Dems to Petraeus: Can we still surrender?

JohnHuang2 does a magnificent essay on the latest goings on inBasra, Iraq and Washington.

Democrats are desperate to hand Iraq over to al-Qaeda and Iran -- change we can believe in! Nut Pelosi and Harry Reid have tried over 50 times to force Bush to lose the war for them, and failed. So desperate are libbies, they're now busy concocting imaginary victories for the enemy out of whole cloth, just as they did during Viet Nam. Approximately 10 minutes after the crackdown on Shia militias began, the press proclaimed the crackdown had failed. Yet, if the goal of the mighty "Mahdi Army" was to get its butt kicked, it succeeded swimmingly.

Days after the press declared Iraqi forces defeated, Iraqi forces had captured almost 500 Mahdi Army fighters, killed almost 600 of them and wounded nearly a thousand of Napoleon Sadr's forces. In response, the AP said Nouri al-Maliki was left "politically battered and humbled" by the Madhi Army's superior forces. Al-Maliki then battered and humbled his way into regaining control of the ports in Basra after driving the Madhi Army off the streets of Karbala, Kut, Hilla, Diwaniyah, Najaf, Nasiriyah, etc. The 'victorious' Sadr (in Iran during all of this) then begged for a ceasefire, since this is what winning armies always do -- beg for a ceasefire to halt their own advances. Maliki pressed on, which prompted renowned military expert Frank Rich to complain that the fight in Basra was "a mini-Tet that belied the 'success' of the surge," the idiot forgetting that The Surge was in Baghdad and Anbar Province, not Basra.

Despite having 'won' the battle, al-Mookie announced Tuesday that he was canceling his own Million Imam March -- too many of his followers found dead after 'winning' so well -- and is "raising the prospect of disbanding his Mahdi army" (AP, 4/7), more proof he won! The offer strangely came hours after al-Maliki issued an ultimatum to disband or get banned from provincial elections. Al-Maliki hadn't gotten the memo that he lost and to 'Run! Run for your life!'

Gen. Petraeus noted during the hearing Tuesday "the destructive role Iran (via its Quds Force) has played in funding, training, arming and directing the so-called special groups" allied with Sadr, the Democrats' conquering hero. "Iran has fueled the violence" and the "nefarious activities by (Iran's) Quds Force have continued . . ." Iran -- you know, the same Iran the Iraq Study Group insisted wanted so much peace and stability in Iraq. Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran.

Responding to Gen. Petraeus, Hillary Clinton shocked the world by announcing that "it's time to begin an orderly process" of withdrawal. 'YES!' shouted Obama, pumping his fist in the air. But she wasn't talking about her campaign.
