Republicans: "American's ... want to... give the enemy ... victory" |
|
Republicans believe that anyone who wants out of Iraq then wants to "give the enemey... victory".
We need to turn Ken Melhman's and the rest of their words back on them.
60% of Americans want out of Iraq.
Mehlman said:
"MR. MEHLMAN: David, there’s no question we’re in a tough political environment. We’re in the sixth year of a president’s term, we know that. We’re in the middle of a tough war. But the focus now is going to be who’s on the ballot? What are the choices? And I don’t believe Americans, in the middle of a tough war, as they see these plots, want to weaken the tools and surrender the tools that are critical to keeping Americans safe. I don’t think they want to weaken how we interrogate potential terrorists. I don’t think they want to weaken the surveillance. I don’t think they want to kill the Patriot Act, and I certainly don’t want to think that they give the enemy the kind of victory that the 9/11 Commission had said they would have if we cut and run from Iraq."
If they are going to frame the debate as a lack of support for their particular policies equates to "giving the enemy victory"... then we need to hold them accountable for that thought.
I don't think American's would support being described as borderline traitors like that.

1. They ARE the party of torture and survellience, gotta give them that. |
|
If the American people aren't offended by these kinds of cheap shots, they'd best wake up soon.

We are supposed to be working in tandem with the Iraqi government, which enemy? The ones that we have created all over the globe since our invasion into Iraq based on bad intelligence as Mr. Bush calls it.

You're right, Kenny boy. You're not thinking.
