Now all Al-Qaeda and Insurgents need to do is wait it out, claim victory, and get more entrenched in Iraq. So the vote was 218-212. Of course, the President is threatening a veto, and rightfully so.
"The American people have lost faith in the president's conduct of this war," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. "The American people see the reality of the war, the president does not."
The reality of war is that you defeat the enemy Nancy, regardless of how long it takes. You don't say "if we aren't done by this time, we quit." That amounts to surrender and terrorist propagandists will have a field day with it.
"You see! I told you the Americans would run. I told you they were a paper tiger. I told you that God is on our side." That's what you can expect. You can expect Iran to be emboldened that we won't have the stomach for a fight when it comes down to brass tacks. You can expect to be called cowards and spineless.
While most American's polled are indeed against this war, most also see the need to keep the troops there until Iraq can get on it's feet. If they are not able to do so and we pull out, there will be a massacre on a much larger scale then when we encouraged people to rise up against Saddam and we didn't back them.
Democrats love to talk about how we "weren't there" for various allies and how that "if only we had done this" things would be different. Well, we are there now and we are doing things, but they want to yank the rug out from underneath the troops and all the progress that they've made so far.
What about those who've died and were wounded? Were their sacrifices made for nothing? It is our moral responsibility to help Iraq get back on it's feet and if we don't, we'll leave it very vulnerable to those who wish to fill the power vacuum.
