And a Happy Monday to all. Time to take it down a notch, get in the wrong frame of mind for the work week, be prepared to do your least and worst, or at least your bare minimum
Yes, it is arrogance that the Democrats have been showing, believing that they speak for all Americans with their plans for cut and run
Democrats on Sunday’s political talk shows pursued a theme that the United States should not be the referee in Iraq’s civil war and showed no sign of giving ground on troop withdrawals.
"This is the American people’s fight. They asked us to send a message to the president," New York Democratic Rep. Charles Rangel, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, said on CBS’s "Face the Nation" program. "… We’ve got to shake that White House until the people of the United States are heard."
"We hope that he would be sophisticated enough to come up with an international solution," he said. "But the people that elected us said, bring our troops home. Enough is enough … There is no victory in sight. It’s a civil war and we don’t have the wherewithal to resolve that major problem."
Ah, the old sophisticated slur. I guess he wants John Kerry’s global test to see when the United States can defend herself. Not quite sure how we can have an international solution when the Democrats have been doing everything they can over the past four years to undercut the President and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Who would want to get involved, when all they see is bad news?
Meanwhile, the Silk Pony speaks
Former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina told host George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s "This Week" that congressional Democrats should not negotiate with Mr. Bush over a troop-withdrawal provision in a war-funding bill.
"I think that America has asked the Democratic leadership in the Congress to stand firm, and that’s exactly what I’m saying they should do," he said.
Mr. Edwards, who places third in most Democratic primary polls, has made his demand for a troop withdrawal a centerpiece of his presidential campaign. He released a commercial in Washington last week suggesting that Democrats continue to send the current war-funding bill to the White House, even if they don’t have the votes to override a presidential veto.
Making surrender the centerpiece of his campaign? Must make George Washington proud.
Let’s see how another Presidential contender thinks. When asked by Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday about
Ayman al-Zawahiri, the number two Al Qaida leader, says the bill that you Democrats sent the president is proof of the American defeat in Iraq. And we’ll talk about the details in a moment.
But does your party run the risk of being seen by the American people, as they were after Vietnam, as soft on national security?
DODD: Not at all here. Again, this is a civil war going on in Iraq. This is not the United States versus Al Qaida. It’s Shia versus Sunnis tearing each other apart. It’s gone on for centuries, but particularly here right now.
The idea that this is a winnable conflict by the United States — every military leader from the very outset have said this is not a situation where there’s a military victory for us here.
So the point has arrived, I think, for all of us that the status quo is unacceptable and that we should begin redeploying our troops.
WALLACE: … Here you have Zawahiri in a video — he seems to think that Al Qaida has a stake in this fight.
DODD: Well, they may think that, but I’m not going to let my foreign policy be decided by Mr. al-Zawahiri. Obviously, he’s playing his game here.
I’ve cut a little bit here and there, would highly recommend read the nuaced calls for surrender from Mr. Dodd, as well as his denial of Al Qaeda in Iraq. No time to upload the video this morning, but you can watch it at Fox News, in the videos section.
I just have to wonder, if we shouldn’t let our foreign policy be determined by the man who really runs Al Qaeda, who should we let it be dictated by?
