Reid has the quote of the day

Senate Republicans Block Iraq Timetable - Yahoo! News Reid is quoted as saying that "We can't stay the course."

That is the most obvious summary of the Democratic ideal I've heard: the inability to stay the course.

Agree with the war or not, the last thing the US can do is to pull out with the job half-done. It sends a strong signal that the US can't be trusted to follow through.

Republicans now want an "exit strategy"

Some Republicans are now demanding an "exit strategy" be laid out by Bush. It is exactly the last thing we should do. The term is very close to a timetable. It would be a great disservice to the soldiers, marines, sailor and airmen serving in Iraq to give the enemy a timetable. All they have to do is to hold on until that time. We have an exit strategy in Iraq: a freely elected government that can defend itself and its country. Regardless of the news reports and noise from the likes of Reid, Kennedy, (I'm a war hero) Kerry and the other fellow-travellers from the Democratic Party. we see, to be getting there. Elections have come on time, the Iraqi army and police forces are coming up to speed and there are great parts of Iraq that are peaceful.

I guess the Democrats just can't stand winning and the Republicans just can't stand not being Democrats.

Keep telling a lie and it becomes truth

At least that seems to be the Democratic Strategy. Keep harping on "Bush lied" and supposedly people will believe it. Today's Fox News Sunday was a case in point. Jay Rockefellar did a wounderful job of tap dancing all around the statements he made strongly supporting the war. Wallace asked him twice if he stood by his statements and Rockefellar danced around it. Basically, the Dems think they have a winning strategy: Keep rewriting history and it will become the truth.

All The WMD Pieces?

I was channel-hopping and caught a discussion on CNN about WMD. BG (ret) Marks, now a CNN "general" was the top MI person in Iraq. He contends that all the pieces for Saddam's WMD program were found. Just no WMD. Iraq had the capability in place. If so, what the heck are the Dems yapping about?
