Just like they ignore the words of a letter sent from Iraq to Harry Reid stating:

"YOUR WORDS ARE KILLING US"

Democrats shrug shoulders , who cares we're going to gain 20 seats!

Rob.

They don't care to respond to message that don't match their current train of though. I send my Senator a message every few months and I always request a response but I never get one. I guess if I told him that he was doing a good job and I supported his efforts all i would get is a donation letter so maybe I'm not missing much.

The democrat party listened to Hanoi Jane and Hanoi John in the 60-70's and surrendered their honor to the radical communist faction in the U.S. Without honor you are nothing. Now an accurate description of the democrat party and they're followers.

I remember exactly where I was when I heard Kennedy had been shot, when I heard Elvis was gone, when I heard Challenger had exploded, and when I first saw that "Last Helicopter" picture on the front of The Daily Texan. The other incidents left me sad; the Helicopter picture left me mad as Hell. Our Iraq vets deserve better (but then, so did we.) No soldier deserves to come back from a war to be told "Oh, never mind, it wasn't important. Thanks for your time anyway. Sorry your friends died for nothing." No Gold Star parent needs to be told "Never mind. It wasn't important to begin with. Sorry about that." At least Charlie didn't follow us home; the jihadis will, and I hope when the heads start rolling some key Dhimmicrats are first in line.

I was an instructor at the US Army Infantry School at Ft. Benning GA the day the last helicopter left. A bunch of us met at the NCO club that night swilled a beer or two and remembered lost buddies and thought of ARVN's we worked with, Kit Carsons, and civilian friends left behind. Meanwhile liberal congressmen hailed the cut of funding as a great victory while america sat complacently on their collective ass. Jane Fonda, John Kerry, et al returned to civilian life and fame after clearly violating US statutes wrt providing aid and comfort to the enemy. No prosecution, we needed to "heal". Heal???? Yeah, for everyone except us dogfaces and jarheads. And in the end, over three million people died in Cambodia and Vietnam. I guess Uncle Ho and Pol Pot didn't get the memo on "healing". Have you noticed that the liberals NEVER want to talk about what their socialist brethern wrought in Southeast Asia???

And now, the same liberals are at work again, except it's not just liberals, it's the entire democratic party. Good guys like FDR, Truman, and Scoop Jackson would never have put up with this. Joe Liebermann has showns he belongs in this group as well. And instead of it being driven by protests in the street, it's engine is a group of guilt-ridden billionaires and a handful of self-appointed bloggers who claim to speak for "the people".

For those who weren't around to witness the previous betrayal and accompanying slaughter please pull up a seat, get your vitawater and granola bar and enjoy the show. A whole new generation of GI's will be denegrated and forgotten, the military will be allowed to fall into disrepair again, Iraqi's by the thousands, maybe more, will meet the same fate as the Vietnamese and Cambodians. But what the hell, no skin off your ass 'cus BUSH LIED!!!

Unfortunately this time the enemy isn't locally-focused. He'll have the second-largest oil reserves in the world to fund his adventures to include buying nuke technology. The geographic location of his new home will provide control over the region and directly threaten Isreal to an extent never before seen. But what the hell, MARCHROVEOUTINHANDCUFFS!

And in the end you show yourselves to be the short-sighted fools you are. It's more important to let illegal aliens into "sanctuary cities" that enforce immigration laws that protect us all. It's more important for your "rights" to not be infringed upon by the Patriot Act than to allow for surveylance of suspected enemy operatives, of course your rights have never actually been trampled but CHENEYHALLIBURTON! And of course when the next attack occurs it'll be everyone's fault but yours. After all, you are patriotic, even when giving the enemy classified info via the WaPost and NYTimes, and a date we'll be surrendering. But DONTQUESTIONMYPATRIOTISM.

Pull your chair up and get the eats ready. Call Stanley Karnow and Oliver Stone. The show will soon begin. Of course you'll probably not be watching. Too busy buying carbon credits and telling others what vehicle they can drive....you've moved on to important stuff.

To my fellow vietnam vets (and other vets as well) thsnks for pickin' off the leeches, eatin "ham and muthas", burnin' sh*t, and all the little things. I don't need to mention the bigger ones.

"The Democrats who are trying their damnedest to surrender to al Qaeda in Iraq.."

If we 'surrender' to al Qaeda in Iraq, what will happen to al Qaeda in Iraq?

The other day I provided my theory; now I would like to hear yours and any one else's.

If we surrender to Al Quaeda in Iraq, what will happen to Al Quaeda in Iraq?

AQ wins a greater proganda victory than the defeat of the Soviets in Afghanistan ever was.

This would cause in no particular order...

1. Civilian deaths in Iraq will sky-rocket as AQ comes to power and tries to kill all that don't bow-down to them.
2. The mother of all refugee crisis will occur as millions flee Iraq to get away from AQ.
3. Regional Instability will ensue as AQ tries to topple Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, etc. World economic impact will be horrendous
4. AQ efforts in Afghanistan will surge, possibly putting the Taliban back in charge.
4a. Serious effort to topple the Pakistani governmtent will ensue with goal of seizing thier nuclear weapons.
5. Solid democracies in modern Islamic societies (Turkey, Indonesia, Egypt, etc) will be threatened as their Jihadists receive additional support from AQ and are encouraged by AQ's successes.
6. AQ and associates will be emboldened to increase activities in Europe and the U.S.
7. AQ and extremist activites in the various 'Stans' of the former Soviet Union will increase, causing increased instability in emerging democracies around the Caspian Sea region.

That should be good for a start.

In case anybody missed BarneyG2000's "theory" on Iraq, here it is:

Lorie, I think it is a great idea to have an honest discussion on what we think may happen if we leave Iraq. Here is what I think will happen to al Qaeda in Iraq.

Al Qaeda in Iraq is made of foreign fighters. They are not aligned with the Ba'athist. They are responsible for some truly terrible attacks mostly on Shiite but also on Sunni.

The day we leave the Shiite controlled security forces and the Shiite militias will descend on al Qaeda members like locus. They will be rounded up, tortured, burned alive and then shot in the head.

The Sunnis will not object nor provide refuge to al Qaeda.

If you want to get rid of al Qaeda in Iraq then redeploy the troops.

I second Matt's assessment with one addition... here's what the 911 Commission report said about Bin Laden's assessment in 1996 of our retreat in Somalia:

P.48
"In August 1996, Bin Ladin had issued his own self-styled fatwa calling on Muslims to drive American soldiers out of Saudi Arabia.The long, disjointed document condemned the Saudi monarchy for allowing the presence of an army of infidels in a land with the sites most sacred to Islam, and celebrated recent suicide bombings of American military facilities in the Kingdom. It praised the 1983 suicide bombing in Beirut that killed 241 U.S. Marines, the 1992 bombing in Aden, and especially the 1993 firefight in Somalia after which the United States "left the area carrying disappointment, humiliation, defeat and your dead with you."3 Bin Ladin said in his ABC interview that he and his followers had been preparing in Somalia for another long struggle, like that against the Soviets in Afghanistan, but "the United States rushed out of Somalia in shame and disgrace." Citing the Soviet army's withdrawal from Afghanistan as proof that a ragged army of dedicated Muslims could overcome a superpower, he told the interviewer: "We are certain that we shall--with the grace of Allah--prevail over the Americans." He went on to warn that "If the present injustice continues . . . , it will inevitably move the battle to American soil."4 Plans to attack the United States were developed with unwavering single mindedness throughout the 1990s. Bin Ladin saw himself as called "to follow in the footsteps of the Messenger and to communicate his message to all nations,"5 and to serve as the rallying point and organizer of a new kind of war to destroy America and bring the world to Islam.

Sorry, computer glitch posted above before finished, not all formatting correct ...

How will Al Queda's assessment of the US be any different 11 year's later if we pull out now?

Bin Laden's words: "We are certain that we shall--with the grace of Allah--prevail over the Americans." He went on to warn that "If the present injustice continues . . . , it will inevitably move the battle to American soil."

You are gonna trust the Shiites to flush out and destroy Al Queda? They never stood up to the Ba'athist minority when they were in charge, and now they're suddenly gonna grow some gonards? I doubt it.

And the link to that section of the 911 Commission Report.

This would cause in no particular order...

Every one of Matt's scenarios is based on the false premise that AQ is powerful in Iraq. The reality is that they're hated in Iraq, by both the Sunnis and Shiites, and they represent only about 3% of the fighters there now. If someone wants to suppose a future scenario, it needs to be rooted in current fact.

Brian, in your search for the "facts" please don't forget that according to General Patreus' latest testimony (the one Nancy couldn't fit into her busy schedule) AQ is committing far and away the bulk of the violence, while being composed of approxiamtely 80 to 90% non-Iraqis.

"Powerful," is a relative term and changes very rapidly. Powerful compared to what?

The Bolesheviks in Czarist Russia waren't very powerful.
The Nazis party in Germany weren't very powerful compared.
The Fascists in Italy weren't very powerful.
The Communists in Cuba weren't very powerful.

Etc.
