... then I will promote victory and the wonderful beacon of hope which is America. If the American leftie wants to undermine their country, I as a conservative European-born (but probably American soon !) support your country at war. Look at the video, open the audio, the music is great. God bless America.

LEGISLATION passed by congressional Democrats last week would force US troops to abandon Iraq beginning Oct. 1. Though a veto was foreordained, the vote was great news for the jihadis in Iraq, their second such morale boost in a week. On April 19, Senate majority leader Harry Reid had run up a white flag, declaring that "this war is lost and the surge is not accomplishing anything" -- music to the ears of Al Qaeda and its allies .

"This unfortunate statement is both inaccurate and damaging ... [and] can have no effect but to demoralize the brave men and women who are honorably fulfilling their mission in Iraq," said Rep. Duncan Hunter of California in a letter to Mr. Reid. Mr. Hunter, an Army Ranger in the Vietnam War whose son, a Marine, is returning to Iraq for his third combat tour, wrote that his friendship...
