Democratic babbling (Dems to U.S. Troops: It's not too late to lose! But time's running out.)

It was embarrassing to watch Democrats rally in support of Bill Clinton during the Monica affair, and their rush to defend his perjury before a federal grand jury and his most famous lie, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman," before a worldwide television audience. Continues...

Dems to U.S. Troops: It's not too late to lose! But time's running out.

Reuters reports that "President George W. Bush faces a critical test this week with Iraqi elections that mark a defining moment in his campaign to convince Americans to support his Iraq war strategy."

Iraqi elections. Bush faces "critical test." When I read this, I figured that although no one could know for sure what Iraqi voters would do, I had no doubt Bush would be re-elected. Oops! Correction: Bush was not on the ballot. But he may as well have been, the way this week's elections were being depicted. Same ol', 'Bush's finished . . . he's following in daddy's footsteps . . . watch him get flung out on his ears!' crap the MSM kept feeding us before Bush gave horseface a good horsewhipping on Election Day.

The critical problem Bush's media enemies faced this week in Iraq was the same problem they faced throughout last year's presidential campaign: They didn't have a candidate. The idea they're going to win this war in Iraq against Bush is an idea that is just plain wrong. Not with Zarqawi as the face of the "opposition." Now, had the liberal media chosen someone else to champion, someone less inclined to blow up weddings for kicks, who knows.

Oh, sure, Zarqawi could win in a walk in Hollywood, but in Iraq, not a snowball's chance (though I think a final Zogby poll had Zarqawi getting 311 electoral votes). Which is why you didn't see any Iraqi politician happy to be seen with Zarqawi. Got snubbed even by Sunni politicians. No heavy campaign schedule for Zarqawi, who, like Cindy Sheehan, calls the elections a Bush-neocon-Zionist plot.

But it's more than just about personalities and candidates. It's about the power of an idea. The idea of liberty. Freedom. Democracy. Self-government.

Bush faced a "critical test" last January with Iraqi elections to pick a provisional, interim government. "Analysts" dismissed as fantasy the possibility that Iraqis would turn out to vote in large numbers for Bush's Neocon Junta. The polling places will be deserted. Too much violence. Iraqis won't dare cross Zarqawi. Those who dare vote will be blown to bits. Then there will be a civil war!

Didn't turn out that way. Iraqis went to the polls in mammoth numbers to vote for Bush's "crusader conspiracy." Violence was minimal. The widely reported civil war failed to materialize. The January 30 elections were dubbed the Purple Finger Revolution. It was the power of ideas at work. As Bush says, the desire for liberty and human freedom is universal. Millions of Iraqi voters had proven him right that day.

"Analysts" then said: Ah, the vote was the easy part! Now comes the "real challenge."

Bush faced a "critical test" after the provisional government was elected. The job of the provisional government was to write a governing constitution, and have it ready for a nationwide referendum by October 15. "Analysts" dismissed as neocon fantasy the possibility Iraqis would reach a consensus on a new document. Iraqis are too divided. Kurds will never agree with Sunnis, Sunnis will never agree with Shi'ites on language. Then there will be a civil war!

Well, again, didn't turn out that way. Kurds, Shi'ites and Sunnis set aside their differences long enough to reach a consensus on language.

"Analysts" then said: Ah, writing the constitution -- easy part! Now comes the "real challenge."

Bush faced a "critical test" in the October 15 referendum. "Analysts" dismissed as fantasy the possibility Iraqi voters would endorse the new constitution. Sunnis will vote it down by large enough margins and in enough provinces to defeat it. Then there will be a civil war!

Needless to say, didn't turn out that way. The constitution got a sizable vote of confidence from Iraqi voters. Turnout was higher than expected. The widely reported bloodbath failed to materialize.

"Analysts" had a ready explanation: Ah, the referendum -- easy part! Now comes the "real challenge."

So now we come to this week's landmark election. Iraqis, braving bombs, bullets and insults from Howard Dean, went to the polls to choose the first freely-elected four-year government in their nation's history. Campaign posters were everywhere. Roughly 500 parties and alliances. About 7,700 candidates ran for office, each vying for a seat in parliament. Sunnis boycotted the January elections. They didn't boycott this one. Turnout is estimated to have reached 70%.

So far this year, in three successful national elections, Iraqis have proven Bush right, Democrats wrong. Democracy in the Middle East. No wonder Democrats can't stop shrieking about "prisoner abuse" -- U.S. troops allegedly "mistreating" their guys.

The MSM effort to buck up the terrorists and give them the hope that by bravely blowing up weddings and schools they would drive out the U.S. has failed. And backfired. It's increasingly clear Zarqawi lacks a coherent plan for success!

Here at home, Democrats are more split on Iraq than ever. Split down the middle. Half of the party wants quick surrender, the other half says wait another 6 months, then surrender. (Dems to U.S. troops: It's not too late to lose -- but time is running out!)

And Bush is on a roll. He's back on offense, delivering a series of speeches as only a visionary can deliver. Bush is a bold, hard-charging leader who challenges the status quo and who never wavers. Even in the darkest hours, Bush never wavered. This President doesn't know the meaning of the word. There's no question who commands the stage, who's setting the agenda. Shrewd, quick witted, resourceful and clever, Bush keeps beating the Democrats at their game.

On Thursday, we witnessed yet another giant step toward freedom in the Middle East, and another major blow to freedom's enemies. God bless our President, God bless our troops, and God bless the United States of America!

And that's...

Sunday's news shows: "Forget about that election we said was so important, what about those wiretaps???? Who is saying the 'I' word for Impeachment? We'll ask our panel of liberals!"

[Lurker]

Another good one JH. I really like the way you write.

I do wonder which one is higher up the scale, a 'real challenge' or a 'critical test'.

Inquiring minds want to know.

BUMP and goodnight

BUMP.

Well, its way past time for me to get offline

[King Prout]

lotta value in those two cents, JH2

[M. Thatcher]

Just excellent.

[backlash]

Great stuff, as usual. Love your work. Too bad the Senate didn't read it, maybe some of them would have stiffened up and voted for the Patriot Act renewal.

I remember the skin prickle of awe and the steadily mounting excitement and glee I felt two years ago when over a two week period all of my fifty years of experience and reading, all that hard thinking (hard work, that, at least for me) started to come together and the President's strategy became clear. The pieces clicked together one after the other and there before me was a masterwork.

It is time to be less obscure with my language (only "less obscure", the thing can still go badly) and to congratulate the Democrat Party and the Big Leftist Media on being such a great help in our effort. Zarqawi and his ilk focused on the Democrat raving lunacy and built his plans around the Leftist MSM. Now he knows what a fool he is.

Now it is clear to all (I see that you have understood for a long time, John) how this affair was planned and executed. Never once did the President lie, never once did he smoke screen, and never once falter. Let us leave despicable and dishonorable behavior to the enemy. Domestic and foreign.

Don't forget, folks, this thing is not over yet. The Left's rage will come soon enough. Victory is in sight but will be lost if we falter.

If we play our cards right (just guess who is the best card player I have ever seen work) the Left will collapse into self-doubt and depression lasting even possibly for decades. How sweet, oh, how sweet it is!

Bush would have had a spectacular week had he not caved on the McCain "grab the headlines" torture bill. As it is, he did well with the elections, but still appears spineless and weak. (I voted for him twice, would have to really think about it if I had it to do it over)

[dancusa]

The MSM will now steer the spin on the Sunday shows from positiveness of the Iraqi election to negativeness of Patriot Act. You can be rest assured the New York Times story about eavesdropping on suspected terrorist will also play big.

If the dems had a majority in the House they be pushing for impeachment of Bush for ordering wiretaps on the bad guys by now.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, JOHN!

Thank you for another great essay..I liked the article, too!

[marktwain]

Nice. Well written. I like it.

Good work, John.

[IamConservative]

I believe that title may be the most succinct and accurate description of the Dem behavior I have seen. Nice summation followed by some edgy commentary. Nicely done.

[RobFromGa]

Another fine piece of work, JH2.

Merry Christmas, FRiend!

That strategery is really something, isn't it? The President is far smarter than the democrats realize, and in fact smarter than some on this board will give him credit for.

John, thanks for a wonderful article. If I don't talk to you again before next weekend, have a very Merry Christmas!
