Received a message from the Democratic Leadership Council today. The DLC is apparently the Right wing of the Democratic Party, which they proved last year by undermining the candidacy of Howard Dean. Excerpt (emphasis on incorrectness mine):
| This will require a change of military tactics. U.S. troops have kept their distance from Fallujah as well as Sadr city. Unfortunately, our enemies seem to have misinterpreted our military restraint as a sign of weakness. Now, with the crackdown on Sadr's militia and with U.S. Marines and Special Forces clamping down Fallujah and hunting for the perpetrators of the previous week's atrocities, we're sending the right message.
Responding to the upsurge in violence in Iraq, President Bush this week was adamant about sticking to the June 30 deadline. "We will not be shaken by thugs and terrorists," he said. That's the right sentiment. But the administration's decision to reduce U.S. troop levels in Iraq during this election year may have signaled lack of resolve. What America needs today is not an exit strategy, but a more effective counterinsurgency strategy. Such a strategy entails speeding the pace of reconstruction in Iraq, redoubling efforts to bring in the United Nations and thereby take the U.S. face off the occupation, and a long-term commitment to using our military power to prevent Iraq from collapsing into civil war and chaos.... |
Now, doesn't that sound like it was written by Bush's cohorts? Damn DLC, can't live with them, can't live without them. Kinda like a plumber who showers once a week and wears his pants halfway down his ass.
