AS a poignant move in solidifying his stance on staying the course in Iraq and addressing the Iraq/Vietnam war comparison, President Bush in his speech last Thursday quoted the following from Senator J. William Fulbright of Arkansas (quote from 1972 re: Vietnam war), who asked, "What earthly difference does it make to nomadic tribes or uneducated subsistence farmers in Vietnam or Cambodia or Laos whether they have a military dictator or a socialist commissar?" The anti-war Senator put into words the liberals' difficulty to imagine how their lives (S. Vietnamese) could be anything but better with the Americans gone from Vietnam. Responding to this mentality, Rush Limbaugh stated, "These are the people that tell us they care more than anybody else about the people... especially the oppressed and the downtrodden, the peasants. Subsistence farmers, these are the people Democrats have been saying all of my life that they care about and nobody else does, and here's this guy ready to consign them to a lifetime of bondage." Rush later adds, "So you got all these Democrats and all these media people who have been making the Iraq-Vietnam comparison to dredge up all of this negative and doom and gloom in people's minds. So Bush comes out and says, "Okay, you want a comparison? Here, try this," and just threw it right back (by quoting the Arkansas senator), and has outmaneuvered them again, and they just can't stand it."
Liberal Democrats are vested in FAILURE! They don't want the U.S. to make progress in Iraq because they have been using the supposed failure in Iraq as the primary reason for the indignant demand for the pullout of U.S. troops from Iraq. They want to be the party responsible for stopping "Bush's and his supporters'" desire to stay the course in Iraq--to have a U.S. military presence there to ensure a stabilization of the newly ELECTED government. They also want to be the party to say "I told you so" to the Bush administration. The stabilization of the new Iraqi goverment will take time, and we as U.S. citizens have a vested interest in a democratic government taking hold in that country and being able to keep the ideals of Al-Qaeda out of its political philosophy. This war on terror will not be won overnight, and Bush GETS IT! We are not losing the war in Iraq. Even the liberal media is reporting that there seems to be a U.S. turnaround in Iraq, and the liberal Dems hate that! I could go on, but my time for this has run out for today.
