Providing an amnesty to the current insurgents may encourage others to to fight our forces on the assumption that more amnesties will eventually be forthcoming. In other words, the message will be “you don’t have to fight us forever, just until the next (inevitable) amnesty rolls around.”

Fighting US forces for a period of months or a few years until the next amnesty is a lot more viable than fighting them indefinitely.

It sends the wrong message to the insuragents; namely, that we just aren’t very serious.

How come the Democrats being split on anything is then good?

It depends what ‘being split’ means…

Their only plaform is to oppose GOP platforms. They have surrender the control of issues to GOP. This is not new. It happened long time ago. Instead of finding a new set of platforms to counter GOP, the liberals dragged the Democrats into a culture of negative attack hate Bush campaigns.

Once they determined to go negative, they forgot that this is a two way sword. When Cunnigham was nailed they could not wait to come out and yell “Culture of Corruption”. You all know what has happened since then…

ChiCom Chairman Mao said ” whatever my enemies oppose, I am for it, and vice versa.” This is a communist thinking that the liberal left brought into the DNC!

In the Iraq war, GOP is for a long term peace and stability for the middle east, so the Demo left has no other option but to propose a pullout!

This is like quick sand. The more negative they get the deeper they sink.

and sink…and sink….with every treacherous act by the MSM…they sink more…

They want to revive the party. But reviving the party takes principles…a set of high moral principles! But the Demo is filled with Hollywood and rap grade moral principles…so it is hopeless.

How can you save a party that highly praised their former leader who has said ” I never have sexual relations with that woman”?

After Vietnam, about the only war you’ll find the donkey party’s leadership willing to engage in is Class War in America. Compounding the trouble for today’s donkey party is that in its rage against Republicans in general and George Bush in particular, they can see only one enemy for all occasions.

The result is an extension of the caricature of a political party that the Dems have become: their entire essence can be summed up as, “If George Bush is for it, then I’m against it! If George Bush said it, it must be a lie!!

So it’s simple for them, really: If George Bush says, “We’ve got to see the thing through,” the the Dems reflexive answer is, “Then I’m for not seeing it through.”

Check of proof: We’ve seen some liberal types, like George Clooney, suggesting that we should do something militarily to intervene in Darfur. But wanna bet that if George Bush came out in favor of such action that overnight the libs’ position would change to, “No war!”?

Defeated in both withdrawal votes, they still seem to think they’ve “won” somehow. Huh?

There’s no unity within the democommie party.

Please, please, please, one more time, post the Hillary picture with the laurel-wreath, above the Murtha picture!

Notice how, not so subtly, she called our representatives and us “monkeys”. Suppose that was a Fruedian slip or a calculated move?

easy87us, you nailed it!

Where have you been, Hillary? We have just cracked down Bush Amnesty Bill.

Remember Harriet Mier? Remember the port deal?

Being ignorant is one thing, but repeating your husband’s mistake is profound.

“I never have sexual relationship with that woman” said Bill Clinton

Now you are doing the same thing….so sad.

I predict that the Sunni tribal elements will accept a deal to put down their rebellion. They have everything to gain if they do so. The Baathists and the Saddamist holdouts won’t, and they will have to be hunted down and killed, along with the remaining Al Qaeda operatives.

This presumes that the US does *NOT* establish a time table to withdraw as the Democrats demand.

As to the Democrat’s “dance” with cutting and running, I believe that the leftist base will not succeed, at least in this election year.

If the Democrats fail to gain control of at least one House of Congress this year, I would not be surprised to see the party collapse with the left and the “moderate” liberals going their separate ways for ’08.

What she really meant was..”we are in the wrong direction together!”

Struggling is a very tame discription. They are dying!
