You know, I love how the White House is talking about troop levels being cut in Iraq if the elections go well. This is just a week after calling Murtha and company quitters, cowards and worse for suggesting troop redeployments.
Apparently, Democrats can’t discuss force reductions because it will just make the insurgents fight harder. Of course, if the insurgents fight harder, it’s also a sign that they are desperate and near collapse if there’s an election, power transfer or some other arbitrary “milestone” coming up. So which is it? Are they fighting harder because they are encouraged or desperate?
It reminds me of how during the election, Republicans said that the fact that there hadn’t been a terror attack on U.S. soil since 9/11 was reason to vote Republican, but if there was an attack, it’s still a reason to vote Republican because they would have a tougher response.
Lots of linguistic gymnastics are going on. In the meantime, troops are dying almost by the day.
