I thought cut and running from Iraq was the point of discussion?

Calling it quits "Quit. It's that simple. There are plenty of more complex ways to lose a war, but none as reliable as just giving up," Ralph Peters writes in the New York Post. "Increasingly, quitting looks like the new American Way of War. No matter how great your team, you can't win the game if you walk off the field at half-time. That's precisely what the Democratic Party wants America to do in Iraq. Forget the fact that we've made remarkable progress under daunting conditions: The Dems are looking to throw the game just to embarrass the Bush administration," Mr. Peters said. "The irresponsibility of the Democrats on Capitol Hill is breathtaking. (How can an honorable man such as Joe Lieberman stay in that party?) Not one of the critics of our efforts in Iraq -- not one -- has described his or her vision for Iraq and the Middle East in the wake of a troop withdrawal. Not one has offered any analysis of what the terrorists would gain and what they might do. Not one has shown respect for our war dead by arguing that we must put aside our partisan differences and win." Mr. Peters, a retired Army officer, added: "Yes, we've been told lies about Iraq -- by Dems and their media groupies. About conditions on the ground. About our troops. About what's at stake. About the consequences of running away from the great struggle of our time. About the continuing threat from terrorism. And about the consequences for you and your family. "What do the Democrats fear? An American success in Iraq. They need us to fail, and they're going to make us fail, no matter the cost. They need to declare defeat before the 2006 midterm elections and ensure a real debacle before 2008 -- a bloody mess they'll blame on Bush, even though they made it themselves."
