Pelosi Moonbats About Cheney Remarks
Nancy Pelosi, Moonbat of the House, is whining about a statement V.P. Cheney made recently. From FoxNews:
"You cannot say as the president of the United States, 'I welcome disagreement in a time of war,' and then have the vice president of the United States go out of the country and mischaracterize a position of the speaker of the House and in a manner that says that person in that position of authority is acting against the national security of our country," the speaker said.The quarrel began in Tokyo, where Cheney used an interview to criticize Pelosi and Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., over their plan to place restrictions on Bush's request for an additional $93 billion for the Iraq war to make it difficult or impossible to send 21,500 extra troops to Iraq.
"I think if we were to do what Speaker Pelosi and Congressman Murtha are suggesting, all we will do is validate the Al Qaeda strategy," the vice president told ABC News. "The Al Qaeda strategy is to break the will of the American people ... try to persuade us to throw in the towel and come home, and then they win because we quit."
I don't see how a strategy based on retreat and surrender to the enemy is considered patriotic or victorious. The armchair quarterbacks in Congress who are pushing to prevent not only the "surge," but also continued operations in Iraq, seem to believe that letting al-Qaeda and Iran gain control of Iraq as being a good thing. If they don't believe that the "surge" will help secure Baghdad, and then Iraq as a whole, they should let it take place, then they could at least say "told you so," instead of putting everything that our troops have done, including their sacrifices, at risk.
Patton once said that America loves a winner, and will not tolerate a loser. That was during WW2. Today, the mantra from the liberal-left is "America loves a loser, and will not tolerate a winner, unless it is an enemy of America."
Pelosi and the assorted Moonbats and Chicken Doves in Congress should not work to hamstring our Armed Forces in Iraq, and should do everything in its power to foster liberty and democracy in the Middle East, not abandon it because the job is tougher than they would like it to be.
