How the Democrats undermine operations in Iraq

Captain's Quarters has an interview with Colonel Stephen Twitty, Commander of the 4th Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, Multi-National Division-North (MND-N) on the progress in Ninewah. In the course of the interview he made this comment:

...

... Col. Twitty confirms that the highly-publicized demands to retreat from Iraq has damaged his command's ability to get good intel from the local populace. It has left them distrustful of the Americans, and fearful of a takeover by the terrorists in the wake of our departure. See the Colonel's answer to my question at the bottom.

...
Col. Twitty also noted the absence of media reporting on the progress his forces are making in the area. If it were not for bloggers the public in this country would know nothing of what is going on. That fits the agenda of the Democrats and the liberals in the media who want to lose, but it is not in our national security interest, just as the Democrats' call for retreat is undermining support not only in Iraq but else where in the region.
