It’s Time To Push Back
Based on this Reuters article, Democrats definitely think that they’ve won the debate on Iraq. Therefore, it’s time to get in their face over the surge.
Murtha hopes to choke off the 4-year-old war in Iraq by placing four conditions on combat funds through September 30. “We’re trying to force a redeployment not by taking money away, by redirecting money,” the Pennsylvania Democrat said.
The Pentagon would have to certify that troops being sent to Iraq are “fully combat ready” with training and equipment; troops must have at least one year at home between combat deployments; combat assignments could not be extended beyond one year, and a “stop-loss” program forcing soldiers to extend their enlistment periods would be prohibited.
“They won’t be able to continue. They won’t be able to do the deployment. They won’t have the equipment, they don’t have the training and they won’t be able to do the work,” Murtha said.
It’s time that true patriots got in Murtha’s grill and told him to shut up. Ever since he abandoned the military and cozied up to Code Pink, he’s been waving the white flag of defeat. He used to have a decent reputation but that disappeared long ago. He’s a hateful old man who’s in the process of single-handedly humiliating our military while handing victory to the terrorists.
What’s worse is that he’s on this push while ignoring the dramatically changing facts on the ground. Murtha is still waving the red flag even though Muqtada al-Sadr, the man inciting the sectarian violence has fled to Iran, Al-Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Ayyub al-Masri has reportedly been captured and al-Masri’s top assistant has been killed. That isn’t even counting the fact that over a dozen of Sadr’s assistants have been rounded up.
Despite the growing pile of evidence that the surge is working, Defeatocrat-in-Chief Murtha is waving his white flag proudly.
If that isn’t bad enough, Harry Reid has suddenly developed enough spine to call for a vote this Saturday:
Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid scheduled a new vote to confront Bush over Iraq.
Dingy Harry is against anything that President Bush is for and for anything that President Bush is opposed to. In fact, his opinion is so flexible that it’s whatever the Democrats’ anti-war special interest groups tell him it is. Reid is a gutless wonder just like Murtha. Pelosi is just as wrong-headed as Reid and Murtha but she’s at least got a spine. The only thing missing from the Three Stooges is a brain.

Someone might suggest to he Republicrat Party what a public relations camapaign is.
If its anywhere a change of command seems to be needed, perhaps its the yacht club where they meet.
