The Democrats' latest ploy of shifting the goal posts to dampen Gen. Petraeus's anticipated report of military successes in Iraq by emphasizing the slow progress on the political side makes it increasingly hard to deny they are working for defeat at all costs.
Limbaugh goes on, saying that if they truly wanted to see political progress, they would have praised the Iraqi elections in January 2005 instead of complaining that too few Sunnis participated. They wouldn't complain about the U.S. imposing its will on Iraq before turning around and call for a change in Iraqi leadership. They wouldn't chant incessantly about Iraq being another Vietnam, and then criticize Bush for drawing historical similarities between the two conflicts in support of victory now (rather than repeat the defeat from before).
Limbaugh concludes:
"The more the Democratic leaders try to sabotage our mission in Iraq, the more they will ingratiate themselves to their rabid antiwar base, but the harder it will be for them to avoid their own quagmire in November 2008, when national security issues will be front and center."
This issue is a no-brainer, and is ripe for the taking of a solid pro-America presidential candidate. Like immigration reform, whoever can best claim this one and frame it properly will have an edge on every Democrat candidate running for President.
There's my two cents.
