Given my last post, this column in the Washington Post seems especially ironic in its timing. Democrat leaders in the House are planning to play politics with their next defense spending bill. Pelosi and Murtha are planning to include three amendments on the bill that would do the following:
1. begin retreating from Iraq in 60 days
2. subject continued war funding to unattainable requirements
3. close Guantanamo Bay immediately
I hesitate to again go over all the reasons these three amendments would be disastrous due to space constraints, so I encourage you to check out the past couple weeks of my blog for numerous posts on these exact topics. In short, here are some bullet points:
1. We're winning now; why would we retreat? Because the Democrats have so viciously opposed the war (simply to oppose Bush) that they cannot allow a victory at this point.
2. see reason #1
3. What will we do with them? If we give them rights they don't deserve and give them a civilian trial, some will inevitably be let go on U.S. soil. This means that if you're a terrorist, you try to kill as many Americans as you can; if you succeed, great. If not, and you get picked up, you'll get a trial funded by American taxpayers or liberal advocacy groups, then you'll have a good chance of being released right in the heart of your primary target where you can kill more Americans.
Great ideas, Pelosi and Murtha.
I encourage all of you who are reading this to -- once again -- REMEMBER who is fighting hard for American defeat, and who is not.
There's my two cents.
