John Lilyea of This Ain't Hell discusses the war and Irani duplicity as well as Irani torture and execution of prisoners. That one of the young punks that stormed our Tehran embassy and captured and held American citizens for 444 day is now the President of Iran is irony enough.
The bitter irony is that Senators and Representatives in the US Congress are aiding and abetting this now middle aged punk in undermining our effort every step of our march. Ahmadinijahd
Carl Levin is the newest replacement in the Democrat's game of blaming the U.S. for every ill in the world and doing so in the most public venue possible. This time every one's favorite Uncle Carl just returned from Iraq and wearing his most senatorial smugness declared:
Senator Calls for Maliki's Ouster
Declaring the government of Iraq “non-functional,” the influential
chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee said yesterday that Iraq’s
parliament should oust Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and his cabinet if they
are unable to forge a political compromise with rival factions in a matter of
days.
“I hope the parliament will vote the Maliki government out of
office and will have the wisdom to replace it with a less sectarian and more
unifying prime minister and government,” Sen. Carl M. Levin (D-Mich.) said after
a three-day trip to Iraq and Jordan.
Why would a Senator say this publicly knowing it would hurt our effort in Iraq? This man is fully aware that of the damage talk like this does and in my mind any glib retort he may offer would be a lie.
The easy answer is that Levin wants to hurt President Bush or just plain BDS and tactically using this talk for regaining power for the Democrat Party. The less easier answer is that Levin wants to hurt our effort in Iraq. Is the real answer either of these or is the answer something much worse? Is Levin a traitor?
Levin is just one of the talking heads in Congress along with Reid, Schumer, Pelosi and others. When one hears others such as a Kucinich and Paul jabber, it is easy to dismiss their talk because they are little and a little off, but not Levin, et al. They are intelligent people who are fully aware of what they are doing.
So why? They know they are empowering our enemy which results in more American deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan. They have also known that America is moving in a positive direction in Iraq, but have doggedly stated the opposite and when even the press admits some success, then Levin et al pivot and say it's really about Maliki, or the inability of Iraqi's to accept self rule or some such nonsense.
What is it that a Levin wants? I truly believe he knows we are succeeding in Iraq, just as he knows that he is assisting the enemy. Yet he knowingly continues on with words and tactics that harm not just our troops, but our country as well.
I really can't believe that this is just a cheap and horrific method to defeat Republicans and regain political power for the Democrats. That is too tawdry a goal made even more tawdry by using dead American troops as stepping stones to that victory.
It is easier to believe their hatred of George W. Bush has clouded their sense of reasoning, but still, are they so blinded that they knowingly embolden those that have pledged to kill us just to assuage that hate? I truly hope to God it is not, but even that amount of hate wouldn't make them turn on America. Would it?
When the Jane Fonda's of the world aided and abetted the enemy during Vietnam they did aid the greater effort of communism, but MAD and Vietnam's small military stature didn't allow for them to bring the fight here to our shores. Terrorists have and can still bring the fight here to America and Levin knows it. The fight is different today. Our enemy doesn't wear uniforms on the battlefield nor do they use tactics of truth and debate in negotiations, but as radical Muslims they have a uniform belief that America needs to be destroyed and that they can accomplish this goal because America is soft, has no faith nor faith in herself.
Levin et al prove them right everyday.
But why?
