Democrats--the terrorist last hope

Strata-Sphere:

Why has the Iraq war dragged on so long? What motivates the terrorists to keep trying and killing as they are wiped out in vast numbers? The hope behind the terrorists continued efforts is partly the martyrdom angle, but as many intercepted Al Qaeda communique’s point out, the Arab Muslim street is not going to die for nothing. So where does the Islamo Fascist find hope? In the American media and the American left. This has been said many times by many others, but the terrorists can only win if the Democrats get their way and surrender. So Olberman and Mathews rant every night and the Jihadists have hope. Murtha proposes our forces invade Okinawa instead of dealing with Baghdad, and the Jihadists double their efforts.

Bush and Rumsfeld may have made some marginal mistakes, but the left has been the group that has made the war harder and longer than it needed to be. If the terrorists saw no hope in the US pulling out, they would not be killing Arabs so they can get on the nightly news with Katie Couric. If the Arab street knew there was no way to deflect the will of America, they would not put up with the terrorism against them. The Arabs tolerate this war because they believe in sacrifice and they believe the Democrats will surrender. There is nothing else sustaining this war right now. You don’t put up with war if you think it is a lost cause. This is the very logic of the democrats themselves, so no one can make the case this is not what is happening. The democrats see Iraq as a lost cause and want out.

...

There is more. Both the Democrats and the enemy are desperate for the US to be defeated in Iraq. At this point the terrorist are doing their part by driving up casualties in a militarily insignificant manner which the media and the Democrats in turn try to make significant even though these casualties do not change the corelation of forces.
