Dems don't want success in Iraq

By Brent McCarthy

The biased liberal media will not report the success of the troop surge. Our troops have the terrorists on the run. This is not good news for Democrats who were banking on the defeat of our troops to put their candidate in the White House. The push is on to bring about the defeat of our troops before the election, the gloves are off, and they want to cut off funding.
Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-ND, (after condemning Limbaugh for defending our troops) is now leading the charge for defeat. He wants “redeployment.” Just like “comprehensive immigration reform” is a code for “amnesty,” “redeployment” is a code for “surrender.” Our troops don’t need to go anywhere else to fight terrorists, there are plenty in Iraq and more arrive daily.
Our troops were sent reinforcements, it turned the tide. There is safety in numbers so troop casualties are down. The sad truth is that Democrats want troop numbers reduced so that the media will be reporting increased troop casualties by election season. This is what they desperately want when they say they want to “reduce troop levels in Iraq.” It’s not about money. Compared to what we spend on entitlements, the cost of the war is pennies.
We know that many in the most self absorbed generation will never understand. This is after all the generation that was so scared of its own shadow that it caused the defeated of our brave troops in Vietnam from home and then spit on them when they returned. When the men and women in Iraq today signed up for the military, they knew what was going on. They watch the news. They knew they would end up over there. They were not drafted. They believe in the cause. Unlike its predecessor, this is a brave and noble generation. Let’s tip our hats to them, give credit where credit is due and give them the funding and support they deserve.
Contact Byron Dorgan today and tell him that we support our troops, and expect him to set aside the needs of his party and start supporting them also.
