It appears there is more proof the Democratic party is playing for the other team. The party that will not admit their last Presidential Administration had anything to do with allowing 911 to happen continues to push for surrender in Iraq. If you don’t believe they share responsibility for the 911 terrorist attack in NYC, read the 911 Commission Report or check the excerpts on this blog from Section 4.5.

They don’t accept any responsibility for the 911 attacks. All they can say is that they were lied to about the mission, we’re losing the war and the surge won’t work. Now it is the surge is working but that is not good enough. Apparently these morons will continue to push for surrender even if the insurgents commit mass suicide with Democratic party Kool Aid, all Muslims convert to another religion and every country in the world is run by Reid and Pelosi. Perhaps if they pulled their heads out of their backsides everything would not smell so bad to them.

If the left that exists today was in Congress in 1944 there would have been no D-Day, there would have been no Allied victory in WWII and we would all be fluent in German and Japanese. Their preference for partial birth abortions and eliminating traditional values including strong families headed by a man and a woman with a deep appreciation for religious or spiritual influence in daily life weakens the fabric that has strengthened this nation throughout history. You can disagree with others without supporting actions that risk the future of the country and assist those who would do us harm.

Despite the Democratic party’s dysfunctional efforts most news coming out of Iraq is positive. More rebuilding is taking place, more troops are re-enlisting in the field, fewer people are dying, more Iraqis are returning and more areas of the country are retuning to normal. Tribal leaders continue to support the US against insurgents or Al-Qaeda, both Shiite and Sunni clerics are promoting unity and the overall direction is improving. Yet the Democratic party still holds their surrender strategy. Their claim that the midterms were a public mandate for surrender are as big a load of manure as the one they’re trying to sell now. Pardon that error. It’s the same load they’re trying to sell now.

Contrary to the famed Iraq Study Group the Democratic party last used to present their argument, the surge is working. If you cannot admit your were wrong you do not have the strength or courage to govern. That is sort of a moot point as you have done nothing to govern since assuming the majority in Congress after the midterms of 2006.

Iraq Debate Steps Up In Washington

U.S. military officials say progress is being made in Iraq, months after an influx of additional American troops. But prominent Democrats in Congress say the military gains are not enough, and the Iraqi government must do more on the political front. VOA’s Paula Wolfson reports.

With Congress deliberating war funding, the debate over the situation in Iraq is heating up again.

The Bush administration says the troop surge ordered by the president earlier this year has resulted in a drop in the level of violence.

The U.S. second-in-command in Iraq says there has been steady progress, and things seem to be moving in the right direction.

General Ray Odierno says both U.S. and Iraqi civilian casualties are down. He also says there has been a 25 to 30-percent decline on foreign fighters entering Iraq, and notes Syria is taking steps along its Iraqi border.

He spoke on CNN’s Late Edition program.

“The additional forces we have [in Iraq] have been able to eliminate safe havens and sanctuaries there were,” said General Odierno. “We continue to see increased capacity in the Iraqi security forces. But probably most importantly, we are seeing the Iraqi people reject terrorism within Iraq.”

The troop surge was ordered by President Bush in an effort to create a security environment in which the Iraqi government could move forward with political reconciliation.

General Odierno was asked if Iraq’s leaders are taking the necessary steps.

“They probably are not doing it as quickly as we would like,” he said. “But they are starting to take steps. Some of these problems are long-term problems that have gone on for decades in Iraq and it is going to take some time to solve them.”

But some members of the U.S. Congress wonder if the current Iraqi government can bring the country together.

Senator Carl Levin - a Democrat from the state of Michigan - is chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee. He also appeared on CNN’s Late Edition.

“There is growing, I would say, frustration with the national political leaders in their failure to carry out commitments they made to themselves and us a year ago,” said Senator Levin.

Levin said Congress will provide funding for U.S. troops in Iraq, but added lawmakers will continue to press the Bush administration to pressure Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to settle these political differences.

Members of Levin’s committee have been traveling to Iraq in recent days for a first hand look at the situation. Virginia Democrat James Webb told NBC’s Meet the Press that military progress is not enough. He said the Bush administration has not matched the high performance of American troops with a robust regional diplomacy.

“That is the only way we are going to be able to take advantage of the quality of the work our military people have done and we are still waiting,” said Senator Webb.

Webb has a son who is serving with U.S. forces in al-Anbar province. He said there has been political reconciliation in that part of the country, but stressed it began before the influx of extra American troops.
