Republicans, starting with the Prez, step up war of words against anti-war Congressional Democrats
Love.it. Especially Vietnam vet and POW Rep. Sam Johnson’s comments about Rep. John Murtha:
I respect him [Murtha] as an ex-Marine, but his thought process has gone in the wrong direction on this and I think he’s totally off base. I don’t know what’s made him go that way. As I said on the floor, Marines don’t quit, and I don’t know why he wants to quit in Iraq.
Runner-up goes to VP Cheney:
Criticizing congressional resolutions supporting the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq, Cheney said, “The fact is that the United States military answers to one commander in chief in the White House, not 535 commanders in chief on Capitol Hill.
Update: Well whadda ya know? Lookie what Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said about troop funding just last November (via Don Surber):
“Now he’s the commander in chief, and we’re not going to do anything to limit funding or cut off funds, even though there are some on the outside who suggest that. I think we want to make sure that the troops have everything that they need.”
That was then. This is now.

What needs to happen for Reid to lose his position as senate majority leader? Say Lieberman switches parties, would that do it? Or do we have to wait until 2008 and see how the election goes?
All I can say is – it’s about time!
I think that the MSM knows they might be in a jam – why else would they be dishing out the Orwellian “good news is actually bad news” tripe again?
ST, I don’t know if I’d call them ‘anti-war’ Congressional Dems. They’re certainly ‘anti-victory’. But I get the clear impression they’d send our troops off to fight in some other place where America has absolutely no national interest – the next Kosovo, for example – if it would appease some bloc or country where they wanted to curry favor.
Too little and too late. After six years of mostly refusing to recognize (or admit) that Democrats view compromise as weakness, just as do terrorists, anyone in the GOP who now finds the courage (I wanted to use a more earthly term, but this is a family-oriented blog) to speak out has to overcome the well deserved perception that they are wimpish and can be ignored or steamrolled.
