Commanding Performance
Orchestrating Defeat
by Tina Grazier
Three stories in the news today illustrate the difference between the democrat controlled congress and our president. The president is doing what he has always done; he is moving forward with plans to win in Iraq and in the broader war. The dems in congress continue to do what they always do, everything they can to win for themselves. First on the board is a story from >
The postwar relationship between Iraq and the United States is now a broader public topic. This week, the White House and the Iraqi government announced that state-to-state discussions are taking place with the goal of reaching detailed agreements that will govern Iraq and America's long-term political, economic and military ties. Iraqis have asked for "an enduring relationship with America."
This story heralds the success of our military and diplomatic efforts and the efforts of the Iraqi government and people. It is a story that in a sane world would be celebrated with thanksgiving and hope for the future. Our friends on the left, however, just can't seem to put down that wet blanket or make every attempt to in control, and so we hear from Rep. John Murtha as reported by Brian Bowling in the Pittsburg Tribune-Review:
U.S. Rep. John Murtha believes the Bush administration is beginning to show a willingness to negotiate with Congress an end to the war in Iraq. The Johnstown Democrat said Thursday that Lt. Gen. Douglas Lute, Bush's "war czar" for Iraq and Afghanistan, called him Wednesday after Murtha returned from a four-day tour of Kuwait, Iraq, Turkey and Belgium. Congressional leaders want to meet with Bush to discuss a plan for getting out of Iraq.
Hello...Bush is way ahead of you...try to keep up! And while you're at it try doing your real job...finance this thing so we can move forward toward an "enduring relationship" with Iraq...it is unseemly that the president must admonish when our military has accomplished so much:
President Bush warned Congress yesterday that the Pentagon soon will have to start laying off civilian employees and reducing operations at U.S. military bases unless lawmakers send him an emergency war funding bill that does not mandate troop withdrawals from Iraq. - William Branigin, Washington Post
Playing childish games for political traction should be beneath our esteemed representatives. Alas, it is not!
Please vote wisely in "08!
