As signs of incredible progress in Iraq become clear to most, the desperate Democrats are STILL talking about timetables for withdrawal and defeat in Iraq. The last thing the Democrat Party can withstand is a successful mission in Iraq. The reason is simple, since voting in huge majorities to authorize the war, they have done everything imaginable to try to bring defeat to the United States, to the mid-east and to the people of Iraq.
The domestic insurgents in this country are fighting along side AlQaeda to defeat the mission. They share the same agenda, the same talking points.
They have tried to sour public opinion by claiming defeat at every turn, despite signs of historical progress in establishing a democratic government in the heart of the middle east. They have demonized the troops (Abu Ghraib, GITMO, Haditha) as torturers, dismissed the efforts of the Iraqi’s to stand on their own. They have no agenda on Iraq other than withdrawal and defeat.
Only one thing about the Iraq mission is perfectly clear for all to see. Everything we have accomplished in Iraq has been done despite the best efforts of the Democratic Party establishment.
They are a disgrace to this country.
Let’s compare and contrast defeatist John Kerry, pandering to the worst elements within his party, with the current situation on the ground,
Kerry now clear: Letâ??s abandon Iraq
By Boston Herald editorial staff

Call it Sen. John Kerry̢??s coming out party. At long last Kerry has adopted a coherent position on the war in Iraq Рand thrown in his lot with the Howard Dean/bring the troops home now wing of his party.
â??It is essential to acknowledge that the war itself was a mistake,â? Kerry told some 2,000 liberals assembled for the â??Take Back Americaâ? conference in Washington, D.C. â??It was wrong and I was wrong to vote for that Iraq war resolution.â?Â
Kerry is nothing if not brilliant at telling people what he thinks they want to hear. And if that means pandering to a group so to the left of the mainstream that they would boo and attempt to shout down Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.), then so be it.
â??I have to just say it: I do not think it is a smart strategy either for the president to continue with his open-ended commitment,â? Clinton said, â??nor do I think it is smart strategy to set a date certain. I do not agree that that is in the best interest of our troops or our country.â?Â
It was then that many in the crowd chanted, â??Bring the troops home, now.â?Â
Yep, theyâ??re now John Kerryâ??s people. And we truly hope theyâ??ll all be very happy together.
I wonder how that message goes over on the ground in Iraq, with our troops, the emerging Iraqi government or the Iraqi people? Especially when this is the news they are seeing on the ground,
Iraq Announces Info From Al-Zarqawi Raid
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) – Iraq’s national security adviser said Thursday a “huge treasure” of documents and computer records was seized after the raid on terror leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi’s hideout, giving the Iraqi government the upper hand in its fight against al-Qaida in Iraq.
National Security Adviser Mouwafak al-Rubaie also said he believed the security situation in the country would improve enough to allow a large number of U.S.-led forces to leave Iraq by the end of this year, and a majority to depart by the end of next year. “And maybe the last soldier will leave Iraq by mid-2008,” he said.
Al-Rubaie said a laptop, flashdrive and other documents were found in the debris after the airstrike that killed the al-Qaida in Iraq leader last week outside Baqouba, and more information has been uncovered in raids of other insurgent hideouts since then.
He called it a “huge treasure … a huge amount of information.”
When asked how he could be sure the information was authentic, al-Rubaie said “there is nothing more authentic than finding a thumbdrive in his pocket.”
“We believe that this is the beginning of the end of al-Qaida in Iraq,” al-Rubaie said, adding that the documents showed al-Qaida is in “pretty bad shape,” politically and in terms of training, weapons and media.
Just how desperate have things become for the insurgents in Iraq? READ THIS DOCUMENT seized in Zarqawi’s not-so-safe house. Then think about what the democrats aredoing and saying.
Let’s be blunt, a victory for America in Iraq is a defeat for the Democrat Party. There is simply no other way to put it at this point. As disgusted as I am with the Republicans on a number of issues, nothing they have done compares to the Democrats conduct on Iraq. I hope the American people understand this because the war against radical Islamic jihadist throat cutters cannot be led by people like John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi and Howard Dean.
