As usual, it is not about defending the nation, it is about power. It is not about living up to promises, it is about maintenance of power and creating a socialist/fascist state. The Dems are moving away from the Iraq issue, and focusing on the traditional tax and spend crap they have been putting forth for years. Why?
Here is the skinny:
Congressional Democrats rode anti-war sentiment to victory last fall but they are staking their success in the final months of this year's calendar on more traditional domestic issues amid concern that the war may not be the potent political issue it once was by Election Day 2008.With few Iraq votes expected in the next several weeks a marked departure from the first nine months of the new Democratic-controlled Congress Democrats are trying to build an agenda that's heavy on health care, community policing, housing, tax reform and other issues. "Iraq has always been the 800-pound gorilla in the room, but there are other issues to deal with," said Jim Manley, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.). "We did well with our initial agenda. Now we need to move on to a broader agenda."But there's another driving factor under the radar: a latent concern that Iraq may not be as favorable a political issue for Democrats a year from now, as images of brigades of U.S. troops coming home could well be flickering on American television screens. "They've run millions of dollars of ads and had untold rallies and protests, but they're actually losing approval" on the war, said Don Stewart, a spokesman for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). "How's it going to look when troops start coming home next year and, while most people are holding a 'Welcome Home' sign, they're left holding a MoveOn.org ad or Code Pink banner?"
In other words, it is all about power. Who cares what we promised, we will whore ourselves out to the devil himself to get power, right Harry Reid? Right Nancy Pelosi? But wait, let's put our fingers to the wind and do a poll, which tells the truth of the matter:
Additionally, as always, polls are a factor. A majority of voters in an Oct. 3 Gallup Poll support the partial withdrawal plan proposed by Army Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Iraq.
The fact of the matter is more Americans are understanding that the Surge and gradual withdrawal strategy is working. We have, along with other members of the SOB and the Right Blogosphere, highlighted the successes, and more and more Americans are seeing through the BS of the Left and the terror supporting MSM. So, of course they are going to move away from the issue. They were hoping we would lose, and they want us to forget that. However, we at WMD will never forget their hatred of the troops and their hopes for failure of the mission. Oh, and we accomplished our initial agenda? Uh, how many things other than renaming post offices have you gotten through? Where is the amnesty bill? Hmmm?
