We Must Lose

We are a bunch of losers and we insist that the military lose too! That’s what the House Democrats declared today with their vote to hamstring the personnel who are actually getting shot at. The Democrats have finally insisted that this conflict be managed just like Vietnam.

They managed to screw that up and they are hell-bent on forcing their defeatism on the rest of America. The facts are that the President is Commander-in-Chief. Nancy Pelosi is not. Harry Reid isn’t either. Ditto for the rest of the French-like party. Ms Pelosi has just publicly stated that the Democrat’s platform is now to surrender first when faced with adversity. No doubt that the spin meisters will charge the administration with pulling out too soon when Iraq devolves into anarchy.

But the Dems aren’t the only ones to blame. There are public figures of all stripes who are believed to be conservative and yet have continually thrown rocks at the president over the Iraq conflict. If you can’t figure out who I’m talking about, think of Bill Reilly, Pat Buchanan, et al.

In my previous post today I linked to Neville Chamberlain’s quest for appeasement. Ms. Pelosi has succeeded in channeling his vision into the Democrat Party. God help us all.
