Why would the democrats vote to confirm the man who thinks we can win the war in Iraq by increasing troops? Don't the democrats think it's stupid to increase the troops? Do they think we should have stupid people running our military operations?
" Why would the democrats vote to confirm the man who thinks we can win the war in Iraq by increasing troops? "
Last night on Special Report , they showed the Quisling Senators , including Susan Collins and Biden , happily wishing Petraeus success in his new position .
Fred Barnes made the point that this is in effect, Petraeus's plan now and with one hand they gush over him and wish him well
and with the other-
they're trying to cut him off at the knees , so he will fail.
Scroll down....and you will find this:
General Patraeus will be confirmed by the Senate soon.
Probably by close to a unanimous vote.
He has said he needs more troops to secure Baghdad.
Various Senators, who will vote for General Patraeus as the "Man to Accomplish the Mission", will then vote to deny the man the tools he has told them he needs.
Then we wonder why after decades of trying to find solutions to the problems if the Middle East we are standing at square one. In the insanity called Washington, the "Man with the plan" is denied the tools to do the job, while the "Man with no plan" gets all the tools he needs to accomplish nothing.
