This Congress is the first in American history dedicated to the defeat of an American Army in the field. Routed not by a foreign army but by political polls, the majority of the Congress is prepared to stab the American solider in Iraq in the back and convey to the world and our enemies the abject cowardice and lack of will the political class brings to the fight against barbarians seeking to impose a 7th century society on the world.
Conservatives will not forgive or forget a vote by any Republican in favor of a resolution opposing reinforcement of American forces in Iraq, in an effort to obtain victory in that country. We long ago gave up on the Democrat Party, which has become the anti-America party, invested in American defeat at all costs. However, Republicans are expected to uphold the national interest and stand against irresponsible acts which undermine national security. Instead we have witnessed perhaps the most disgraceful, poll-driven retreat in the history of Congressional politics. At a moment in our history when foresight and courage are most needed, we instead have pusillanimity. The document may be a resolution opposing President Bush’s plan to reinforce our troops in Iraq, but these are the words which history will write: "Thou art weighed in the balances, and found wanting."
Heaven help our president and our brave troops. Upon success in Iraq rides much more than simply the establishment of a democratic state in Iraq, but perhaps the very soul of the American nation.
