This is not new to the Democrats.

Harry Truman did it in Korea.

LBJ did it in Vietnam.

Clinton did it in Somalia, and Kosovo.

Normal to them.

Posted by nickcarraway On 11/22/2005 12:51:21 AM EST The American Prowler ^ | 11/22/2005 | George Neumayr The foreign policy of the Democratic Party verges on deliberate defeatism: afraid of American "dominance" in the world, many Democrats would prefer that America tie wars than win them. Because they would like to see America put in its place -- this isn't an overstatement; just listen to the Democrats' constant complaints about America's lone "superpower" status -- their contribution to the war effort is defined by deep ambivalence.

The liberal DemoncRATS are sick Communists. They are losers. Oh, and TRAITORS too!

Almost a good article, but even this author gives too much credit to the Democrats when he says:

"They don't necessarily want their country to lose, but they are not so sure if they want it to win either."

From their actions it's clear that Dems DO WANT THE US TO LOSE, and lose badly.

[Cobra64]

The article is excellent, but The American Prowler website is crap. You can't even email them to clean it up or forward an article without all the bull-sh!t attached.

This explains how the Democrats could stumble into the absurd position of saying that Iraq under Saddam Hussein was terrorist-free and that he just wasn't the sort of person to associate with Muslim terrorists. This whitewash of pre-war Iraq has become essential to the Democrats...

I've been to Iraq. Before Team America arrived, it was a land of flowery meadows and rainbow skies and rivers made of chocolate where the children danced and laughed and played with gumdrop smiles.

[Pajamajan]

"As inspector David Kay reported, Iraqi scientists were, up until the beginning of the war -were actively working to produce a biological weapon using the poison ricin-.We know that terrorists were passing through Iraq. And now we know that there was little control over Iraq's weapons capabilities...The country had the technology, the ability to produce, and there were terrorist groups passing through the country--and no central control. Iraq under Saddam Hussein was arguably more dangerous than even Bush had assumed"

Excellent article. Every single paragraph has a point that needs to be made to our citizens.

Do the democrats think that Saddam Hussein became LESS of a threat after 9/11? Were we supposed to trust the Up-to-its-Eyeballs-in-the-Oil-for-Food-scandal-UN to take care of Saddam?

Are they going to now, after we already have troops in harms way, after elections have been held, and while the Iraqi's are just starting to take control of their country from the terrorists- Are they really going to go back and say that it would have been better off with Saddam in charge?

It's too bad the Republican's let this go as long as they have- they should know by now that there is NO PRESS in America to tell people what's going on Iraq. And that the propagandists who call themselves "the press" operate 24/7 to destroy our war effort.

Hopefully they finally understand the scope and magnitude of dem propaganda- every movie, every TV show- every newspaper article- every news broadcast, every magazine article- every music radio broadcast- in every class room at all education levels elementary, Jr. High, High school, and college classroom, and nearly every movie and music star, spouts democrat propaganda- against the Iraq war, against our troops, and against our president. It is constant 24/7.

I am not the least bit surprised that this constant barrage of negativity has resulted in loss of public support for president Bush and the Iraq war- in spite of the succeses- elections being held..exc.. Succeses are not covered AT ALL. The only thing people have heard is the constant "quagmire" and "Viet Nam" statements of the dems.

The bully pulpit has been silent. President Bush has not addressed the nation about what's going on in Iraq, and reminded people of why we are there. I'd like to see him address the nation more, and go on the tv talk shows too- He is a likeable person. He has to ask the American people to stand by our troops and our war effort. It's the only way to get through the constant propaganda of the dems.

[jan in Colorado]

They don't necessarily want their country to lose, but they are not so sure if and they DON'T want it to win either. {There...fixed it!}

The ENEMEDIA and the Democrats are doing everything in their power to help the terrorists win! Their treasonous behavior towards our President and our troops is unforgivable!

[goldstategop]

Put quite simply, the Democrats are psychologically and politically invested in an American defeat. It would be politically suicidal for them to openly advocate they want this to happen but this is the effect of their denunciation of American policy in the Middle East. They don't care if we lose as long as they get back into power. The Democrats' world view may be loony and morally repugnant but as strategery it has much to commend it, playing as it does on Americans' ignorance of things (abetted by the MSM) abroad and a natural desire to stop being the world's policeman. In an earlier age, such a position would not have been a matter of life and death for America. With 9/11 all that changed - and isolationism pace is no longer a tenable position since we no longer have two big oceans to serve as moats to keep us safe from distant quarrels. Thanks to air travel, they can arrive almost instantly and inflict the greatest lethality imaginable upon a free society. The Democrats do not understand the old ways of doing things will never work again - even as their demagoguery endangers Americans' safety abroad and at home in this century.

DIMocRATS are nothing more than a collection of sell-outs and gutless traitors.

[Jumper]

The democrats actions may have allowed Iran and North Korea to continue their proxy war against America, thanks to in kind to both China and France, and obtain nuclear weapons to be used against the USofA. And, one must ask if these enemies of American would choose to destroy Corn Field County (Bush Country) or hit a sizeable city (Democrat Country)? Not so common common sense already answers this question if one is logical in the realities of warfare. If and when the first cities glow from the temperate fires of the Democratic Party's own hand by proxy, those who would enable this cobbled together party of Liberals (abortionists, gays, Jesse Jackson hate moungers, anti-Christians and socialists), and those who hate American will have declined in numbers and in their obsessive desire to hobble America at home and abroad.... The following elections will not empower the Democrates to continue their policy of obstructionism.

If Chicago was bombed, would Illiois vote Republican?

If LA, San Diego, San Fran & Seattle were hit by nukes, would Kalifornia and Washington vote Republican?

If NYC or Boston were hit by nukes, would NY State and Mass still vote Democrat.

The Corn Field dwellers are safe for now but one must wonder?

What is amazing is that the war critics will simultaneously cite Kay's and Duelfer's failures to find stockpiles of wmds as proof that the war was unnecessary and at the same time ignore or dismiss Kay's and Duelfer's findings of Hussein's labs and wmd preparations. And they will still claim that Hussein never had wmds even though the evidence there, the dead Kurdish children for example, is overwhelming.

[tkathy]

The democrats are AINOs (Americans in name only).

America is the Democrats' (excepting the likes of Sen. Lieberman) only worldly enemy, but they have another One in Heaven.

[tioga]

One conclusion he missed is that while America must fight with "one hand tied behind it's back", the dems will fight dirty and use every trick in the book and that is OK with them.

When your entire world view is defined by the glorification of helpless victimhood, you can not rationalize it when your country is the only superpower.
