TEMECULA, Calif. -- As top Democrats address their national convention in Denver, they will propose "ending" Operation Iraqi Freedom, demand a speedy withdrawal of U.S. forces there, and insist that "Bush lied, and people died."
What they will not do is apologize for their nearly universal failure in judgment regarding President Bush's spring 2007 Surge of 20,000 troops into Iraq. Widespread Democratic defeatism and lack of faith in our GIs' ability to win gouged a gap between their forecasts of doom yesterday and Iraq's far sunnier outlook today. With few exceptions, Democrats got this one dead wrong.
"I am not persuaded that 20,000 additional troops in Iraq is (sic) going to solve the sectarian violence there," Sen. Barack Obama, D -Ill., said on Jan. 10, 2007. "In fact, I think it will do the reverse."
Not so.
Thanks to the bravery of U.S. GIs and valiant Iraqi soldiers, Iraq is increasingly tranquil. Sectarian killing essentially has ended, and bloodshed has plunged. American fatalities have plummeted from 66 in July 2007 to five last month.

Crickets!
When has a Deomcrat apologized for anything?
Did Ted even apologize for leaving MaryJo Kopechne to suffocate in a submerged car?
As the saying goes, “YEAAAHHH! And monkeys might fly out of my butt!”
Demonrats never do anything wrong and never make mistakes dontchaknow.
Their incessant and divisive comments about why our troops should not be in Iraq and their subversive promises to pull out before the war is won--only served to ENCOURAGE our enemies!
An apology is due from Obama and all democrats for having given "AID-AND-COMFORT" to our enemies during time of war.
That 'aid-and-comfort' was not only unconscionable,,,,
it was treasonous!
Japanese train station? Nope, the U.S. Senate.
I like to remind people of Public Law 105-338 The Iraq Liberation Act. It was passed by the House and Senate and signed into law by the President. It called for regime change in Iraq, institution of Democracy in Iraq, and a tribunal to try Saddam Hussein for genocide. This law was a belligerent act by the United States government. The whereas paragraphs provided the justifications. None were about oil. It became law in 1998.
I found the article at HumanEvents.com and was going to post it, but you beat me to it.
It’s an excellent article by Deroy Murdock. He does a good job of documenting the Democratic record of trying to stop the surge. Given more space, he could have written more. Was it Congressman Murtha who pursued a “slow bleed” strategy for the American military?
