrats finessed that earlier this year by putting non binding “goal” language in the funding bills and establishing benchmarks for the Iraqi government to meet as regards political progress.
The moonbats won’t accept that any longer. Worse, now, the Democrats see that victory is unfolding. Unlike this past spring, they no longer see a situation where Iraq is going to give them big seat wins in 2008, as well as the presidency. They now see a chance that victory in Iraq could humiliate them and lose seats.
A creative compromise has to be found or we are not going to get the victory we must have. Standing firm and “being tough” doesn’t provide the Democrats with any incentive to fund the victory that will cost them seats next year. Thinking caps need to be put on. What can be offered to them to get them to accept and cut their own throats?
