Iraq - Another Democrat In Support Of The Mission

Another clear sign we are winning. There's no way a former anti-war Democrat would turn pro-war unless they were convinced we were winning.

"Baird said he would not say this if he didn't believe two things:

• "One, I think we're making real progress."

• "Secondly, I think the consequences of pulling back precipitously would be potentially catastrophic for the Iraqi people themselves, to whom we have a tremendous responsibility … and in the long run chaotic for the region as a whole and for our own security."

Another reason for "flipping", something Democrats are good at, is the political wind is blowing the other way.

"Another interesting thing about the poll, Holland said, is that it indicates that about half of those surveyed — 47 percent — feel that the military is making progress in Iraq, although slightly more — 49 percent — do not."

That's way up on previous polls I've seen and helps explain Democrats flipping. Just imagine how high the support would be if the left wing media told the truth.
