Lost Cojones

The Democrats in both houses have voted to approve a staged withdrawal from Iraq. Harry Reid has stated the war is lost. They have even sent out memos urging restraint in using any reference to there being a "war". That's how Democrats fight, Hit you, skiddooo!

You remember ole Billy Clinton, he blew up an aspirin factory in the name of peace. Won the battle, yes he did. Aspirin has been safe for a decade now. Yet anything that requires commitment, a spine, some will power.....well they are ready to skidoooooo....

Problem is, they can't run because that would look bad, might cost some votes or at the very least, require some leadership. So they want to jog towards defeat with a "goal". That way they do not look like total appeasers.

Joe Lieberman (ID) Conn. stated it best on the Senate floor:

YOU CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS. YOU CAN'T WITHDRAW COMBAT TROOPS FROM IRAQ AND STILL SAY YOU'RE GOING TO FIGHT AL QAEDA THERE. IF YOU BELIEVE THAT THERE IS NO HOPE OF WINNING IN IRAQ OR THAT THE COSTS OF VICTORY THERE ARE NOT WORTH IT, THEN YOU SHOULD BE FOR COMPLETE WITHDRAWAL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

The do not have the cojones to put that to a vote. No stones as the British might say.
