Give the Democratic Party two countries coming out from under dictatorial governments and they see nothing but problems which means we should abandon them. Kinda like terrorists want.

Democrats Refocus Message on Iraq After Military Gains Criticism Shifts
to Factional Unrest
Democratic leaders in Congress had planned to use August recess to raise the heat on Republicans to break with President Bush on the Iraq war. Instead, Democrats have been forced to recalibrate their own message in the face of recent positive signs on the security front, increasingly focusing their criticisms on what those military gains have not achieved: reconciliation among Iraq's diverse political
factions.
…
In the fight for the Democratic presidential nomination, former
senator John Edwards issued a scathing attack on Clinton's remark. But he said
there has been "progress in Al-Anbar province."
"Senator Clinton's view that the President's Iraq policy is
'working' is another instance of a Washington politician trying to have it both
ways," Edwards campaign manager David Bonior said in a statement. "You cannot be for the President's strategy in Iraq but against the war. The American people deserve straight talk and real answers on Iraq, not double-speak, triangulation, or political positioning."
First it was the military's inability to deal with problems. Then it was all Bush's fault or was Rumsfeld first. Throw in various military figures and government officials to blame and the Democratic trail of tears for America's honor just gets longer. Especially so because the Democrats always knew the Iraqis just aren't up to the task of the responsibilities of freedom and democracy. At least the Iraqis aren't up to it like Democrats are. After all they are Muslims, a religion Democrats support and revere, but still, you know, they are Muslim. Democrats understand democracy better than Republicans and better that Arabs, i.e. Muslims, because, well, they just do.
That is why Democrats are above double-speak, triangulation or political positioning. Since the surge isn't working, the war is really a civil war and all real Americans want the troops home, the Democrats will speak truth to power to the people during this August recess. They would never stoop to cheap politics by abandoning their principles and their real truth about the war.
Personally, I look forward to hear their plans during the recess. It is refreshing to listen to politicians that stick to their
Too bad about those Iraqis and Afghans though, eh?
