Clearly, the important administration arguments are beginning to coalesce: 1) Criticism of the war is not by itself unpatriotic 2) Similarly, answering anti-war critics is not challenging their patriotism 3) But opportunistic and cynical anti-war critics who are trying to walk back their own votes and level spurious charges at the Administration (they lied to take is into war) are themselves lying 4) These lies are hurting the country and the troops. 5) The burden of proof, in a post 911 world, was on Saddam Hussein to prove hed disarmed; we could not wait for the threat to become imminent before acting 6) The cause the troops are fighting for is just and right 7) Iraq is moving toward freedom; and things on the ground are improving daily, regardless of what the MSM and prominent Dems would have us believe.
These points, taken together, form an easy, concise, andmost importantlya factually correct counter-narrative to the Dem / MSM narrative that has preached confusion, failure, quagmire, American criminality (torture, WP), and the relentlessness of an insurgency whose battleground savvy and knowledge of the Arab world are thwarting the plans of our confused military leaders and civilian war commanders. Oh. But we LOVE THE TROOPS!
I think the narrative is a good one, but it needs to be repeated as loud and as often as the one the Dems have been peddling.
As I noted over the weekend, it is becoming clear that the Dems are trying to get out ahead of predictable post-election troop withdrawals and frame them as coming from a position of weakness rather than success. The adminstrationwho has done the hard work and stayed the course in Iraq throughout this divisive an poisonous political atmosphereneeds to remind people that the successes that will soon become evident in Iraq are a result of its steadfastness to its commitments and its plan to begin excising the Islamist cancer from the free world.
Republicans to Buy Air Time for Dems to Explain Views
HARRY REID SAYS THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION SHOULD NOT PLAY POLITICS WITH OUR TROOPS!
VIDEO HERE
To clarify things for the American people, Republicans have generously decided to air television ads of Democrats explaining their position on the war,... or quite possibly, the variety of positions that certain Democrats have held on the war!
In Nevada the ad will focus on Senator Harry Reid. The ad accuses the Nevada Senator of flip-flopping, using his own words against him!... And, the Senator is not happy about it, accusing the Republicans of playing politics with his own words!
The ad zeroes in on Reid and even tells viewers to call his office and quit playing partisan politics! (Senator Reid's office phone number is 202-224-3542 in Washington) :clap1:
The Senator had the following response to the ads coming out this weekend and playing in Nevada:
"These negative ads do nothing to get the job done in Iraq. Instead of giving our troops a plan for success or answering the serious questions of the American people, the Administration has decided to start up its political attack machine."
Senator Reid says he's disappointed in Republicans, but he won't stop working with them to find real solutions in Iraq.
Republicans said there were more ads to come out down the road.
Senator Reid has the following posted on his website:
"The President and Vice President shamelessly decided to play politics."
"It seems the President and Vice President have decided to treat the war likes its a political campaign."
"The deceiving, dividing and distorting must end. Of course, this is the same move weve seen from Karl Rove and Dick Cheney time and again over the last five years."
"This time stakes are too high to let them get away with it. Theres more than poll numbers or votes at stake."
"President Bush, Vice President Cheney and Karl Rove must stop the orchestrated attack campaign they launched on Veterans Day. Its a weak, spineless display of politics at a time of war.
"Its easy to attack, Mr. President. The hard part is leading, coming clean with the American people and giving our troops a strategy for success."
Yes, that's true, and the dems have offered what on the plate?
Meanwhile, Rush Limbaugh is not impressed with the liberal "hawk" Murtha and called him the "useful idiot for the momtent." The left is upset about this.
