Must They Sound So Much Alike?




It comes as no surprise to me that America’s enemies would not take kindly to our latest strategic move against them: numerical military build-up in Iraq. One would expect the type of bravado from al-Qaeda leadership. Indeed, it has been issued by Ayman al-Zawahiri, the so-called “second-in-command.” Says al-Zawahiri, “Why send 20,000 only, why not send 50 or 100 thousand? Aren't you aware that the dogs of Iraq are pining for your troops' dead bodies?”

Yes, I can understand the enemy’s response; they are, after all, waging a war they want to convincingly win. But what motivates the American left and their political party of choice – the Democrats? “You can put a hundred thousand troops in, and you can up the casualties, up the stakes, increase the violence, and not get a resolution.” This was Sen. John Kerry’s (D-MA) answer to David Gregory’s (Today Show, 12/2006) question about sending additional American forces to Baghdad.

Must the American left/Democrat party sound so much like our enemy? ‘Nuff said.
