DemsVote For Surrender, Ignoring Two Voices -- General, Iraqis

Because after all, heeding the two constituencies closest to the events in Iraq would force them to reconsider their pre-conceived cut-&-run-&-surrender strategy.

The Senate approved a $124 billion Iraq war spending bill yesterday that would force troop withdrawals to begin as early as July 1, inviting President Bush's veto even as party leaders and the White House launch talks to resolve their differences.

The 51 to 46 vote was a triumph for Democrats, who just weeks ago worried about the political wisdom of a veto showdown with the commander in chief as troops fight on the battlefield. But Democrats are hesitant no more. And now that withdrawal language has passed both houses of Congress, even Republicans acknowledge that Bush won't get the spending bill that he has demanded, one with no strings attached.

Sad, isn't it, that the Democrats need to bring about the defeat of the United States military in the central front of the war on terror in order to achieve political "triumph".

Of course, a veto looms.

Which is appropriate, given the words of General Petraeus and the Iraqi government.

The top military commander in Iraq, Gen. David H. Petraeus, warned Thursday that an American troop pullback this fall would lead to an escalation in sectarian killings and worsening violence.

“My sense is that there would be an increase in sectarian violence, a resumption of sectarian violence, were the presence of our forces and Iraqi forces at that time to be reduced,” General Petraeus said at a Pentagon news conference.

And

An Iraqi government spokesman criticized the U.S. Senate vote to begin withdrawing U.S. troops by Oct. 1.

"We see some negative signs in the decision because it sends wrong signals to some sides that might think of alternatives to the political process," Ali al-Dabbagh told The Associated Press.

I'm sure glad that this crop of Democrats wasn't around on the worst days of WWII. We'd all be speaking German and Japanese.
