House Narrowly Passes a Timetable for Iraqi Withdrawl

This might be the beginning of the end for our legitimate interests in Iraq. If this gets enough steam to pass through the Senate, we’ll have swarms of terrorists attempting to do as much damage as possible in Iraq, followed by the entire Muslim world being bolstered by a ‘defeated’ America, undone from within by its own spineless politicians and sheeply popular majority.

Nancy Pelosi had the gall to say ‘The American people’s voices have been heard,’ ironically echoing the much villified quote by Cheney about Bush’s ‘mandate’ after perhaps the narrowest, most contested Presidential race in America’s history.

The nation is not speaking with one voice, Nancy. This wouldn’t be a controversial issue if everyone agreed.

I expect Congress, if they pass this piece of legislature, to fully back their ’support the troops, end the war’ slogan by reinforcing the troops we have there with fresh supplies and armaments, rather than simply withdrawing them piecemeal, leaving at the end a vanguard force to be obliterated by barbarians celebrating their ‘victory.’

Hopefully Congress will have the foresight not to sign the first defeat of Western liberalism by the hand of 7th century irrationality. If they do, they will only give courage and hope to the very enemy that started all this nonsense in that fateful September.
