I call it as I see it.

TB — 7/10/2007 4:11:36 AM (archived)

I am listening to the news right now, and Democratic politicians screaming for a "new strategy." What "new strategy" means is anybody's guess. I have some idea.

A new strategy was actually implemented months ago. The Secretary of Defense was replaced. Almost the entire command structure in Iraq was replaced. An entirely new set of tactics was put in place by a new general with a history of success in those tactics in the past. Despite you dismissing him out of hand, Petraeus has made some real progress. I could document it, but you don't really care, do you?

The Democrats tried to sabotage this new strategy within days of it's beginning. What does that tell you about their real goals?

I'm not at all surprised that the focus is now being switched from the military situation to the political situation. It's just another rationale to shut the war down.

I'm sorry. They're not kidding anybody.
