What's It Gonna Take?

Reading over some of the Democrats' responses to the "news" that Iran is actively involved in the killing of American soldiers, it's not hard to understand their reputation as being soft on national security. I mean, come on. From NewsMax:

Explosives seem to be flowing into Iraq from Iran, but does it stem from a deliberate government policy or rogue elements within the Iranian government, asked Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., who serves on the Senate Armed Services Committee?

Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., said that ultimately Iran wants a stable Iraq and that the United States needs to engage in diplomacy.

Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., said the administration could be laying the groundwork for an attack on Iran and that "I'm worried about that. That's how we got into the mess in Iraq," by relying on what Dodd called "doctored information."

Senate Intelligence Committee member Ron Wyden, D-Ore., said "the administration is engaged in a drumbeat with Iran that is much like the drumbeat that they did with Iraq. We're going to insist on accountability."

Isn't that typical? The Democrats are more suspicious of their own government and Commander-in-Chief than they are of dictatorships bent on the killing of American soldiers, and actively aiding terrorists in doing so. The Democrats won't recognize an act of war until a bomb explodes in their back yard, and even then they'll find a way to blame Bush.
