Democrats Won’t Back Down on Effort to Lose War

They want to let you know that they’re bound, determined and motivated to lose this war.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18 — Democrats in Congress failed once again Friday to shift President Bush’s war strategy in Iraq, but insisted that they would not let up. Their explanation for their latest foiled effort seemed to boil down to a simple question: “What else are we supposed to do?”…

All signs indicate that Democrats will continue proposing such measures as long as Mr. Bush remains in office and troops remain in Iraq. “We are going to keep plugging away,” said Senator Carl Levin of Michigan, chairman of the Armed Services Committee.

We will stop at nothing to lose!

Democratic lawmakers and strategists on Capitol Hill said their hope was that even if Republican support for Mr. Bush’s strategy held firm, voters would reward Democrats for their efforts at the polls next November, and that there was no risk to failing again and again.

Wouldn’t that also be after the next President? Do they not have confidence that a Democrat will win the White House? Or do they not have confidence that Democrat will end the war? If a Democrat wins the White House, why would they worry about getting votes to end the war?

It’s just more “We Have to Lose!” defeatist crap from Lefties in Congress looking to pick up Senate seats in ’08. Move along, nothing to see here.
