Stop the Insanity!

This latest idea of the Democrats, pulling an all-nighter in Congress, to get Republicans to agree to a retreat from Iraq has all the makings for being as effective a tool as John Lennon's and Yoko Ono's sleep in. I guess the one major difference, though, would be that, based on their approval ratings, more people cared about John and Yoko than Reid and Schumer.
So let me understand this. Back when the surge was still in the planning and approval phases, Democrats were fine with waiting for a progress report in September before their knee-jerk denunciations, but now that we are seeing progress, we can't possibly wait another day? The second the final troops for the surge landed and barely were able to change into their desert fatigues, Democrats declared the war over. This would be comparable Democrats calling for a retreat from the Normandy invasion just as the Allied forces had established a beachhead.
The Anbar and Diyala provinces were once written off as being beyond help, and firmly in the hands of the insurgents and terrorists. Al Qaeda had a free hand in these provinces. Now, with the surge barely under way, American forces have already begun to reclaim these areas, and Sunni tribal leaders are defecting from the ranks of al Qaeda supporters. But clearly the surge is accomplishing nothing, because we don't have profit-sharing legislation in place yet for oil revenues. Imagine how idiotic it would have sounded if we had said during World War II that the invasion of Europe was doomed to failure because Germany was having difficulties balancing their budget. Yes, the governmental benchmarks will be necessary for solidifying the situation in Iraq, but we first have to make sure that the people can feel safe enough to walk out on the streets to spend all this new-found wealth once profit sharing is enacted.
Democrats foam at the mouth when Republicans accuse them of being soft on national defense. They denounce Republicans as questioning their patriotism when their motives behind putting union interests over national security are brought into the national debate. They become uncontrollably self-righteous and sanctimonious when Ann Coulter's columns and comments are taken so out of context and edited beyond all comprehension to make it sound like she wants them dead. But when Congressman Ellyson, the new Democrat member of the House who is the first Muslim elected to Congress, compares George Bush to Adolf Hitler and Republicans to the Nazi party, they don't even bat an eye. In addition, Ellyson's comments suggest that he believes that George Bush, and not Osama bin Laden, was behind the 9/11 attacks. This is what he did when he compared the 9/11 attacks to the burning of the Reichstag in Germany in the 1930's. He claimed that both events were used to inflame the public against an enemy, in the case of the Germans, the communists, and with Bush, islamic terrorists. Many historians also believe that Hitler staged the fire to solidify the power that he and his party held over the country. So in Ellyson's eyes, Bush equals Hitler, and 9/11 was orchestrated by Bush to drum up false support to falsely take the war to terrorists. Oh, if only we didn't have pesky evidence, like Osama himself taking credit for 9/11. Or does Ellyson believe, perhaps, that this was all fabricated by the Bush administration on the same sound stage that they filmed the lunar landing? Democrats really have no shame.
