According to the Washington Post http://washingtonpost.com, South Carolina representative James Clyburn, the third in the Democrat house leadership admitted that if the situation in Iraq shows vast improvement in September, it will be a problem for the Democrats.
As if we did not know!
In an interview, Mr. Clyburn states the obvious and thus what the strategy has been all along for the Democrats. Invest in defeat in the Iraq theatre in the War Against Terror and that is good news for the Democrats. Winning in Iraq is bad news for the Democrats.
So, if General David Petraeus comes to Washington in mid-September and tells congress that the military mission in Iraq is vastly improved and that the surge should keep going for total success, what do the anti-war people do?
They will be rightfully exposed and that will, I believe, get the American people back to supporting that the troops leave Iraq with victory, not their tails between their legs as in the Vietnam era.
The war in the Iraq theatre or anywhere else should not be a partisan issue. Victory should be non-partisan.
But, Rep. Clyburn let the cat out of the bag and that is why we are in the position we are in today.
Let us hope that Gen. Petraeus comes back with good news and that the big problems come for the Democrats. That can only be good for America.
