The Democrat's Magical Thinking by Nancy Morgan Right Bias

Something very strange is happening in the hallowed halls of the old media. From the Washington Post to the New York Times, articles are starting to appear actually acknowledging that the Iraq war may be, gasp, winnable. Even the United Nations went on record, with Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon saying Iraq has made "notable progress" in the security, political and economic fields.

This recent acknowledgment of the obvious has yet to extend to the Democrat Party. Despite the recent CIA assessment that portrayed al-Qaeda as essentially defeated in Iraq and Saudi Arabia, the Democrats continue to cling to the notion that the Iraq war is unwinnable, a quagmire, and a lost cause.

Despite the fact that the he commander of British forces in Iraq announced yesterday that missions by special forces and air strikes by unmanned drones have "decapitated" the Taliban and brought the war in Afghanistan to a "tipping point", Democrats continue their time-worn mantra of U.S defeat, hoping that non stop repetition will continue to let them get away with defining their own reality. A reality totally at odds with the facts. In psychological circles, this is called cognitive dissonance.

Obama's presidential platform continues to rely heavily on snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, as he vows to immediately withdraw American troops from Iraq the second he is elected president. Democrat Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, continues to spin any vestige of positive news from Iraq into either an indictment of the U.S military or a boost to our enemies.

The Democrats look at the world through the prism of an alternate reality. Nancy Morgan calls it the “Democrat’s Magical Thinking”. Of course, if you're an adult, you know there’s no such thing as magic.

Bizarro World. Or George Constanza’s opposite theory of everything.

Excellent comment!

In fact, the comments at FR are such good quality, I’m going to do a story just on the comments here...there’s a treasure trove of them!

Thanx!

"emocrats continue their time-worn mantra of U.S defeat, hoping that non stop repetition will continue to let them get away with defining their own reality."

Of course if Obama actually gets elected, success in the war will have begun on January 20, 2009 and he will be hailed for the next 4 years as a military genius.
