New Kerryspeak For 'Cut N Run' Surrender - 'Empower' Iraq

These people are a real piece of work.

Apparently the latest Kerryspeak (read also as Demspeak or Demospin) for surrender is to try to spin "Cut N Run" to mean "Empower IRaq" (a new version of their present spin for "Cut N Run" - "Redeployment"). Of course what Kerry really means is for the U.S. to pull a Frenchy - to fold up its tent and come running home, a clear signal to terrorists that the U.S. has no cojones and can be beaten simply by influencing public opinion; the Islamofascists are counting on people like Kerry, Feingold, Pelosi, Kennedy, Murtha, Boxer, and Harkin to do their bidding for them. These are the Democratic leaders that place pursuit of political power and political agenda ahead of the interests of the nation, and it's now become clear, even to many Democrats, that liberal politicians like Kerry, Feingold, and others are playing to their anti-war liberal base instead of acting in the interests of the nation:

Sen. John Kerry said yesterday that redeploying combat troops from Iraq by July 2007 is the best way to "empower" the fledgling nation, despite accusations from Republicans and Democrats that his plan for withdrawal is irresponsible.

The Massachusetts Democrat implored senators to support his plan to withdraw troops within 13 months, leaving in place counterterrorism units and those protecting U.S. facilities. But the plan, offered as an amendment to the defense authorization bill, is not expected to win the votes of even a dozen senators this morning.

Some Democrats privately complained to reporters that Mr. Kerry and his bill's co-sponsor, Sen. Russ Feingold of Wisconsin, are jockeying for position in the 2008 presidential race and said the timetable is distracting in an election year in which Democrats are trying to take back the Senate. They said Mr. Kerry appears to be playing to anti-war liberals who were frustrated by his often stumbling position on Iraq during his 2004 presidential bid.

In 1996, before the Clinton Administration had completed its first term, Bin Laden was taunting that president about America's withdrawal from Somalia. "When tens of your soldiers were killed in minor battles and one American pilot was dragged in the streets of Mogadishu, you left the area carrying disappointment, humiliation, defeat and your dead with you," he wrote in his Declaration of War Against the Americans for Occupying the Land of Two Holy Places. Warming to his subject, Bin Laden added that "Clinton appeared in front of the whole world promising revenge, but these threats were merely a preparation for withdrawal...The extent of your impotence and weakness became very clear."

In that document, Bin Laden states plainly his legions of Islamist jihadists: "They have no intention," he said to America, "except to enter paradise by killing you." He added a foreshadowing of the fates that would find Daniel Pearl and Nick Berg and others more than seven years later: "There is nothing between us to be explained; there is only killing and neck-smiting." Within very few years Osama and his fellow killers would "enjoy" the additional thrill of posting their neck-smitings on the Internet.

Bin Laden went on to warn confidently of America's weak will for conflict. "Your problem," he said, "will be how to convince your troops to fight, while our problem will be how to restrain our youths to wait for their turn in fighting..." He summed up his manifesto with a concise expression of the nihilism that animates him: "Death is truth," he said. It is a credo made much more chilling by its rapid spread around the globe and its currency among various regimes.

In the authoritarian and tyrannical world view of radical Islamist terrorist ideology, America and the free world are too weak, too comfortable and too much in love with living to overcome the jihadist's maniacal commitment to a hard life and violent death in the name of Allah. It is likely that Bin Laden and his fellow terrorists were surprised by the post-9/11 American response to their operations, but that they still expect our resolve to wane and dissipate, and its allies to withdraw in the fashion of Spain, in the process of open public debate that characterizes free democratic nations.

As pointed out in the WT article, Democrats have tried to claim unity in blaming President Bush for failures in Iraq and calling for some "redeployments: (recall that this is Kerryspeak for "Empower Iraq"). The Democrats appear to be united in a position described by Kennedy that "it's time to shift to the Iraqis the responsibility for their own future and begin to withdraw our troops from Iraq." President Bush, on the other hand, has it right in saying (and doing) what he's said all along - that as the Iraqis are able to stand up, we'll stand down. It's simply naive to not believe that the Iraqis want us out as soon as possible, but have themselves said repeatedly that they just aren't ready yet.

As for why its taking so long for them to get up to speed, there's that little matter of trying to build an army and a police force in the middle of constant attacks from an insurgent force and their foreign terrorist friends, juxtaposed with having to overcome the complex religious issues characteristic of Islam.

Our take home message here is that Kerry, Kennedy, Feingold, Harkin, Pelosi, Boxer, and Murtha will continue to play politics and place personal power and political agenda over the interests of the nation. This is a time to stand together as one voice against retreat and surrender to Islamofascism and terrorism. In the minds of the terrorists, if we can't hack it in Iraq, they're right, and they have us by the cojones, we're dead meat, and the streets or America are next!
