democrats Starting To Flop Back
Now that the information is flowing out of Iraq about “The Surge” and it is all good news. It is becoming harder to find a democrat to say anything bad about it.
Democrats Praise Military Progress
One senator said U.S. troops are routing out al-Qaida in parts of Iraq. Another insisted President Bush’s plan to increase troops has caused tactical momentum.
One even went so far on Wednesday as to say the argument could be made that U.S. troops are winning.
These are not Bush-backing GOP die-hards, but Democratic Sens. Dick Durbin, Bob Casey and Jack Reed. Even Sen. Carl Levin, chairman of the Senate Armed Services committee, said progress was being made by soldiers.
The suggestions by them and other Democrats in recent days that at least a portion of Bush’s strategy in Iraq is working is somewhat surprising, considering the bitter exchanges on Capitol Hill between the Democratic majority and Republicans and Bush. Democrats have long said Bush’s policies have been nothing more than a complete failure.
Don’t get too excited though, they will still find plenty of legitimate concerns as well as made up propaganda to bitch about. As always, assisted buy their friends in the “Drive-by Media”.

So NOW what does Indiana’s “esteemed” Senator Lugar have to say? I wrote him and said that the next time he is re-elected, it’ll be by one vote less. That’s like a mosquito biting an elephant, but as a mosquito, that’s all the bite I have.

Rob,
It will be with two less votes. If I had the time and resources I would certainly, actively campaign against him the next time he’s up.
