Apparently Real Americans Don't Want to Lose in Iraq
Or The Democrats May Have Moved Too Far Left
Investor's Business Daily commissioned a poll recently and
found that Americans want to run and abandon Iraq, right?
Guess what, they must have sampled people outside of San
Francisco because it seems ordinary Americans actually
want to win in Iraq.
The numbers speak for themselves. The left just took the wrong side on national defense once again. The editorial itself takes no prisoners:
The party of John Murtha shamelessly seeks to defund and defeat U.S. troops on the battlefield and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. The Congress the terrorists wanted is doing their bidding.
and
Give us the tools and we'll finish the job, said Winston Churchill in the dark days before our official entry into World War II. America delayed its entry into both world wars, but once in, we were committed to win. Hillary thinks that applies only to her campaign, not to the war on terror.
Neville Chamberlain's naivete may have helped bring on World War II, but at least he supported his country when war began. Norway's Vidkun Quisling and France's Vichy government under Marshal Petain may have collaborated with the Nazi enemy, but after their countries' defeats, not before.
We'd have to go back to Benedict Arnold to find Americans as eager as Murtha & Co. to see an American defeat on the battlefield.
So now does everyone get it? Those who voted for defeat in Iraq are traitors. If you want your country to lose in battle you are against it. If you are against your country, you are a traitor. You can't be an American and urge defeat. Freedom ends when you put your country's future in peril.
Hat tip to Captain's Quarters for finding this article. Also read this story at the Gateway Pundit. He describes the left's new "maximum" standard for national sacrifice. Copperheads indeed.
