Do We Really Need A 'General Pelosi"?

Topics: Political News and commentaries

I can't believe that common sense comes out or the L.A. Times, but when it comes to getting something other than the Dem's agenda out of the MSM, I'll take common sense from wherever we can get it:

AFTER WEEKS OF internal strife, House Democrats have brought forth their proposal for forcing President Bush to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq by 2008. The plan is an unruly mess: bad public policy, bad precedent and bad politics. If the legislation passes, Bush says he'll veto it, as well he should.

It was one thing for the House to pass a nonbinding vote of disapproval. It's quite another for it to set out a detailed timetable with specific benchmarks and conditions for the continuation of the conflict. Imagine if Dwight Eisenhower had been forced to adhere to a congressional war plan in scheduling the Normandy landings or if, in 1863, President Lincoln had been forced by Congress to conclude the Civil War the following year. This is the worst kind of congressional meddling in military strategy.

But Forward Movement says, not so fast: The L.A. Times gets it only half right!

In other coverage, Blue Crab Boulevard notes how the Dems have bet the farm on losing this war, but it's not a good idea to bet against America in the long run. McQ at Q and O complements the idea with " if Congressional Democrats truly believe that this war must end, have the courage to defund it. If they're not going to do that, then step back, shut up and let those who have the authority to actually make decisions about the conduct of the war do so."

My sentiments, exactly!
