Dan Calabrese is so right but Reid and Pelosi haven't a clue, and that's scary.
The only vote that I know of on the war was the race involving Senator Lieberman. We now who won that one.
The voters put Reid and Pelosi into power, again and again and again. I guess we get what we deserve.
I’m still waiting for Dingy Harry Reid to tell us who won, since he’s convinced we lost.
I think it’s crazy how the Dems, through the MSM are the ones that started “telling” us that it’s hopeless, we’re losing, the war is illegal, blah, blah, blah... -pounding this into us daily. THEN they turn around and declare that “The people have spoken! We’re only following what the people are saying!”
How any of them can sleep at night is beyond me.
A good summary! Remarkably clear and concise.
The “new” demo’s in the house ALL ran against repubbie’s by claiming defense-issues (many being chosen from former military delibeately to present that facade!) and NOT by demanding immediate surrender to the terrorists.
It is the only issue on which Democrats ran.
Americans voted for defeat. Really.
The military gets it. A wounded vet I met says the most important thing to do now is get out quickly, since the military effort does not have the support of the people. He doesn't want to lose any more buddies to a war the Democrats are committed to losing, and were voted into office for the purpose of losing.
It is wrong to lose a war on purpose. But it is a political fact that the voters want us to leave Iraq. The defeatist party was elected. Let them defund the troops and we'll all suffer the consequences. Get on with it.
“Reid and Pelosi may wield the gavels on Capitol Hill, but Bush still decides America’s role in the world. That means America still seeks victory, which shouldn’t perplex anyone. The fact it perplexes Reid and Pelosi says everything about them.”
Bears repeating.
Reid correctly discerned that the voters were not smart enough to see though the Democratic lies and therefore needed the MSM and the Dems to make decisions for "the voters".
Calabrese is like Novak. They couldn’t foresee that the Democrats would take a paper-thin majority and run with it. A confident Republican leadership in the Senate would not let them get away with it but we can see what we have when Trent Lott is back in as #2.
Should America loose the war in Iraq?
Should America win the war in Iraq?
Has America lost the war in Iraq?
Ain't gonna happen. No such poll will be taken(or at least reported) by the DB/MS media.
That's because "America loves a winner and will not tolerate a loser"- George C. Scott as General George S. Patton
bttt
Well, Saddam is dead.
The Baathists have been removed.
Whatever happens
from this point forward,
there's no reason not to say
we've already won.
“To the extent that Iraq was an issue in the war, where does Reid get off suggesting that the voters were calling for retreat from Iraq when they put the Democrats in charge? This is certainly not what the Democrats said they were going to do during the campaign, when they continually denied they wanted to abandon Iraq.”
Anyone paying attention could have read between the lines.
The democrat congress is the only group that has decided to lose in Iraq. This is very different from saying mistakes have been made.
