Clyburn: Positive Report by Petraeus Could Split House Democrats on War
When the Chief heard this one on the radio this afternoon, he KNEW that it had to be grist for the blogging mill! This Donk Cong is showing his true colors…and they ain’t red, white, and blue!
House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) said Monday that a strongly positive report on progress on Iraq by Army Gen. David Petraeus likely would split Democrats in the House and impede his party’s efforts to press for a timetable to end the war.
Clyburn, in an interview with the washingtonpost.com video program PostTalk, said Democrats might be wise to wait for the Petraeus report, scheduled to be delivered in September, before charting next steps in their year-long struggle with President Bush over the direction of U.S. strategy.
Clyburn noted that Petraeus carries significant weight among the 47 members of the Blue Dog caucus in the House, a group of moderate to conservative Democrats. Without their support, he said, Democratic leaders would find it virtually impossible to pass legislation setting a timetable for withdrawal.
No comment on the fact that a positive report from the General would indicate progress toward winning in Iraq. Ooooooh, no! THAT’s not important. What IS important is that this would interfere with the Donks’ imagined divine right to advance their political agenda at all costs, including the failure of the nation’s military efforts.
Sedition if not treason. ’nuff said.
The REAL importance of that would be that it would interfere
It’s a pretty sad commentary when one of the two primary political parties in our countries admits it’s election strategy is to undermine our military (as it shows increasing progress in the war) in order to regain personal political power.
Have they stopped teaching civics in our schools? Is treason simply another lifestyle choice?
It’s not really the BIG terrorist attack that causes me as much concern (although I AM concerned) but it’s the incremental erosion of libery and freedom that the populance allows, as it searches not to itself, it’s families nor it’s communites for strengh but the Federal Government as an all knowing – all powerful “Daddy” that has the power to protect us from all “evil”.
Sheep, Predator or Shepard?? Make a choice!
