Democrats on Iraq

TownHall has an interesting article this morning (http://townhall.com/columnists/LorieByrd/2007/11/30/denying_progress_in_iraq_in_2008).
-
Basically, it discusses what could happen in 2008 if the war in Iraq becomes more successful. Interestingly, it's on that path already.
-
"The Democrats running for President are now trying to appeal to their anti-war left base primary voters, and most congressional Democrats are still using the same old “Iraq is a hopeless failure” lines, but if the mission in Iraq is seen as anything close to a success next year the time between the primary and the general election will be spent by many Democrat candidates trying to find a way to get on the right side of the issue. Other Democrats will continue to do as some now are doing – denying the progress that has been made in the region and calling what is happening there anything but success."
-
"Already many on the liberal blogs have begun to explain why the reduction in violence in Iraq is not good news and how any purported successes there are only an illusion. Here are just a couple of the justifications being given for sticking to the “Iraq is an irredeemable failure” storyline.

1. Things have not really improved in Iraq – the administration is lying.
2. Okay, admittedly things really have changed, but lower casualty rates and reduced violence mean nothing if there is no political progress.

Check it out- great article.
