What more can be said about our defeatist Congress? Disgusting. They have chosen to abandon our troops, although their words sound high and mighty--their actions have told professional military officers who are planning and executing the war in Iraq that they are stupid and that untrained, non-military Congresspeople know more about how to run a war.
17 White Flag Republicans, as they are now known as, joined the Defeatocrats. Two Democrats exhibited the bravery and strength of Truman.
Someone recently said that Congress does not having the mettle of the American
people. If you say that about our WW2 generation, I
would agree wholeheartedly. But obviously we are not as great as our brave
forebearers, since we elected a defeatist Congress. We as a country do not have
the guts that our parents' generation had.
What if Ike
gave up on D-Day? What if MacArthur did not return to the Philippines? What if
Hap Arnold looked at his losses in the air war over Europe and said, no more?
Only if we had a Truman in Congress. We have one in the White House, but it's not popular being commander in chief. Being a real leader is never popular.
Only if our Congress had
the backbone that our troops in the field have--that would be a victorious team
wouldn't it? The military won Vietnam, Congress lost it. The Defeatocrats and the 17 White Flag Republicans want to repeat history, and we can't let them.
