Jihad Jaara, a senior member of the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades said before the 2006 elections:"Americans should vote Democratic,"adding that "it is time the American people support those who want to take them out of the Iraqi mud."
So evidently, the dems and terrorists have an Iraq policy that is indistinguishable one from the other. It is also obvious that the dems now have a vital stake in our Iraq failure. The entire future of the party is invested in Iraq imploding. What if it doesn't? What if the retreat of the Mahdi army at the order of Muqtada al-Sadr who himself seems to have fled to Iran and the closing of the Iran and Syrian borders combined with the other new tactics being advanced by General Petraeus actually bring relative peace to Iraq? Obviously, the dems will be able to brag and say "I told you so" if Iraq goes completely in the crapper, but if our military is allowed to function at full capacity, the dems may have made a bad bet. Pelosi and Reid know this, so we can look for them to do all they can to keep us from succeeding.
