If Democrats are upset there must be good news

What happens if the Iraqi national political leaders start coming together and the Iraqi Parliament begins making great progress? My guess is that instead of hearing praise from the Democrats for the success, we will see the goalposts being moved and attention being shifted yet again.

The problem for Democrats is that they have spent the past four years making Iraq into the ?be all? and ?end all? of not only this presidency, but of the Republican party as a whole. Good news in Iraq is good news for America, but as a result of Democrats spending the past four years investing in the defeatist position, good news in Iraq is not good news for their political prospects. Earlier this week, House Majority Whip James Clyburn said that a positive report from General David Petraeus on Iraq would be ?a real big problem for us.? It doesn?t necessarily have to be that way though.


I will offer the following advice to Democrats in Congress knowing it is unlikely that they will accept it: Instead of ignoring, or worse denigrating, every word of progress our forces have worked to accomplish in Iraq, acknowledge that progress and celebrate it. You can still point out the areas in which progress is lacking. Just be honest about the good news there is to report.

Right now, the Democrats, as a community, are traitors, cowards and liars. Under Skag Hillary, THE WAR WILL EXPAND AND GET MUCH MORE COSTLY, in life and treasure. Hypocrites.:thumbdown:

"TRAITORS,COWARDS AND LIARS"The war expanded when you invaded invaded iraq :thumbdown: 150,000 plus troops,in a country that had nothing to do with 9/11.
