As U.S. casualties have continued to drop, many people on the anti-Bush side of the aisle have begun to quietly panic in recent days over this question: "Could George W. Bush and Frederick Kagan have possibly been right about the surge?"

Are they more worried about their political calculations than they are about human life?

Answer 1

The liberals would not believe we were winning the war on terrorism, even if we…

Surrounded the hideout of Saddam’s murderous, rapist, psychopathic sons and annihilated them.

Discovered Hussein himself, hiding in a spider hole and turned him over to the Iraqi people to face THEIR justice….

Liberated the citizen of Iraq and allowed them to vote in a free election…

Kill about a kabillion insurgents…

Hunted down and disposed of few top terrorist leaders….maybe even that Zarqawi dude…

Oh, my bad….The news from the left is so bad, I almost forgot how much our fighting men and women have accomplished.

Old news they say..?. There is no old news, only a series of achievements that have led and will continue to lead us to victory.

Answer 2

I am single mum. I have been suffering for panic attacks for some 15 years now, though it was not until recently I understood what they were. They were progressively getting stronger and more frequent, stopping me from some days even leaving my house. I read this book and it all made perfect sense.

I am not saying I was not terrified of putting theory to action, I was more scared of that than the next attack! But I decided to view it as a game, one I had control of and could therefore not lose!

Answer 3

I do not know which is more amusing, the left's meltdown over the success of the surge or their denials that they are in panic mode.

They all seem to follow the same MO, first they call you an idiot or the like, deny they are melting down then they launch into shrill rants.

I do not know why I bother purchasing cable television, liberals flying off the handle is so much more entertaining.

Answer 4

I wouldn't say they are in a panic, they just don't believe that the surge = the drop in violence, and come up with a convoluted way to "prove" their point. They would never admit that anything that is not their idea is not right either, that would be too close to thinking they are wrong.

Answer 5

I Love It!....I was for the war before I was against it is what lost the 2004 election.......
....Could it be that Americans no longer want Fish Oil salesman in Politics....I think it is a good sign, for
Us that realize we have to Win in Iraq ..........can you imagine us winning, how could the Dems spin that?......those who are all things to all people, end up being Nothing to Anybody.....so I am glad to see them swirm, myself!,,,,,as in heaven forbid they take a position and be proven Wrong!

Answer 6

I was wondering when it was going to be okay to talk about that. It's definitely been a slow news week. Did you see the news Monday? First they covered an alleged accusation of a sexual impropriety that occured in Africa, between two Africans, and then they showed live Helicopter footage of a plane that didn't crash, on which nobody was hurt, after it landed at the airport that it was going to.

Answer 7

Liberals don't want victory or even any good news coming out of Iraq. That would hurt their chances in the 2008 elections and for liberals it is almost always party before country. This isn't your daddy's democrat party.

Answer 8

Liberals see their chance at a socialist government and an occupancy of the White House fading away.......

Answer 9

the democrats want nothing more than the republican leadership to be embarrased by a defeat in iraq. the democrats are willing to sacrifice the national interests and security of every american in order to secure control of the country. thier single minded "get bush" agenda dictates that they oppose every effort this administration makes to win this war.

btw i love it how the dems disavow any responsibility for the war even though they overwelmingly approved the use of force. they always bring up that tired old "bush lied" argument even though congress were given access to the same intellegence. the dems have had 5 years to bring forth any evedence that bush lied and what do they have, nothing, not a shred of proof, not even enough for a censure.

the democratic party are counting on the american people being fools. thats what they think of us, well they're in for another rude awakening, just like in 2004.

Answer 10

THIS IS THE LIBERAL MIND SET. ACCORDING TO CNN THIS EVENING NEWS LEAD STORY THIS WAS THE WORST YEAR FOR VIOLENCE IN IRAQ. NO MATER HOW SUCCESSFUL WE ARE THEY WILL NEVER SAY SO..
