US - Cut and run Democrats inspire terrorists

Iraq isn't the first time cut and run Democrats have inspired terrorists to continue to fight or mount new attacks. Jack Murtha, one of the leading cut and run Democrats over Iraq, did the same thing in Somalia. The 9/11 commission directly cited the US pull out from Somalia, at the urging of Murtha, as an inspiration for bin Laden.

The Democrats disasterous cut and run policy goes even further back than that, back to Vietnam in fact.

Here's the history from 30 years ago that the Democrats would like to repeat.

As leaders of the anti-war movement you can thank John Kerry and Hanoi Jane Fonda. The North Vietnamese did.

Even Giap admitted in his memoirs that news media reporting of the war and the anti-war demonstrations that ensued in America surprised him. Instead of negotiating what he called a conditional surrender, Giap said they would now go the limit because America's resolve was weakening and the possibility of complete victory was within Hanoi's grasp.

And the North used the anti-war movement in its war strategy.

Bui Tin, who served on the general staff of the North Vietnamese army, received South Vietnam's unconditional surrender on April 30, 1975. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal after his retirement, he made clear the anti-war movement in the United States, which led to the collapse of political will in Washington, was "essential to our strategy."

The Times article continues...

In 1974-75, the United States snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Hundreds of thousands of our Vietnamese allies were incarcerated, and more than a million driven into exile. The awesome image of the United States was diminished, and its enemies were thereby emboldened, drawing the United States into new conflicts by proxy in Afghanistan, Africa and Latin America.

Which is exactly what happened.

The cut and run Democrats did it in Vietnam, Somalia and now they want to repeat it in Iraq. The thing is, when you call the Democrats bluff and give them a chance to vote on cut and running, they vote to, as Bush puts it, "stay the course". In fact, the Democrats have voted 5 times to "stay the course".
