Brian at Iowa Voice [1] has caught perhaps what will be the latest in a string of deceptive talking points from Democrats [2] on how Republicans supposedly ‘rejected’ Bill Clinton’s attempts at fighting terrorism back in the mid to late 90s.
In related news, House and Senate Dems [3] are ‘united’ now in asking for the President to begin a “phased redeployment” of US forces in Iraq before the end of this year.
Captain Ed calls it right [4]:
They want to begin a “phased redeployment” by the end of the year — and it’s already September. That leaves a short time frame for this retreat to occur — and note that the Democrats still can’t bring themselves to use the right term. When one leaves the theater while engaged with an enemy, that is a retreat, not a phased redeployment. The Democrats want a retreat.
Yep – the Dem ‘leadership’ has officially put it in writing.
Update: Brian was right: the libs are up in arms [5] about the ABC’s upcoming “Path to 9-11” dramatization [6].
