What happened to Howard Dean? I heard him on the news saying that we have to win this war now, but we have to have a plan for victory. " I am concerned about the safety of the troops he said. Too many of our young men and women have died already without results that lead to victory. George Bush doesn't have the right strategy to win, according to Dean. What does Dean know about victory?
But It wasn't two days ago he said we couldn't win the war, so we have to have a plan to pull the troops out as soon as possible. It's another Vietnam. A quagmire of death and destruction.
Harry Reid said that what the Democrats need is a flexible strategy so they can maneuver their agenda as needed to take advantage politically of any situation that might arise in the United States or around the world. As it stands now, they are out in the cold. America doesn't want to surrender, cut and run, as much as Dean and other Democrats thought.
Reid thinks that their agenda, as it stands now, defeatism and surrender, is not working very well as new polls have shown 61% of Americans believe that we can not cut and run. Reid believes, in light of these new figures, that it is prudent to be for the war now. The new flexibility in the agenda will allow the liberals to move back and forth as needed. The media will make the headlines read what ever the puppet masters want them to read. It's a win / win situation for the Democrats.
John McCain, on the other hand, has started to thump the drum of the liberals by attaching an amendment to the appropriations bill stating that the United States can not use torture of any kind unless it is in accordance with the arm's field manual on interrogations. The arm's field manual was written before 9/11. As I stated yesterday, the amendment will also give the terrorists constitutional rights. John says that torture doesn't work: he knows first hand form being a prisoner in Vietnam for six years. He does admit that he told them what ever they want to know. Everyone knows that you will break sooner or later.
The United States has never made it a policy to use torture like the Japanese or Africans or Russian or Koreans etc etc etc. The army and the CIA admit to using nonpain related techniques and probably drugs. So be it!!!
McCain is looking for flexibility as well. He's playing both sides of the fence. He doesn't sound like one of us. He is beginning to sound like one of them.
Of course we know where John Kerry stands, old cut and run; oh wait, this morning it's "we have to win this thing but we need a time table for withdrawal". John sure likes the new manual from the DNC. Pelosi and Boxer are demanding that 'we bring the boys home' now! I wonder what they will say tomorrow? hmmmmm Maybe they haven't received the new manual from Reid yet.
