Yikes

Rush has a rundown of the terrorists' glee at the Dem victory this week. Like he says, some of this would be funny if it weren't so dangerous. Some excerpts:


Now, the expectation, by the way, has been raised by the Democrats that we are going to get out of there. People went to the polls on Tuesday with that as their issue firmly believing the Democrats are going to get us out of there. That's not, by the way, the expectation only in America. That expectation exists around the world because Democrats promised the world that we would get out of Iraq, and the world believed. For instance, here is a statement, "In an extraordinary joint statement, more than 200 Socialist members of the European Parliament hailed the American election results as 'the beginning of the end of a six-year nightmare for the world' and said they left the Bush administration 'seriously weakened.'" Hugo Chavez said this is great, "a repudiation of Bush's Iraq policy," said he was "filled with optimism" over the Democrats' win. In France, Dominique somebody or else at the Institute On International Relations said there is "less White House in America now and a little less America in the world." But the money quote yesterday -- well, I don't know -- the money quote has to be everything that the new Al-Qaeda in Iraq leader said today. The money quote yesterday came from Iraq, a political ally of Muqi al-Sadr said this.

"The vote shows the Iraqi and American people are of one mind about withdrawing U.S. troops. ... We hope the Democrats don't forget their campaign promises.'" (Laughing.) This is our enemy in Iraq. Surreal! "My fellow Democrats, we hope you do not forget your campaign promises." The guy went on to say, "If they don't, we will deal with them in a brotherly way once the last American soldier pulls out from Iraq." A brotherly way in Al-Qaeda terms or Muqi terms, the Democrats let these people down. So Nancy and Harry, I mean you raised these expectations. Not just here, but around the world. And now you've got the Al-Qaeda in Iraq leader saying, glad you're elected, but don't leave, because he's not through killing our guys. Wants more blood, calling Bush a coward, you sort it out, it's your operation now.


As Jim put it so succinctly...God help us. God help us all.
