That is one reason General Gaip wrote that the Viet Cong were almost ready to surrender, but that the traitors like John Kerry gave them the will to go on. Those traitors managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Without wishing to stereotype all opponents to the war in Iraq as traitors (though I would submit we have a few of them out here on this thread), I would agree that many of the insurgents in Iraq DEFINITELY hope that US support for remaining in Iraq will wane and give them the chance they are seeking to make their move and kick up the tempo of the insurgency.

Which is why I just find it utterly irresponsible for the Democrats to continue undermining the mission of the US forces in Iraq, by providing psychological "aid and comfort" to our enemies.

I would submit that had this nation remained absolutely steadfast and united about both the overthrow of Saddam, and the will to demand democratic reform in Iraq, this insurgency might have tapered off by now. But no. The Democrats had to sow self-doubt and Vietnam analogies that aren't even relevant and become useful idiots to the enemy's propaganda efforts. Furthermore, if Dems are willing to undermine US resolve, it makes it pretty damn easy for our "allies" to doubt our resolve.

The more the liberals attempt to undermine the current US strategy in Iraq, WITHOUT PROVIDING AN ALTERNATIVE OF THEIR OWN to achieve the goal, it convinces the insurgents that it's only a matter of time before the Americans will tire of Iraq and leave.
