Democrats Owe General David Petraeus a Formal Public Apology
By John Lillpop
December 2. 2007
To the utter and complete dismay of the Democrat party and its metaphorical bedmates at MoveOn.Org and in the mainstream media, it now appears as though the surge is working.
Repeat: As of now, it looks as though conditions in Iraq are turning in favor of the U.S.-led coalition.
Far from being lost as declared by Senator Harry Reid in a binge of wishful thinking, this war may actually be winnable.
That great news for those who oppose terrorism is the cause of wide spread anxiety among Democrats. Nothing causes liberals to break out in cold sweats quicker the prospect of a military victory in Iraq, particularly when that W is posted by the American team.
Just last September, General David Petraeus and his staff warned Democrats that things were getting better, and that even more progress could be expected as the surge continued to unfold.
But Democrats would have none of that.
After all, General Petraeus is only a highly decorated military professional who spent most of 2007 "on the ground" in Iraq, managing coalition forces.
What could he possibly know about fighting and winning a war?
Besides, General Petraeus reports to the commander-in-chief, who just happens to be President George W. Bush. That fact alone would make it impossible to trust or believe Petraeus, the U.S. Constitution notwithstanding.
Instead, the brain trust of the Democrat party elected to impugn the good name and honor of General Petraeus based on an outrageous attack ad by goof balls at MoveOn.Org.
That ad was so anti-American that the New York Times decided to partially underwrite it by providing MoveOn.Org with a discounted price.
Since General Petraeus presented his report in September, things in Iraq have gotten progressively worse. For terrorists and Democrat politicians, that is.
For America and patriotic Americans, things there are getting better and better.
So much so that even the fog of dementia under which John Murtha has floated has started to lift.
"I think the surge is working, but that's only one element," said Murtha, who chairs the defense appropriations subcommittee. "And the surge is working for a couple of different reasons. And one reason is the increase in troops." *
Adding to the dismay of folks named Pelosi, Reid, Boxer, Kennedy, Clinton, Obama, Murtha, and the like is the fact that the war is becoming less and less of an issue to voters who will go to the polls in eleven months.
A vital lesson may be brewing for liberals: While Americans dislike war, we like winning even more.
In the meantime, honorable Democrats, if there are any; owe General Petraeus a Public Apology.

Don’t hold your breath....
You really expect them to apologize? They are a bunch of socialist’s and wouldn’t admit a mistake if their life depended on it. Our fathers and grandfathers must be rolling over in their graves. What an insult to those that fought and died for this country.
That apology will come right after the one to McCarthy.
Democrats don’t have the class to apologize.
When hell freezes over...
Being liberal means never having to say you're sorry.
Of course, being Liberal means never having to face reality AND never having to tell the truth either, but everyone knows that.
Owe it? Yes they do.
Pay their Debt? They Never will. They Have no Honor.
BTTT! Great post!
Exactly. The Democrat party still hopes to secure defeat by cutting funding for our troops.
That ad was so anti-American that the New York Times decided to partially underwrite it by providing MoveOn.Org with a discounted price.
Enemedia. Can you believe this?
When I read thru it the 2nd time I caught that bit about the NYSLimes partially funding that BetrayUs Ad — that’s utterly disgusting! And they pretend that they are not biased? It’s anti-American BS like that that is costing the newspapers their circulation.
Exactly. We can expect that apology at just about the same time we receive their apology for propping up the Soviet Union for 70 years.
Ha! Yeah sure. Democrats never apologize for their shameless lies.
It’s what makes Democrats the scumbags they are.
You’re both right on the money!
Thanks for the post, Smooth.
