Victory In Iraq Means Victory Against Defeatist Left

As improvements in Iraq continue, the anti-war left have failed to force us to retreat, and thus are changing their strategy

After a series of legislative defeats in 2007 that saw the year end with more U.S. troops in Iraq than when it began, a coalition of anti-war groups is backing away from its multimillion-dollar drive to cut funding for the war and force Congress to pass timelines for bringing U.S. troops home.

In recognition of hard political reality, the groups instead will lower their sights and push for legislation to prevent President Bush from entering into a long-term agreement with the Iraqi government that could keep significant numbers of troops in Iraq for years to come.

Remember what the Democrats a claimed they’d be able to do if they were in the majority. They said they’d get us out of Iraq. But they couldn’t. In the end, defeatism lost. It was their main priority as the majority. And they failed… as they’ve failed with so many other things on their so-called agenda… and it’s not just because Americans reject their liberal platform. It’s also because of their lack of leadership and incompetence.
