The Left Needs a New Mantra

Maybe it's because of the whole dabacle down in Crawford with Cindy Sheehan, although I don't want to give her credit for anything, but it seems we have a renewed interest from the politicians on the left, and that includes Hagel, that we need to get out of Iraq and we need an exit strategy.

Whether the new draft of an Iraqi constitution will get the Sunni's support or not, I don't know, but there is, and always has been an exit strategy by the Bush white house. It's not a long sentence and the words aren't too big, so even a hard left, vitriolic spewing left winger should be able to read and comprehend the concept. Are you ready? It's called winning. That is the exit strategy and it drives the left nuts. There are two reasons for this. One, they don't remember what winning is like (oh that's right, W stole the elections both times...dragging a larger majority in both houses along with him). Two, and this goes back to the Vietnam era radicals led by John "three scratches and your out" Kerry and his buddy Ted "Chapequidic" Kennedy. Simply put, these people don't want America to win. They are the headliners of the "Blame America first" campaign. If the United States of America is out in front on any issue the world over, you can count on these people, and their allies (Michael Moore, George Soros, Jimmy Carter, Barbara Boxer, etc...) to trash this president and this country. It's pathetic and these people need to start being voted out of office.

The Iraqi constitution will be ratified in October, and they will hold elections for a permanent parliament in December. Concurrently, the Iraqi's will be taking more and more of the security measures in their country on themselves. That is as it should be. Will there be hiccups (no, that isn't a slam at Kennedy) along the way? Yes. They are called growing pains. Will the U.S. need to keep a presence there? Probably. But there will be a steady decrease in terrorist attacks as the Iraqi's grow more and more tired of seeing their innocent men, women and children slaughtered. As this happens, there will be a steady decrease in the amount of U.S. and coalition troops that will be necessary in the region.

Winning is the one and only exit strategy that we should be considering. Thank God the elections went the way they did here at home.
