New Vets For Freedom ad: The Surge Worked

Posted 28 Aug 2008 in Democrats, jihadists, Nancy Pelosi, victory, war


While Obama tries to pretend he’s Martin Luther King Jr. redux in front of his “temple/monument” prop, Vets For Freedom is airing a new commercial about Senate Resolution 636 which is specifically worded to recognize “…the strategic success of the troop surge in Iraq and expressing gratitude to the members of the United States Armed Forces who made that success possible.” Contrast this with the blindly partisan denials by Senator Obama and the Democrat party.

In July, after evidence was amassing that the surge was working, Obama said, “My assessment is that the surge has not worked.”

Obama, then, was not only wrong about the surge; he was spectacularly wrong. And he continued to remain wrong even as mounting evidence of its success gave way to overwhelming evidence of its success.

But Obama is not alone. Virtually the entire Democratic party, including every Democrat running for president, opposed the surge. For example, Senator Joseph Biden–considered by some pundits a foreign policy sage–declared, a few days before the surge was announced, “If he surges another 20, 30 [thousand], or whatever number he’s going to, into Baghdad, it’ll be a tragic mistake.”
…
In April 2007, Senate majority leader Harry Reid declared the Iraq war “lost” and insisted, “This surge is not accomplishing anything.”
…
In February of this year, Speaker Nancy Pelosi was asked by CNN’s Wolf Blitzer about the success of the surge in Iraq. “Are you not worried, though, that all the gains that have been achieved over the past year might be lost?” Blitzer asked.

“There haven’t been gains, Wolf,” Pelosi replied. “The gains have not produced the desired effect, which is the reconciliation of Iraq. This is a failure. This is a failure.“

Nice support there, Dems. And yes, I am questioning your patriotism.

Meanwhile, our brave men and women in uniform continue daily to go about their mission of helping jihadists attain room temperature.

100 militants killed in Afghanistan
KABUL, Afghanistan — A four-day battle that began with an ambush on a joint U.S-Afghan patrol in southern Afghanistan has killed more than 100 militants, the coalition said Thursday.

Militants wielding rocket-propelled grenades, guns and mortars attacked the joint patrol in the southern province of Helmand multiple times starting Monday, the coalition said. The combined force called in fighter aircraft for support.

Capt. Scott Miller, a coalition spokesman, said he couldn’t provide further details, including a more precise location of the fighting, because the battle was continuing.
…
More than 3,700 people, mostly militants, have died in insurgency-related violence so far this year according to an Associated Press tally of figures provided by Afghan and Western officials.

Man, I hope Allah has plenty of virgins ready!
