Democrats Having A Hard Time Staying On Message
Last night came the news that the man the Democrats have basically had on point for demagoguing all things Iraq in a defeatist manner, John Murtha, is admitting that there is progress in Iraq. But even as late as Wed. of this week people like Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden have been calling the idea of success in Iraq a “fantasy.”
DES MOINES—Democratic presidential candidate Joseph Biden says any talk that the U.S. troop surge in Iraq is working is “fantasy” since its goal was to lead to a fully functioning unity government in the war-torn country.
So…is Murtha in a fantasy land all of a sudden?
Murtha’s comments present a real problem for Democrats. They have invested so much of themselves in the idea that Iraq is lost, now one of the war’s most ardent critics from among their own ranks says there is progress.
They find themselves between a rock and a hard place, I think.
