The Democrats' big lie about ending the war

John Podesta, Rakeyh and Lawrence Korb make the bogus claim that only Democrats can end the war. The fact is that Democrats can only order a retreat that will prolong the war and result in more American casualties. They would give al Qaeda bragging rights to defeating the US and boost al Qaeda's PR campaign while dispiriting allies who have joined our fight against al Qaeda in Iraq and elsewhere.

The best way to end the war is to defeat the enemy and defeat his strategy so that we will not be faced with future adversaries who use an insurgency strategy. The Democrats are showing themselves to be ignorant of both warfare and strategy. It is why they should not be trusted on national security issues.

They want to go back to a strategy of absorbing blows and and responding with lawyers. They would put us on the strategic defensive. It would be a return to the failed policies of the Clinton administration. They would also put terrorist rights above the lives of Americans. Their concern for terrorist privacy is bazaar. Their belief that terrorist captured on the battlefield are entitled to a Miranda warning and a lawyer demonstrates they want to return to lawfare from warfare. It would be a return to the polices that gave us 9-11, the Cole bombing and the African embassy bombings.

The policies favored by the Democrats would be a good deal for al Qaeda, but bad for America and would squander the investments we have made in destroying this wicked enemy.

They want to invest instead in sink hole programs for greedy Democrat constituency groups. These vote buying schemes and appeals to selfishness ahead of national security are the opposite of what this country needs.
