Cut & Run Chorus wants a name change

Democrats keep trying to "reframe" their retreat from Iraq. One calls it a "cut and win" strategy. Others call it redeployment because retreat sounds like an admission of what they really want to do. My guess is the focus polls came back after Karl Rove accused them of wanting to cut and run and the democrats want to retreat from the results of those polls.

Here is question for those Democrats who want to "cut and jog" if not run from Iraq. Do you want to win the war in Iraq? If so how will retreating in the middle of the exploitation stage of our victory over Zarqawi and al Qaeda in Iraq acomplish a win there? If they do not want to win they do not need to answer the second question. An answer of no to the first question already answers the second.

As we and the Iraqis continue to round up and kill al Qaeda in Iraq leadership the Democrats seem even more desperate to get out before we defeat the enemy. Even Zarqawi was more realistic about the status of the war than todays Democrats. They apper to want to do for Iraq what they did for South Vietnam--cut and run before the job is done. They just want to look like they are leaving with dignity.

Dignity can't cover the fear in their eyes, nor will Osama fail to notice they are proving him right about the US's ability to stand up to al Qaeda. He says the retreat from Mogudishu and Beirut convinced him that the US was not committed to victory. That is Murtha's example of how we should deal with terrorism in Iraq. To Osama it was an example that we were the weak horse.
