Democrats' strategy on the war on terror and Iraq are similar to Bush's plan in an odd and dangerous way. Both agree that we should get out of Iraq. Bush's plan is to get out as the Iraqi defense and security forces can take over to protect themselves. This process is ongoing and takes time. The Democrats also want to get out of Iraq, but with no apparent regard to the readiness of the Iraqi people to defend themselves which is dangerous, if not wreckless.
Under Bush's plan, the prospects for peace in the world are better. Bailing out in six months means that Iraq will very likely return to turmoil, mass graves, and become the world capital for terrorists and terrorists organizations. One can not ignore other countries in the region, like Iran. Today for example, Iran's Parliament approved a bill requiring the government to block inspections of its atomic facilities if the U.N. nuclear monitoring agency refers Iran to the Security Council for possible sanctions. Iran and Syria are both fueling insurgencies in Iraq, which would quickly increase the moment we were to prematurely get out of Iraq.
The result of Bush's plan is the best chance for lasting peace. The result of the Democrats' plan would be leaving the Iraqi people high and dry for slaughter, and the rest of the world open season for the Islamist terrorists. The Ted Kennedys and John Murthas and Harry Reids of the Democrat party are somehow oblivious to the nuance that their words of 'get out of Iraq' is all that the middle east is hearing. Their public opposition to Bush's plan simply amounts to pumping up the enemy, which takes irresponsibility to a whole new level. It's the stupidity stupid, not the patriotism.
