Candidates Of Surrender Debate On Who Is Most Anti-War
Have you noticed how much the Democrats like to proclaim "The American People have spoken" when pushing their policy of surrender to terrorists? A little belated, this is off of FoxNews; Hillary Clinton speaks:
"The American people have spoken. The Congress has voted, as of today, to end this war. And now we can only hope that the president will listen."
The last I checked, the American People are, at best, divided when it comes to the ongoing military operations in Iraq. Many Democrats newly elected to the House and Senate won their elections in closely contested districts and states. My Congressman, John Kline (R-MN, 2nd District) won easily against his far-left anti-war opponent, Colleen Rowley.
For the Democrats to claim that the American People have spoken in support implies that all Americans support the call to set a date of Surrender to Terrorists. Although there is a pretty good sized segment of the population that wants to see America defeated by terrorists and sectarian death squads operating in Iraq, I seriously doubt that they constitute a majority.
There is also another classic bit from the piece on the debate:
In an exchange that may resonate as the campaign continues, both Obama and Edwards declined to endorse military retaliation for a hypothetical simultaneous attack on two American cities that the United States knows Al Qaeda perpetrated. The two said they would analyze U.S. intelligence and homeland security failures first and while they did not absolutely rule out military retaliation, their answers looked inward. Obama said he would "potentially take some action" against Al Qaeda. Edwards said "there are more tools than bombs."
What Obama and Edwards are saying is that they would appease and surrender to terrorists. "Let al-Qaeda win," to paraphrase a line from Star Wars.
The culture of terror is one that does not respect the "turn the other cheek" philosophy, instead interpreting non-action or appeasement as weakness, which invites further attacks.
On the point of laughable, during the debate some candidates asked if they ever had a gun in their home, to which Kucinich raised is hands. Earth to Kucinich, they did not mean squirt guns.
