Caught between Iraq and a Hard Place?

Not according to "Lightwave" on the Wake Up America blog:

"This is now an unassailable fact: The official position of the Democratic Party of the United States of America is that America must surrender in Iraq to the terrorists, that so far these traitors to the country have not yet paid a price.

I do not use the term traitor as exaggeration or hyperbole. It is entirely appropriate. It is defined as “…one who betrays one's country, a cause, or a trust, especially one who commits treason.” The Democrats in Congress meet all four definitions of the word.

They have betrayed the country by attacking our troops and policy publicly, and by meeting with those who directly support our enemy. They have betrayed our cause by portraying our troops as murderers and savages and inciting Americans against our cause during a time of war. They have most certainly betrayed our trust as national elected officials, accusing our sitting President of lying during a time of war. And most of all they have committed treason by showing direct support for the actions and measures our enemy wants us to take, and fomenting surrender during wartime.

The price they will pay -- the price they must pay – should be exacted from them at the polls in 2008. It must be the unambiguous message that what America wants in Iraq is nothing short of victory, and that while a majority of Americans want us to bring the troops home, only a small percentage wish to surrender in Iraq.

The rest of us -- the large, overwhelming majority of Americans -- wish to keep troops in Iraq. We have a duty to fulfill. Part of that duty is to let America's enemies know that we will not capitulate to them -- that we will not give up -- that these colors do not run.

President Bush’s speech last night was great; he said what needed to be said, that no matter what your political party, victory in Iraq in America's best interests and that we must win there.

He also talked about a presence in Iraq lasting past the end of his Presidency. Let's be honest here. We all know that's the truth: Iraq doesn't stop being a problem on January 20, 2009. We will still have troops there. Although I would like to have them home, the mission is going to require years. Our job is to support it.

I'm glad he leveled with the American people on this. We will be in Iraq after President Bush is out of office. That's why the 2008 elections may be the most important ones in America's history.

Unless those elections are used to send a clear message to the world that America is going to get the job done in Iraq, we will be risking a much bloodier war in the future. There isn't a human being on Earth that can successfully argue that our departure from Iraq won't necessitate a much bloodier war down the road with Iran.

If we leave Iraq, we will still have to deal with Iran. The same if we stay in Iraq, but we will be in a much stronger position. Therefore, it is vital to America’s interests. Period.

I believe this country would rally behind President Bush once again. And the price the Democrats will pay -- not all of them, mind you, but most -- will be forgotten by our generation."

Thank you, Lightwave.
