Mogudishu Democrats
Winds of Change blogs nails one of the problems the Dems have on national security issues.
"I knew we were in for a long season when we lined up for the national anthem on opening day and one of my players said, 'Every time I hear that song I have a bad game."
-- Jim Leyland, Manager, Pittsburgh Pirates
"...Let's begin with yet another demonstration of Jane's Law, on July 4th no less. Democrats for National Security (DfNS) emailed to say:
"'But this is different. This time the President of the United States has invited attacks on American troops. At a time when American civilian and military leaders on the ground in Iraq are desperately trying to stabilize the situation, the Commader-in-Chief has challenged Saddam's supporters and others opposed to our presence to a fight. The President's remark shows an appalling and reckless disregard for the lives of our troops on the ground. How utterly stupid and thoughtless - how emblematic of why this man is so thoroughy unfit to lead this nation.'"
"...Let's get real. The attacks are coming regardless of what Bush says. As for 'bring it on...,' one wonders if DfNS are aware that U.S. troops used exactly this tactic during the war, via loudspeakers on Humvees, to great effect? That's why we heard about pickup trucks attacking M1A1 tanks - the fedayeen just couldn't stand to have ther manhood challenged in stereo. I believe one U.S. soldier's quote was 'we shoot them down like the morons they are.' One expects an organization called 'Democrats for National Security' to know this, and perhaps to apply it.
"In a guerilla war, you WANT people to come after your soldiers. That's the ideal tactical scenario, and with the shallowness of the Ba'ath infrastructure and limited recruiting capability they cannot sustain an attrition-based campaign for long. That might change if they adopted a longer-term strategy, and Bush has now challenged them not to. Smart move - the fedayeen loudspeaker tactic writ large. The faster and harder al-Awda attack, the sooner they're taken out, the faster the reconstruction is done, and the more U.S. troops come home."
