“Stabbed in the back” is effective rhetoric. It should be repeated endlessly during the debate on war funding.

It could be broadened as well. Afterall, Dems stabbed the Black Hawk Down boys the back during the 90s, Nicaraguan Contras in the 80s, South Vietnamese in the 70s, Cuban Freedom fighters in the 60s, and the nationalist Chinese in the 50s.

Iraqis will be their latest victims.

You could go back further to the Copperheads of the 1860s--if the Democrats had won the 1864 election, the Civil War would probably have ended with a peace treaty between the U.S. and the Confederate States of America.

The Democrats' tactics in 2007 have been less like the mythical "stab in the back" of 1918 and more like the 23 stabs in the front, back, and sides Julius Caesar experienced on the Ides of March.
