despite the growing number of Democrats urging a withdrawal

These are people who want to be taken seriously on security matters. Its not happening for them.

Its a shame that in our two-party system we aren't blessed with two parties who both value national security. In a better world than this one, the presidential debates would be about which party would more aggressively defend the country, which one would more aggressively hunt down our enemies, which party would more aggressively police our borders.

Instead we have one party prepared to wage war (without sealing the borders) and the other who won't do either.

If you care about national security, its a one-party system. There is only one choice. If you expect national security to include border security, the field of choices is a little thinner.

Imagine what we could accomplish if we were all on the same page and the Dems cared about America's success instead of wringing their hands, just waiting for a failure.

Actually, it wouldn't be nearly as bad if all they were doing was waiting for a failure. Instead, they are actively attempting to make failure a done deal.

If the RATS cared about our success and being on the same page, we probably WOULD be pulling some of our troops home by now. That's the irony.

If the countries of the free world would rally behind America even half as much as they criticize us.....al Qaeda would already be destroyed.

Not that everyone doesn't already know this, but RATS run the AP, and RATS did the bogus polling. There's no way that only 30% approve of the President's handling of Iraq. Leading questions, and overpolling Dems and Independents. The polls are to make news, not to reflect reality.

But to the article, GOOD for Rove for articulating the Commander in Chief's position............and GOOD for him for thanking Ohioans...............because we SAVED the WORLD in 2004! :)

Too bad the RINO's won't allow the "white flag" ad to be run again.

Too bad the RINO's allow the likes of
hanoi kerry and cut and run murtha to
attack our troops.

At least we know Rove, Rumsfeld, and Sam Johnson Viet Nam Vet are not RINO's.

Despite?  

That's the word I'd use if the Democrats were the majority.

Karl Rove would make a good candidate for President or maybe Vice-president, don't you think ?
