Our Soldiers Standing Tallat Fallujah The War in IraqCommentary for Thursday 01/11/2007 The War in IraqThe War in Iraq: President Bush set forth his agenda to quell the violence in Iraq last night. All the while, in the back of my mind was this little nag; 'To little too late'. Even though I don't like living in the land of 'woulda, coulda, shoulda'; that is exactly where my thoughts were as I listened. This man was desperately trying to give hope to those who feel defeated and rally those who still believe. I will not join in the chorus of defeatism. He is already under a constant barrage of criticism from those seeking our defeat in Iraq. The morning after the speech: The liberal left response was typical of them, all criticism. They want a defeat in Iraq more than anything else. The Democrats know that if we pull out prematurely, Iraq would become a large regional war between the Sunnis and the Shiites. A large regional war will set the stage for 2008 politics. Democrats will blame an Iraqi defeat on the Republicans, as well as the blaming Bush's invasion of Iraq for the wider conflict. This is, and has been their strategy from the beginning. The Democrats will denounce any operation that might have a chance to succeed; a victory for the U.S. in Iraq would kill their plans for regaining complete power of the government in 2008. It is all about Power From the Democrats perspective, consequences mean nothing as long as they win in 2008. That is also the reason that they haven't tried to help the United States win. Their constant negative barrages have given hope to those that we are fighting. Our enemy is also aware of history and how we up and left in Viet Nam without a victory. In that war, the left finally convinced the public that we (The U.S.) couldn't win and that the war was wrong. It was a major victory for the left. They are looking for the same type of victory from the Iraq War. All of the millions who died after our pullout of Viet Nam didn't bother the liberals. Nor will the deaths of the hundreds of thousands who will die by us pulling out of Iraq before that fledgling Democracy can survive on its own. It just means winning an election to the Democrats.
