More Cut and Run from Reid and Pelosi

It was not bad enough that Harry Reid announced to the world that we lost the war in Iraq when that is not true and while we have men and women in harm’s way but now he and Nancy Pelosi have sent a letter to President Bush telling him that the troop surge has been a failure and that they intend to introduce legislation to withdraw our troops. This will be vetoed by the President and once again the Democrats will have wasted time trying to usurp the President’s authority. The gruesome twosome point to increased violence and more US deaths as the indication of failure. I thought they were supposed to wait for the report from the Commander of the troops due out in September before they took any decisions. As usual, the Democrats had to cut and run early at the first signs of perceived troubles. Perhaps it would be prudent for them to wait for the report from the guy who is actually on the ground watching what is happening rather then sitting in an office ingesting the spun tripe provided by the MSM.

I imagine that Reid and Pelosi had to do this again because of all the grief they received after the last bill but I also believe they have to try and show that Harry was wrong when he said that the Democrats had set the bar too high with regard to Iraq. In that statement he told America that Democrats do not understand the situation and that it is much more complex than the Democrats imagined. This statement is an admission that they either lied or were not up to the leadership challenges presented. They made claims that they could not follow through on and now they are blaming it on the slim majority they have. They can not override a veto so they blame it on everything except their inherent inability to lead and their inborn cowardice.

What is it with these idiots anyway? Most Americans want out but want us to win and yet the donks insist on a course of action that will render us a loss. Most Americans do not want this immigration amnesty bill they are forcing upon us and yet they keep insisting that this is the right thing. Are the Democrats so out of touch with the average citizen that they have lost all perception of reality? More likely their blind ambition, stupidity, and insatiable quest for power has consumed them so greatly that they are incapable of common sense or rational thought.

I propose my own bill with regard to the Iraq war. This bill is Democrat friendly and they can sign on because they are so sure they know what they are doing. The US will set a date for withdraw of our fighting forces and will leave NO ONE in that country. Not police, not logistics, not anything, just as the donks want it. If after that date violence among the sects breaks out, or there is a civil war, or if the Middle East is further destabilized then every Democrat in Congress will immediately resign and forfeit all claims to retirement or other monies from the government. If the US is attacked by terrorists after this date, every member who voted for the bill will be executed as a traitor for aiding and abetting the enemy. Very simple wording and a good lawyer can work it up so there is no wiggle room, no way out.

Now, if the Democrats are so sure they know what is best then they will sign on immediately. If they really have the courage of their convictions they will sign the bill and get our troops home just like they promised their drones. If they will not sign on to it then they lose the right to debate the issue further and must allow us to go in without strict rules of engagement and wipe out the bad guys including those from Syria, Iran and any other little kitty litter box country in the region.

What say you Democrats? Do you have the courage of your convictions? You are pretty mouthy and loose with words when they affect the safety and well being of our troops but are you willing to put a plan in place that places you in jeopardy?

Want to bet none of them has the courage?
