Lack of Support

"What I would say to members of Congress is: Calm down and take a look at what's going on, and ask yourself a simple question: If you support the troops, would you deny them the reinforcements they think are necessary to complete the mission?"'

Tony Snow's words ring true as the Senate Democrats stated earlier today they may attempt to hinder Bush's ability to "wage war" in Iraq. The idea calls for the passing of a more limited version of the 2002 measure that approved the use of force against Saddam as he violated his 16th UN resolution in 12 years. Essentially, the Dems would like to include restrictions on where and how our forces could fight, hopefully pulling them out of a majority of the action and away from the violence.

They never quit, do they? What they fail to see is that by hindering the Commander and Chief's ability to fight the war, they are preventing our troops on the ground from fighting the enemy as well. This just exposes that our current Democratic party is simply fighting politics against the Republican President...not a war against the insurgencies that would love to see their opponents held back on the battlefield. A measure that pulls support from our soldiers will never pass, and will just upset the American people.

Harry Reid says this is a "very deep hole. We need to find a way to dig out of it." Is he serious? Everyone was on board with bringing down the evil regime in 2002 and so on...but now its politically convenient to speak out against it. We are not in a "hole," Harry, we are involved in a fight against a dangerous enemy that needs to be put down, not empowered. Keep it up and that is what will happen.
