Where's the post highlighting Hillary Clinton's defeatist talk about the GOP benefiting from another terrorist attack?

Sure sounds like whiny, defeatist bunk to me! If Mrs. Clinton believes she can Win, why be so insecure about her own abilities to sell herself and her Party, no matter the terrorism that does or doesn't occur?

It would help the GOP if the Democratic nominee let it help, just like Kerry (another whiny, hesitant loser) let the Bin Laden video slow his momentum. The American people deserve a Democrat who will fight for all of us, not make excuses.

If Obama said this, you guys would be on it in 2 seconds flat!!!

If we leave al Qaeda will leave, and we can fight them in Afghanistan unless of course we deem that Bush has messed that one up so bad we need to leave there too. Then we'll leave some other places, and when we've run out of places to leave..............

BIG DEAL!!! With enough troops and police, hell can become a paradise. So are we supposed to stay there forever to keep the place from going back to hell again? And what town on the outskirts went to hell when the troops moved in here from there? And don't think that if the locals ever feel secure from al Qaeda they won't turn their guns on our troops. Until the Iraqi government gets their sh@# together, it's all just a game of whack-a-mole and our soldiers are dying for nothing.

Maybe we could use a surge in my upscale DC neighborhood. You can buy an ice cream cone, but before you get home with it a local gangbanger will take it away from you. We do have water and electricity most of the time though.

Kristin Haagen-Dazs bought ice cream! Woohoo we're winning!

Seriously though, it is very telling that they admit that if the locals co-operate with us it is a death sentence for them. We need to leave so they can go about the business of fixing their country without incurring a death sentence. No wonder all political progress is paralyzed. It is probably a death sentence to co-operate with the Maliki government since it is associated with us.

Agendas.... Even other US soldiers who are already in Anbar,unlike the moderators of First Read,are agreeing with the administrations estimate.[ We will point out here that when an equal number of seven Iraq veterans took their letter in support of the Surge to the New York Times yesterday,they refused to publish it as is their right....in pursuing....an Agenda.

Agendas... No mention by the MSM outside of his hometown newspaper [including MSNBC],of how a committed antiwar Democrat congressman [ Brian Baird] can come away changing his mind about the Surge after a visit to Iraq and now support it.

Agendas....First Read didn't bother to add that the NIEs assessment that combat support teams redefined into counterinsurgency operations which is a hallmark proposal of the Democrats, as a portion of ''redeployment'',and would result in failure in its bid to fight al Qaeda, was also a ''Key Finding''.

Agendas....Everyone by now has been bashing the new Ari-Fleisher-backed ad campaign run at a cost of over 10 million dollars that support the Surge,with its usual millionare,former GOP administration and thinktank supporters.
But no-one is talking about the new George Soros-backed ad campaign run at a cost of over 10 million dollars that opposes the Surge,with its usual billionare,former Democrat administration and thinktank supporters,with Tinseltown nabobs tossed in for good measure. PS: George Soros'HALLIBURTON stocks,according to Aug. 1 DOW averages,earned him over two million dollars in the month of July.

Can't. Guns aren't legally allowed in DC. The military would have to use their pen-knives (those are legal, right?) to go after the gangbangers. They wouldn't stand a chance.

Then we should accuse Virginia of helping the locals and bomb and invade Virginia.

Next time a Pro-War Hack is interviewed someone needs to ask what the IMPACT is if we stay for another decade. Oor TOP GENERAL ON THE GROUND Petraeus has said it will probably take at least a decade to "WIN".
How many more US Troops killed? 10,000?
How many more US Troops wounded? 50,000?
How many more ISF killed? 30,0000
How any more ISF Wounded? 150,000?
How many more Iraqi Civilians killed? 250,000?
How many more Iraqi Civilians wounded? 1.5 Million?
How many more Iraqi's will be displayed from their homes? 50,000/month? 6 Million?
Will there be any Iraqi's left to GOVERN or be GOVERNED when we "WIN" and establish a DEMOCRATIC IRAQ?

I would like to remind everyone that most countries were born out of civil war. To a large degree thats what is happening in Iraq now. Though there is no dought that in the past 2 months there has been a major sea change on the groud in Iraq. Mostly due to local iraquis standing up to insurgency. The political will is allways going to be behind the curve. Maybe we can stimulate some think tanks to come up with a withdrawal that is timely, measured and logistical. It is politically irresponsible to give Iran a free hand, especailly since they don't deserve it and probablly don't know what to do with it.
