Democrats Put Iraq Surrender Plans On Hold
Democrats in Congress have temporarily abandoned their plans to surrender the Iraq War by forcing a premature withdrawal of US troops. Basically, the Democrats don’t have enough votes to require American troops to leave or cut off funding, as everyone knew they wouldn’t, so they are taking a little break for now.
What’s interesting, however, is that even though Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards—the leading DFL candidates for the Democratic Party nomination—have all refused to pledge that they would withdraw troops before 2013 should they be elected, Democrats are still pushing forward with their Sabotage The War effort. But why?
It’s a disgusting political game, and nothing more. I’ll bet that if the Democrats actually had a chance at succeeding at withdrawing troops that they wouldn’t be pressing this issue. They know that they’ve got no chance, so they can be as absurd as they want to be.
But at least they get in good with their delusional, anti-war liberal supporters by pretending to be fighting for something they know they have no chance of winning. This way, they dampen the criticism of their vocal constituency and the political contributions keep rolling in. Liberals are so gullible!
I wonder if the anti-war lefties realize that they’ve got no one they can support who actually shares their viewpoint regarding the war.
Remember: a few months ago Hillary Clinton was demanding that American troops start leaving Iraq in 90 days and now she herself is refusing to commit to pulling out soldiers by 2013. Absolute fraud is what it is.
