Democrats' credibility gap is a mile wide

In a shameless act of political opportunism, the Democrats sent a clear message to our enemies that if suicide bombers can drag things out long enough — let's say to 2008 — Democrats might regain the White House and declare unconditional surrender in the war on terror

"We Were Too Stupid" strategy. As in, "We voted to go to war in Iraq, but we didn't know what we were doing." This is also known as the "Bush Lied" defense.

John Kerry proved that American voters don't like flip-flops unless they're wearing them to the beach. A lot of Democrats, including Madame Clinton, will see their political careers go down in flames if they continue to undermine the U.S. war effort and pander to the Michael Moore-Cindy Sheehan crowd when they were on record as supporting the war from the beginning. "They spoke the truth then, and they're speaking politics now," is how Bush characterized the Chicken Little crowd on the left side of the aisle.

At least 40 Democrats in the Senate — including presidential hopefuls Biden, Clinton and Kerry — were AWOL when it came time to show our men and women in Iraq that America stands united behind them and will support them until victory is at hand
