Democrats Fiddle While Soldiers Fight

The Democrats in the House have carried the day toward surrender in our largest battle in the war against the jihadists, with a win by six votes to impose a deadline on our troops.

Succeed or fail, it matters not. Just be done with it.

By doing so, they move death's hand closer, not only for millions of Iraqi allies aligned with us in a battle to the death with our common enemy, but also for you and me and General Pelosi behind the tree. If we lose this battle, it is entirely possible, perhaps even probable, that we will lose the war.

As usual, John Hinderaker at Power Line got it just right:

"If the Democrats were willing to fight as hard for victory as they are fighting for defeat, the country would be much better off."

The day will come when we remember these people as we remember the rats that carried the fleas that introduced the Black Death to the western world in the 14th century. These feckless politicians will empower our enemies to destroy all that we hold dear.
