The shaky platform that the Defeat-o-crats have build for themselves is getting even weaker and a few more timbers are cracking. The UN has elected t expand its roll in Iraq. That has really got to sting. The UN is ready to step back into Iraq? That has to speak volumes up the real condition on the ground there, even to the experts of denial.
Fiengold, Murtha, Pelosi, and Reid have to be scrambling for cover amid the news coming from the war. And how can you have any empathy for them. They bet on the President being as big an idiot as the Hollywood and elitists liberals said he was.
Instead he tore a page from history and pulled an Abraham Lincoln. Abe Lincoln looked for nearly four years, and went through over a half dozen commanders, some of them twice, before he found Grant. This president has apparently done the same with David Petraeus.
Michael Yon says: "Petraeus may well prove to be to counterinsurgency warfare what Patton was to tank battles with Rommel, or what Churchill was to the Nazis." I'll add that after Lincoln put Grant in command it was only a year before Lee surrendered at Appomattox. We can only hope the same result is on the horizon for Iraq and the Democrats in 2008.
