This Ain't The 60's; "Cut And Run" Is No Longer In Fashion
Looks like today brought bad news for liberals in this country. Congress voted 93 against 6 not to abandon the fledgling new democracy in Iraq, not to pull our troops out and give Islamo-Fascist terrorists a victory and the confirmation that their cause is winnable. It looks like the appeasement party isn’t winning anybody over to their appeasement, “cut and run” agenda. It looks like the glory days of Viet Nam, when the liberals dominated the scene are thankfully over.
Here are some highlights from an article found here, of what was said from both sides:
“The war was a grotesque mistake. The administration continues to dig a hole. They refuse to come up and see the light.” - Nancy Pelousi, Democrat Senator from California
This was her counter to what House Speaker, Dennis Hastert, Republican Representative from Illinois said:
“We must stand firm in our commitment to fight terrorism and the evil it inflicts throughout the world. We must renew our resolve that the actions of evildoers will not dictate American policy."
Kerry and other Democrats accused Republicans of political gamesmanship, and promised an authentic debate next week. He and five other Democrats were in the minority on the vote - Russ Feingold of Wisconsin, Barbara Boxer of California, Robert Byrd of West Virginia, Tom Harkin of Iowa, and Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts.
Rep. Ike Skelton, D-Mo., began his remarks by asking for a moment of silence to mark the 2,500th U.S. combat death.
In this fight for the future of peace, freedom and democracy in the Middle East and around the globe, winning should be our only option," said Rep. Phil Gingrey, R-Ga.
"Stay and we'll pay," countered Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., who criticized "the failed policy of this administration" and lamented the lives lost, billions of dollars spent and the bruised U.S. image since the war started. "It's time to redeploy and be ready." he said.
Democrats decried the debate as a sham. They said Republicans promised an open discussion but, instead, stacked the deck in their own favor by limiting debate to 10 hours and barring any amendments.
"Republicans offer a political document, just before the fall elections," Rep. Ron Kind, D-Wis., said. Added Rep. Tom Lantos, D-Calif.: "They are forcing us into a charade."
They also complained that Republicans refused to allow them to present an alternative resolution. But even though they tried, Democrats weren't able to agree on such an alternative.
I like the last bit of whining from the Democrats quoted from above. “They stacked the deck in their favor by only giving us 10 hours to debate…they are forcing us into a charade…they (Republicans) refused to let us present an alternative resolution…boo hoo hoo.
As for the whine about only 10 hours of debate being made available to them, it doesn’t matter how many hours, days, months granted the Democrats to argue their viewpoint, they never would be able to, since they always try to evade admitting that they are for cowardly appeasement to the enemy and admitting that they never support the U.S. troops, but instead support the enemy. They never present any rational arguments to support their agenda. They just make arrogant statements and then when they are challenged, resort to name calling and whining.
As to being forced into a “charade”, I beg to differ. Charade is what the liberals are all about. The charade that they actually care about the poor and have alone declared a “War on Poverty”, that they alone care about minorities by offering employment quotas and endless monetary handouts to minorities from the government for their vote.
And then there’s the really pathetic whine: “[snivel] They won’t let us present our alternative. I know we lost the elections that would have maintained our dominance in Congress, but still….we should be allowed to rule”.
Why anyone could possibly vote for these sniveling losers is beyond me. I welcome the death of the Democrat/Liberal Socialist Party with the condition that we get an alternative major political party in its place to stand up against this nation’s other big government party, the Republicans.

Karen Hughes is great: She is sending kids from around the world to the World Cup. This will be fun for the kids and help to improve Germany's image.
The Dems are not promoting "Cut and Run". They are saying "let's go fight the real war on terror" and not a war that we were lied too, killing needless numbers of our brothers and sisters.
Anonymous (coward?),
How can you possibly believe that the democrat's are not calling for a "cut and run" (ref. Mogidishu (sp?) under Clinton), strategy?
Lied to? How? Recent evidence has proven that Bush was right about both the WMD and the Hussein/al Qaeda ties.
Those soldiers who have fallen are dear to me too, but unlike you, I remember vividly 9/11, in fact I remember 1979, the first Islamic terrorist attacks on Americans via the kidnapping of American hostages in the US Embassy in Teran. Do you?
I think if there is enough people that will open their ears they might have heard about the papers they found that had (how to build an atomic bomb) over in IRAQ and it was posted online and then quickly taken off. Isn't this proof enough. Or how about when they interrigated one of Saddams scientist and he said that the weapons were moved by Saddam and burried. Don't worry everyone will know soon enough if we leave Iraq..then the insurgents will simply go get them..or better yet buy some from S.K. or Iran, then we will say...OH YEAH thats what this was all about...while you bend over and kiss it good-bye.
"Don't worry everyone will know soon enough if we leave Iraq..then the insurgents will simply go get them..."
Exactly!!! I assume you aren't the same anonymous that posted the first comment.

There will never be enough proof for liberals. They hate President Bush so much that they are willing to sacrifice one of their proclaimed causes; human rights to declare the was in Iraq illegal and unnecessary.
To them, Sadaam should have been left alone, (rape rooms, torture chambers and all). So much for the liberal human rights cause.
