Democrats believe we've lost the War on Terror

Every day I turn on the news and read various editorials about Iraq, I'm amazed at how many of our leaders are hoping we run and hide from all the evil in the world. I'm serious, these are elected individuals who are shaking-in-their-pants scared at defending America.

They were afraid to stand up to communism in Cuba, Vietnam, Nicaragua and Russia. They cowered to Saddam, the Taliban and Al Qaeda. They coddle China and North Korea and look up to Chavez, Morales and Castro. Which leads me to ask, how in the world are these idiots capable of leading us?

The latest in a long list of wuss democrats to jump on the "get out now" bandwagon is Sen. John "Hanoi" Kerry. Ignoring the fact that our continued presence in Iraq just killed one of the most prolific terrorists in modern times in al-Zarqawi, Kerry wants us out by the end of the year.

Kerry now clear: Let's abandon Iraq

Call it Sen. John Kerry's coming out party. At long last Kerry has adopted a coherent position on the war in Iraq - and thrown in his lot with the Howard Dean/bring the troops home now wing of his party. "It is essential to acknowledge that the war itself was a mistake," Kerry told some 2,000 liberals assembled for the "Take Back America" conference in Washington, D.C. "It was wrong and I was wrong to vote for that Iraq war resolution."

How is it an elected member of Congress can get away with telling Americans it was a "mistake" to defend our country? I realize Kerry believes we should let the UN be responsible for our national security, but this is absurd.

Here is a guy who preached diplomacy and international cohesion throughout his entire campaign, yet wants to drop Iraq like fourth period French. He's ignored the success of free elections. He's ignored the success of a trained Iraqi police force. He's ignored the success of dead, captured, or running-scared terrorist leaders. Yet all Mr. Kerry is concerned with now is showing the world where his party stands on the issue of conceding defeat in the Global War on Terror.

Here's more...

Kerry has launched his back to the future-style campaign, drawing parallels between Vietnam, which he protested after returning from service there, and Iraq. "And as in Vietnam, we have stayed and fought and died even though it is time for us to go," Kerry said. "It was right to dissent from a war in 1971 that was wrong and could not be won. And now, in 2006, it is both a right and an obligation for Americans to stand up to a president who is wrong today."

Let me break this one down for you folks. Kerry believes we stayed in Vietnam too long and never belonged in the first place. But you'll never hear these anti-war hippies ever denounce the ruthless communist regimes of North Vietnam. You'll never hear Kerry say one word of the 2 million plus South Vietnamese killed after we "cut and run."

What you have here is a man who never could look an enemy in the eye. You have a man who didn't believe in America and her freedom in 1971 and still doesn't believe in 2006.

But it doesn't end with commie-lover Kerry. House Majority Leader John Boehner (R.-Ohio) comments on Rep. Pelosi and Rep. Murtha's belief that we can't win this War on Terror.

Will Capitol Hill Democrats Concede Defeat in the Global War on Terror?

As the House prepares to debate how best to combat terrorism in a post-9/11 world, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has made it clear where her party stands on the issue of conceding defeat in the Global War on Terror. In an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer yesterday, Pelosi said: CNN's Wolf Blitzer: "Do you think the Democratic Party -- and you're the leader in the House of Representatives -- is aligned with Congressman John Murtha or with Senator Hillary Clinton?" Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA): "I think they're much closer to Congressman Murtha." And where is Rep. John Murtha (D-PA) on the issue of Iraq? Rep. Murtha: "I think we cannot win this." (CNN's "Live Today," 6/8/06) Rep. Murtha: "We need to redeploy and let the Iraqis handle it themselves." (CNN's "The Situation Room," 6/8/06)

Unreal!

All I'm asking for is some leadership here people!!! All I ask is we have people in powerful roles that are able to make powerful decisions. Taking the McDonalds fast-food approach to fighting the war on terror is not only harmful to America but dangerous to the very nature of free society.

Reps. Pelosi and Murtha want to drop our fight against terrorism while celebrating the 2,500 American deaths in Iraq. You see, for these people, the numbers, the attacks, the threats or the freedoms aren't what are important. What is important to Pelosi and Murtha is that they get re-elected. If the majority of their party has taken the anti-American approach, why shouldn't they? Here what I mean...

Anti-war Dems blast Pelosi over endgame

Such tensions were in full display yesterday morning at a caucus meeting on Iraq where three members of the Out of Iraq Caucus clustered around a microphone to berate House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) loudly for failing to take a stronger stand on leaving Iraq.

Hopefully American leadership will recognize the benefits of fighting this war. Hopefully American leadership will not crumble in the face of adversity or a ruthless enemy. And hopefully, if we are all so lucky, Kerry, Pelosi, Murtha and the rest of the anti-war blokes will continue to look like fools as more and more terrorists go down.
