Don’t question their patriotism! Isn’t that the mantra we hear over and over? It’s gone well beyond a question into a statement. Democratic leaders have no patriotism: just an appetite for raw power that extends to their willingness to lie about the soldiers who are fighting the war in Iraq.
Democrats are already pre-emptively attacking General Petraeus as some sort of Bush stooge claiming that he will lie in his upcoming report by saying the surge is working. The problem is that the surge is working and they know it. Every reporter or blogger who has actually been there in the last couple months has come back saying what a big change it has made, and it has Democrats running scared. They’ve spent the last four years distancing themselves from the war and counting on its failure, so much so that a successful outcome could literally cripple their future electoral chances for a generation. And they know it.
So rather than get on the right side of history and admit they were wrong, they go to the backroom and devise a new party line: the soldiers are liars! they’re tools of President Bush! General Petraeus isn’t going to tell us the truth! Blah, blah, blah. It’s one thing to be on the other side of an issue, but it’s quite another to intentionally slander our troops. I have no patience left for these lying traitors, and I can only hope that the American public punishes them in the 2008 elections for trying to perpetrate this fraud on us and on our soldiers.
