PENTAGON SLAPS BILLARY

The Pentagon has finally spoken out against the harmful effects of all defeatist talk here at home. At least now I am not alone in pointing out and condemning statements urging surrender to Al Qaeda that only encourage our enemies. Legitimate and reasoned opposition to policy is not the issue, but rather the harmful effects of outrageous public statements. The Democraps have mastered the art of screeds harmful to the war effort, and it's past time they were taken to task for it.

Billary has been pushing the Pentagon to develop plans for withdrawal from the Iraq front. The pushing has been so persistent and public that the Defense Department finally had to say something. It's striking that the White House hasn't taken this issue up with all the Dems. Their public condemnations of Bush and a war effort vital to our national security are just not in the national interest. Admittedly some of the blame lies with the administration for not maintaining better communications with Congress. On the other hand, those making political hay out of shortsighted opposition to fighting Al Qaeda can't expect the buddy treatment. Both sides have fell short of the cooperation necessary for a comprehensive war effort. The Pentagon says talk of planning for withdrawal from the Iraq front fuels terrorist propaganda. No, really?

Billary continues to stick by her twisted Iraq policy. She wants to get the troops out, but Al Qaeda's there, so a "residual" force will remain. This begs the question of why any American would withdraw from a scrap with terrorists, especially when the enemy has designated it a central front. Front, ladies and gentlemen, not "Iraq War" like it's not part of the wider effort. The Senator from New York is stuck between primary and general election politics, and an essentially inexplicable strategy for Iraq is the result. That's a dangerous place for America to be.

Fellow Dems daring to oppose Billary in the primary are trying out the tactic of having their spouses criticize her. Elizabeth Edwards has led the pack on this. Boy, liberals sure are comfortable hiding behind skirts. Whether it's the war or calling talk shows, Dem candidates use their wives like relief pitching. Still, no one is really throwing or landing any punches.

Notice there is no picture for this entry. Think about it.
