I agree entirely. This is the worst part about last night's results. Much of the rest of the damage the Dems will do can be repaired, but if we leave Iraq, it will be taken over by whichever Islamofascist dictator can defeat his competitors, and the Iraqi people's hope for democracy will be lost. And the world's trust in the U.S. will be gone. Oppressed people everywhere will decide--correctly--that America cannot be relied on, and that it's useless to fight for their own liberty. It will be 100 years before that lesson fades.
Shoot, I don't want to sound despairing. I hope I'm totally wrong about all this. But the news about Rumsfeld's resignation is a severe blow. What must our troops be thinking?
Were Military votes counted? I never heard. No talk of all the fraud that went on yesterday either.
If we leave Iraq expect more attacks on our own soil, the loser terrorists mean business. They won't stop if we leave, they will come here. They will see our leaving as victory and they will become more enthusiatic in their quest to take over America. The dems will help them do this.
