What Will The Democrats Do If We Win In Iraq?

A question posed by Michael Crowley at The New Republic:

It hasn’t become much of a campaign issue–yet–but for the first time in a long while the news from Iraq isn’t unrelentingly ghastly. Some previously hard-to-imagine glimmers of hope are now emerging. Of course there are a thousand caveats here, and Slate’s Phil Carter has a good summation of them. But this weekend an experienced Iraq correspondent–someone who has been extremely bleak about the war in the past–told me he thinks it’s really possible that the country is turning a corner.
Which raises all sorts of secondary but fascinating political questions: What do the Democrats do if–yes: if, if, if–the surge appears to have succeeded?

A good question, but perhaps more important than the answer is another question: Why have the Democrats put themselves into a position where a military victory for our country is bad for them politically?

    ews48 – Then they will, hopefully, continue to point out that there was no reason for us to have gone there in the first place…

    Saddam?

    I guess he doesn’t count. He was a dictator. And we all know how the left slobbers lovingly over them.

    “No reason” you say.

  • 2Hotel9

    Oh, and your big strategy is to attack Dubai because people use their airport. I like that!

  • 2Hotel9

    Claim that it is THEIR victory.

    Please show me the roadblocks.

    Hopefully, they will bestow honor on the U.S. military like everyone else.

    Then they will, hopefully, continue to point out that there was no reason for us to have gone there in the first place and cause the deaths of thousands of these honorable men who do their duty to their country right or wrong.

    These articles on Democratic Senator Feinstein is what this war has been all about and explains why she seems to be in Bush’s back pocket:

    Even though the crimes here are obvious, note that there is no media outrage and no clamor for investigations and deserved jail time by the Republicans. It’s not the Democrats and Republicans. It’s the haves and have-nots.

    On a good note, Ron Paul seems to be building a head of steam. Pray for a miracle.

    Glad you can admit that Dubai and the UAE are advancing. Now explain how Iran is doing in the manufacturing and infrastructure category.

  • 2Hotel9

    Exactly who is impeding the reconstruction of the WTC site? Which political party is throwing road blocks up at every opportunity? And the 9/11 highjackers were from Dubai?

  • http://proof-proofpositive.blogspot.com/ proof_positive

    As we build war machines to attack countries that our fearless leaders insist are threats……….others build cities, industrial and manufacturing machines and build up and improve their infrastructure.
    But hey….what’s more important.

    What’s more important? Education for starters! You seem to be woefully ignorant of what takes place in this country!
    Maybe a trip out of your Mom’s basement into the real world might change your perspective!

    Why have the Democrats put themselves into a position where a military victory for our country is bad for them politically?

    They have and they have not! They are counting on our defeat to restore them to absolute power in the federal government; but trust me, please understand this, if we win in Iraq before the next election, they will claim they forced Bush to change tactics and it is their victory. If a Democrat wins the White House and victory is clear after that date, even by a day, they will claim a Democrat President won the war, ended the chaos and brought peace to the world. This is a win-win strategy for the Democrats, no matter what happens they will claim they won the war in Iraq!

    1. All the intelligence data from the entire world said Iraq had WMD’s, we knew Saddam used them, he was stonewalling inspections and failing to abide by U.N. resolutions.
    2. Saddam was financially supporting Islamic terrorist organizations in so-called Palestine.
    3. Saddam had attacked his neighbors and was real and present danger to the national security of the United States, especially in cutting off or hurting world oil supplies.
    4. Our soldiers that gave their lives in defense of liberty volunteered to serve and they died in service to their nation, there is nothing to apologize for.
    5. You are, I am sad to say, a Leftist idiot!

  • 2Hotel9

    And what country is Dubai in?

  • Mark D

    No armed force in the world can stand up th the US military,

    Can we afford it.

    you got a list of alternative contractors to supply these items?

    markie, you got a list of alternative contractors to supply these items? Perhaps the Democrats that stole your city’s money could do it!

  • Mark D

    UAE.
    Would you like to ask another question?
    Where are the roadblocks?

  • Mark D

    Why is Dubai building?
    What happens to UAE after their oil reserves dry up?
    They want to build a world financial, vacation, shopping, you name it center.

    Iran wants to build build power plants for desalination plants.
    Others the same.
    The UAE government is currently conducting a study into the viability of a nuclear power program while Russian President Vladimir Putin has already pledged to assist Saudi Arabia in developing atomic energy. Meanwhile, Egypt has ordered several nuclear power plants. In a region where oil and gas flows like milk and honey however, does the Middle East really need a nuclear revolution?
    Nuke plants

  • 2Hotel9

    Funny, Iran’s nuclear weapons grade refining facility is hell and gone far away from its desalination plant. You know, the one that has been shut down and stripped since the mid-’80s. And where are all the power transmission lines from their weapons development facility to all their industry? Kind of hard to power industry without transmission lines.

  • 2Hotel9

    And still no identification of the Democrats that stole your city’s money. Rather telling.

  • Bill Mitchell

    Ok, ok, this is an easy one.

    Why have the Democrats put themselves in a position where our winning in Iraq is bad for them?

    Because the Democrats never run FOR anything, they just run AGAINST things. They are the party of “vote for us because we aren’t them”.

    They finally won back power in 2006 because America finally got so tired of Republicans not acting like conservatives that they voted for Democrats pretending to be conservatives.

    They didn’t vote FOR the liberal agenda, they voted for something “different”. Well they got it and it tastes like a bad pistachio.

    Now the Dems are freaking because they no longer have a big emotional issue to run AGAINST. They may actually be forced to have IDEAS that the American people like.

    I promise you, once America realizes that they will have to work January through September every year just to pay taxes so that illegal aliens can go to free college, they ain’t gonna like it – and that’s exactly what they’ll get if they give Dems control of the WH and Congress.

    Education? Is that all you got.

    Pardon me for being oblique: Education for you!
    You have cut and paste down pat. Now let’s work on some reasoning skills!

  • 2Hotel9

    OK, I’ll bite. If it is not Democrats stopping the reconstruction of WTC who is?

  • Mark D

    You mean we didn’t win yet?

    I thought thats what the extra bucks were for.
    Damn… a trillion $$$$$ don’t buy what it used to.

    We got the guy that did that 9/11 stuff right?
    Oh wait, me bad, that guy is in that country with that other dictator that won’t let us go in and get him.

    Oh but these guys won.

    The strangest part of the democrat positions is that any idoit could tel that Iraq and the terrorists have no chance of beating the US if we just stick it out. No armed force in the world can stand up th the US military, and still they left took this asinine position.

    As for putting Republicans in jail, what exactly would you charge them with, or would you just stick them in jail without a trial?

  • Mark D

    Oh Proof, please, educate me.
    I have a few questions before I leave my moms basement and venture out into the real world and I’m sure you have the answers to…….

    Why don’t we go into Pakistan to get the person that our government says is responsible for 9/11?

    Did we win in Afghanistan? And if so, why do we have more troops there now then we ever have, and why are US fatalities increasing?

    2007 102 deaths
    2006 98 deaths
    2005 99 deaths
    2004 52 deaths
    2003 48 deaths
    2002 48 deaths
    2001 12 deaths

    Operation Enduring Freedom

    Will Mr. Bush wait till the stock market falls to 10k before he cuts taxes to stimulate this robust economy?

    When will we know when we have won?

    Will the Freedom Tower make it past the 4th floor by the 25th anniversary of 9/11 or should we borrow money from UAE and hire them to do it?

    Will the Amero replace the sinking USD?

    We should have built the worlds tallest building……instead, the country that 12 of the 19 hijackers flew out of, and the home of Haliburton is building it.
