Liberals Are Invested In Our Defeat!

by GrassTopsUSA

Liberals are invested in our defeat!

But that should not come as a shock!

According to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell:

The Democrat Congress Spent The People's Time Holding 61 Redundant Votes On Iraq Related Measures;

Congress Voted 40 Times (23 House votes and 17 Senate votes) On Withdrawing Troops, Micromanaging Troops, Or Condemning The Surge;

The Senate Voted 17 Times To Either Prevent The Surge Or Withdraw Troops;

Harry Reid, contemptuous of his GOP opposition, said:

"We're going to continue our battle -- that's what it is, to represent the American people like they want us to represent them, to change the course in Iraq."

Is that what the American people want?  To run up a white flag now that we're winning? 

Do we really want this great nation to run whining and whimpering home, tail between its legs, handing over the Middle East -- and ultimately the Western world -- to Islamic fanatics like Osama bin Laden?

Are Americans down on their knees, begging Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to stock his arsenal of nuclear warheads and incinerate New York or Washington or Atlanta?

Is that what Harry Reid and Barak Obama and Hillary Clinton want: to bring our troops home to fight the terrorists, block by block, on every Main Street in America? 

That's what could happen if we show them how weak and cowardly we've become.

Better to beat them in Baghdad with the help of an Iraqi force that is growing in strength and confidence every day.

When Americans repelled the Tet Offensive in Vietnam -- winning a stunning victory -- the American media reported it as a great defeat. 

Historian Donald Wilcox acknowledged that American casualties were high -- figures the hate-America liberals viewed with glee.

However, Wilcox went on to say, "overwhelming allied counterattacks; and the insurgent infrastructure was so decimated at the end of the fighting that no large enemy offensives could be mounted for four years."

Of the media, Wilcox said: "It has always been clear that the press played a vital role in this dramatic shift of opinion. It has been evident that dissatisfaction with the war among media opinion-makers helped form an American public attitude of discouragement."

As the consequence of this public attitude, Lyndon Johnson was forced to step aside at the end of his term. 

The parallels are too obvious to ignore: The liberals in Congress are following this same game plan, with their media co-conspirators:  focusing on casualties, deliberately ignoring successes, blaming the president.

It worked for them before.  They figure it can work again.
