Iraq and the Left
The Iraq War
We are executing the plan set forth in general terms by the President. We have had success in executing the plan, notably the elections and the adoption of the Constitution, with general elections under that Constitution to come shortly. We have paid a price for this success in terms of over 2,000 dead, many thousands wounded, and huge expenditures from our national treasury.
We are now faced with a solidifying left-wing opposition movement that reminds me of how we shamefully exited Vietnam, and thus allowed the massacre of millions by the Communists later on. In Laos, in Cambodia, and in Vietnam, those who worked with us or for freedom were brutally killed, sent to barren lands to starve to death, or were imprisoned for years for "reeducation".
Such an exit from Iraq is not to be condoned! Leaving a fledgling government to fend for itself too early in its existence is exactly the wrong thing to do. It also gives the wrong signal to the insurgents, that all they have to do is wait us out, then they can move to take over once more. Such an outcome dishonors the troops that have given their blood for Iraqi freedom. It dishonors the US citizens who have given their support to the war. Pullout would ensure the continuation, and even acceleration, of the Islamic jihad movement.
I am pleased that Hillary Clinton has shown her true colors now, along with her husband, Slick Willy. They are leading the pack of liberals down the road of pullout. They are a disgrace to the US. But then, we knew that all along.
