The Anti-War Machine
John Gibson has a good column up over at Fox News. He talks about how the good news in Iraq is being overshadowed by bad headlines, and basically ignored by the Drive-By Media. Of course it is, they don't want us to win.
George W. Bush is losing the War on Terror in Congress, but out in the real world he seems to be doing better.
Today, for instance, an Afghan warlord decided to dump the Taliban and go with Karzai, meaning some progress against the resurgent Al Qaeda in Afghanistan.
And today we're reading about a senior Iranian defense official who has evidently defected to our side and is blabbing his head off. This is a guy who practically invented Hezbollah in Lebanon. So he's good for a lot of information about Hezbollah, in terms of what the group is planning, what its capabilities are and what it has been responsible for in the past. That's all good.
But since this particular man — Ali Reza Asgari — was also deputy director of the Iranian Defense Department, he may have a lot of information on Iran's nuke program as well. You might expect he could know, for instance, if the Iranians really are planning to build bombs with their civilian nuclear technology and how far along they are.
This is good news for America, but bad news for the liberals. They are so filled with hatred for Bush and Cheney, to a psychotic degree, that they are actively undermining our troops and our Commander-in-Chief to the detriment of our national security. Anybody with half a brain can see the folly in setting a specific timetable for getting our troops out of Iraq, but that's exactly what the Democrats are pushing. No matter how many generals and other military people say what a bad idea that would be, they still feel more beholden to their nutroots base than their country. Perhaps this latest bit of insanity will push Joe Lieberman to our side. John Gibson ends his comments with this:
So what is going to happen if the Administration produces new information from the Iranian defector which would lead a reasonable person to conclude that action should be taken against Iran?
Will hatred of the Iraq War and Bush and Cheney personally immobilize this country and prevent us from acting in our own defense even if information on Iranian weapons of mass destruction is gold plated and solid?
Sadly I think so.
The anti-war machine now requires dead Americans here at home before we act again.
I think he's right and I think Jim has said this before. It'll take another attack on our soil to wake some of these people up. Unfortunately, if the Democrats get much of what they want, that is exactly what will happen.
JASmius adds: And they will blame that attack and those dead Americans on George Bush and "his" war on terror. And the American people will buy it and turn the "peace" movement into an unstoppable juggarnaut of national suicide, with Mrs. Clinton as Undertaker-in-Chief.
Don't expect the scales to fall from the public's eyes any time soon, not after last November's election results. It'll take a lot more than just another 9/11 to turn things around next time.
