Tony’s 100% right. The Republicans should ceaselessly remind Americans of the cowardice displayed by the Democrats. There are plenty of videos out there that should be used in media ads to keep the true yellow color of the Dems fresh in peoples minds as they try to reverse course as fast as they can.

The Americans favor the power of force,

And it was American bombs and bullets that caused Germany and Japan to repudiate force...would have worked with the Soviet Union too, but, Truman was a little late in recognizing that.

“Disgrace” implies a sense of honor, and dems/Leftists do not as a general rule, have any sense of honor, only a fanatical sense of purpose.

The silly self-serving “analysis” of the writer who disdains the “crude American power” infers that the European penchant for endless ineffectual “talks” is so much more enlightened than actually standing ones ground and being prepared to fight for what one believes in. How truly enlightened and “progressive”. Leftist fantasies are just sooooo cool.

“The Americans favor the power of force, even in its crudest form, which explains why the U.S. military might is so superior to that of all other nations.”

As opposed to ... what? The author should be asked to provide examples of the European alternative and its successes. American force has largely been applied to save European nations when their diplomatic strategy has failed miserably. Furthermore, the US has yet to produce an Anerican equivalent of Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin or Napoleon.

The public must not be permitted to forget these cowardly public statements by the Democrats. It is the job of the Republicans this fall and winter to remorselessly and repeatedly remind the public of what the Democrats were saying this spring. In that disgrace lies the potential for well deserved Democratic Party defeat next November.

A hearty Amen to that!

Democrats cannot EVER be trusted with national security, period.

They proved it in Vietnam... and while they had a generation and a half of younger folks who didn’t see their cowardice first hand who might have been willing to believe otherwise... they have once again shown exactly WHY they can and never should be trusted with national security EVER.

Just as those memories were fading, they showed the truth to a whole new generation once again.

DEMOCRATS NEVER CAN BE TRUSTED WITH NATIONAL SECURITY, PERIOD.

They lack the will, the honesty and the testicular fortitude to EVER do what is right for this nation on that topic.

The original has very little do to with highlighting someone's prior flips in yellow, or even pointing out their more recent flops in some other color.

"The wind has shifted in Washington... The Democrats are still critical of the failed Iraq campaign, but they are no longer opposed to the "War on Terror" in general. It has been accepted, and...the American electorate's biggest criticism of Bush is that he has not been aggressive enough in pursuing terrorist leader Osama bin Laden."

"Indeed, when voters hit the ballot box in November 2008, they...will also ask themselves which of the candidates is sufficiently tough, crafty and brutal to win the multi-front war that the Bush administration has begun."

What this article is telling us (from Germany?) is that the Dems are now beyond the 2007 Murtha Mania and their candidates and shills and will spend from now until November '08 in their FDR/JFK disguises.
(I'd presume that Big Al will continue to haul coals for the eco-fringe so they don't get their feelings hurt).

Our task are not to prove them cowards but to prove them insincere and inadequate to lead in a war that they now concede will continue into the next administration and possibly beyond.

So far Obama is helping us out in advance, and for that: Thanks Hussein.

At the moment, the American electorate's biggest criticism of Bush is that he has not been aggressive enough in pursuing terrorist leader Osama bin Laden.

I would have said he wasn't aggressive enough in controlling the borders.

Good idea Tony, go on the offensive and remind people what the opposition thinks and says. However, we have too many wimps in the GOP now.

[neverdem]

In that disgrace lies the potential for a well-deserved Democratic Party defeat in November 2008.

Let the neoCOMs join the Whigs. We need a patriotic party for the opposition, regardless of Mr. Blankley's wish to play nice.

All real Americans LOVE to fight. :)
