It was obvious from the moment that word started spreading that the troop surge was working that Democrats needed a way to defeat and lessen any good news that might come from Iraq. They have spent a lot of energy in helping the enemy and in trying to paint all things Iraq as bad. They put a lot of stake in the idea that the surge would not work and that they could then get what they wanted with regard to de-funding our troops and bringing them home. They lack the testicular fortitude to just come out and do it without a reason because then they would look weaker on national security than they already do.
Democrats agreed to the surge and agreed to let General Petraeus give a report on the effort before they took up the issue again. When the news from Iraq began to get better and it looked like the surge was working Democrats began to insist that it was not working and that they needed to do something right now, rather than wait to the agreed upon time. Since they got nowhere with that (and since they did not want to interrupt their month long vacation) they shelved it. During the time they have been out of session they, and their minions in the media, have been finding other ways to discredit the effort. They have all begun dissing the report before it has even been given. Idiots like Stolz have declared it a failure and John Kerry (he served in Vietnam) chimed in with his assertion that the surge had failed. The Democrats are in full attack mode and they need desperately to make this look like a failure no matter what because a success would be a bad thing for them. They have already publicly admitted that if the surge is a success it will be a bad thing for their party. As Rush says, if it is good for America, it is bad for the Democrats.
The Democrats have now resorted to calling the report the “Bush Report” in an effort to get their drones, like the boot lickers at the Daily Kos, chiming in unison in hopes that if it is repeated enough people will believe it. The Democrats are basically calling into question the integrity of a four star general officer in the Army, a man who knows better than any of the cut and run Democrats, how to fight an insurgency. The Democrats know no honor and when it comes to their quest for power and their desire for America to lose they will tarnish the good name of anyone, including highly decorated officers, in order to achieve their goals.
They agreed to a time line for the surge and the report and they tried to break it. They declared the surge a failure very early on in order to diminish the positive outcomes we have experienced and now they are questioning the integrity of the military officer who will deliver the report. They have no shame and they need to know our displeasure.
I will be in DC next week with the Gathering of Eagles for Operation Eagle Justice where tens of thousands of us will make our feelings known about the war and the cut and run Democrats who are determined to give our enemies a victory. We will be heard and there will be no doubt in the minds of the people in Congress that we are there and what we expect. There will also be no doubt in the minds of the anti war crowd that they no longer speak without opposition. We told them we were coming in March and then we showed them and they cowered. We showed them time and again and watched as Sheehan ran for cover and we will show them next week that we are here to stay and that they are no longer the voice of America.
I always like these events. It is fun to watch the anti war zealots walk around with their tails between their legs when they realize that they no longer have the market on demonstrations. They seem to lose their toughness when the people they deride are there face to face.
