Irregular Times Diaries: Unfit Discussion

I have had it up to here with the Democratic wishy washy wimpy whining about Republicans and the war in Iraq.

I read the headline today: Democrats to push for Iraq timetable.

Oh, the Democrats are going push now? Oh really? Gee, but haven’t they been saying that for a long while now? As I remember it, the Democrats started doing what they call “pushing” for a timetable for withdrawal from Iraq way back in 2003.

Here’s what the Democratic Party’s version of “pushing” is: Hey, President Bush, you really ought to not have the war in Iraq be quite so big, so could you please not send so many American soldiers to die in a vain cause? Oh, ten or twenty thousand less would be okay with us, and we’d probably negotiate on that. We’re offering a non-binding resolution to officially make this request, not that there will be any consequences if you decide to say no. Did we mention impeachment is off the table? We wouldn’t want to be divisive or anything, after all. We’d hate to actually have to take action to end the war, so we’re writing you yet another mutli-billion dollar check to pay to continue the war. Do you need more? If so, just ask. So, in short, let’s Support Our Troops and Win the War on Terror. Yippee!”

With this kind of “pushing” to end the war, my grandchildren might see American soldiers leave Iraq.

I am sick and tired of hearing Democratic politicians tell me that we can’t really push too hard right now, and that we just need to wait until after the next election. It’s a broken record, and out of tune.

I’m issuing a timetable of my own: A timetable for the Democrats to get some backbone. If the Democrats in Congress won’t actually do something to end the war in Iraq by the end of this month, I’m leaving the Democratic Party.
