How often have we heard the phrase “I’m against the war but I support the troops”?
Well, it’s turned out to be just another lie from the leftards in Congress. Today’s Wall Street Journal reports the following.
“Even Barack Obama, who opposed the Iraq troop surge, has finally acknowledged its success. But some of his fellow Democrats in Congress apparently remain unconvinced. Earlier this week, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Armed Services Chairman Carl Levin teamed up to block a vote on a bipartisan resolution “recognizing the strategic success of the troop surge in Iraq” and thanking our men and women in uniform for their efforts.” [...]
Well, what do you expect? Naturally, the libtards are outraged due to the success of our troops. From the same editorial.
[...]“The reality is that success in Iraq has confounded the political left, which placed a huge political bet on our defeat. Senator Reid famously declared the war lost in April 2007. Joe Biden introduced a resolution opposing the surge. And Hillary Clinton said the reports of progress in Iraq required “a willing suspension of disbelief.” In the Democratic narrative, our troops in Iraq are victims of a lost cause, not heroes. They’re allowed to get maimed and killed, but not to succeed.” [...]
[...]“The Lieberman-Graham resolution is a chance for Democrats to show that their support for the troops is more than rhetorical. It changes no policy and in that sense is only symbolic. Yet it is precisely the political symbolism of admitting they were wrong that is stopping the Democratic leadership from letting it come up for a vote before the Senate adjourns. Unfortunately, the last thing that Democrats want to discuss in this election season is success in Iraq.”
Harry Reid is just a disgusting piece of human garbage. So is every Senator who didn’t force Reid to hold a vote on this.
It’s a good the WSJ is in business. I doubt we’ll see any reporting of this incident in the MSM….after all, the MSM doesn’t support the troops, either.
