Pelosi, of course, is reacting so violently because Cheney shone a light upon the dark heart of the Democratic Party: their fervent desire for defeat. They don't care about the troops; they don't care about America, they only care about their own electoral prospects. And, if those prospects can be enhanced by giving al Qaida what they want, it doesn't even make them blink an eye. But - dammit! - Cheney should not have SAID so! Why, he is "questioning their patriotism," the new reflexive defense of the turncoat. By Jim Addison @ Wizbang Politics politics.wizbangblog.com

Cheney Spells It Out Power Line A few days ago, Dick Cheney challenged Nancy Pelosi on Iraq, saying that pulling out, as she advocates, would play into the hands of the terrorists. Pelosi resorted to the old "How dare he question my patriotism" dodge, and complained to President Bush's Chief of Staff, Josh Bolten. Now, Cheney says he isn't backing down: <<< During Friday's interview in Sydney with ABC News, Cheney said, "I'm not sure what part of it is that Nancy disagreed with. She accused me of questioning her patriotism. I didn't question her patriotism. I questioned her judgment." "You also have to be accountable for the results. What are the consequences of that? What happens if we withdraw from Iraq?," he said. "And the point I made and I'll make it again is that al-Qaida functions on the basis that they think they can break our will. That's their fundamental underlying strategy, that if they can kill enough Americans or cause enough havoc, create enough chaos in Iraq, then we'll quit and go home. And my statement was that if we adopt the Pelosi policy, that then we will validate the strategy of al-Qaida. I said it and I meant it." Asked if he was willing to take back his criticism of Pelosi, Cheney replied, "I'm not backing down." >>> This gets to the heart of the Democrats' problem. They can't deny that precipitous withdrawal from Iraq would be a disaster, they just don't want to talk about it. And if you bring it up, they say you're questioning their patriotism.
