Leadership: It’s pathetic when a major political party holds a pajama party to publicize its desire to surrender during a war. But it’s even worse when such shenanigans drown out a vital message from a real leader.In the end, it was a cheap PR stunt that came undone when the Senate voted not to cut off debate on a proposal to begin withdrawing troops within 120 days.
Such maneuvers have earned the Democrat-led Congress the American public’s contempt. They’ve rewarded this Congress with a 14% approval rating — the lowest ever.
Unfortunately, the noise from Congress’ pajama-clad know-nothings drowned out a truly important voice in this debate: that of Gen. David Petraeus. In case you don’t know, he’s the innovative commander who is spearheading our war effort in Iraq and the “surge” of 28,500 additional troops.
Politicians, main stream media and the American people have (generally) refused to listen to perhaps the most important person’s view (Gen. Petraeus) on whether we are making progress in Iraq or not. LibNOT.com can foresee another Viet Nam style pull out - to hell with what’s really going on - to hell with the soldiers that truly care and have worked so hard. To hell with the Iraqi citizens that want to see and experience real, sustainable peace.
Petraeus is doing an incredible job and deserves America’s support. So do the 160,000 troops now in Iraq who risk their lives daily in the war on terror — even as some in Congress would pull the rug out from under them, making us all less safe.
From what we’ve heard from Petraeus — and contrary to the parade of pundits and politicians urging us to withdraw — it seems we’re winning this war.
Maybe it’s time the word got out.
