Don't question the Sellouts' Patriotism!

The New York Times had a succinct reaction to President Bush's speech: "President Bush told Americans last night that failure in Iraq would be a disaster. The disaster is Mr. Bush’s war, and he has already failed."


In an interview with National Public Radio Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) called the Iraq strategy, "the worst foreign policy blunder" in American history.


Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA) noted, "American servicemen have been there for four years, longer than World War II." Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) offered a similar sentiment on NPR several days ago.


Their interviewers suffered from temporary amnesia. They failed to mention that World War II ended abruptly with a pair of nuclear explosions after millions had died, including hundreds of thousands of Americans.


This morning's Dallas Morning News had a slightly different take: "No patriot can hope for [President Bush] to fail. There is far too much at stake for America and the world."


Well, Morning News, this posse of crack military experts -- including the Times, Pelosi, and Kennedy -- have already pre-judged the strategy. And they believe it's a "disaster." By doing so, they continue to root for America's failure.


Leading up to 9/11, we followed the Democratic gameplan for dealing with Islamofascism. It didn't work.


No Democrat has articulated a coherent plan for dealing with the aftermath of a pullout from Iraq. A nuclear Iran. Or a resurgent Syria. Where are the Democrats' plans?


And the mainstream media studiously ignores the rise of religious totalitarianism.


George W. Bush is the only political figure standing resolutely against these extremists.


George W. Bush remembers 9/11. The Democrats have already forgotten; they've washed away that memory in a craven grab at political power. And, no, they don't support the troops.


As Carter's cowardice against the Ayatollah in 1979 emboldened the rise of religious extremists; as Clinton's cut-and-run tactics in Mogadishu inspired Osama bin Laden; so too will the Democrats' "redeployment" inspire a new generation of unrest.

You'd think the Democrats would have learned by now: appeasement and surrender don't work against suicidal extremists. Killing them, however, appears to solve the problem.


Iran's Ahmadinejad is either insane or deadly serious about the return of the Mahdi. In either case, he's a madman with nukes.


I have never been as disgusted with an American political party as I am with today's crop of Democrats.

Weeks ago, Pelosi and Reid were among those calling for a surge. Now that the President is for it, they're against it.


Today's Democratic leadership are not patriots. They are craven partisans. If this crew were in charge during World War II, we'd be living in the world that Philip K. Dick described in Man in the High Castle.


The results of leaving the Middle East in tatters will be devastating. We are entering the nuclear age of terrorism. Failing to act now will leave our children and grandchildren with a catastrophic legacy. And we'll have the party of sellouts -- and the likes of the New York Times -- to thank for the fallout. And when I refer to 'fallout', I mean it literally.
