Democrats twist the knife voters thrust into our troops back

From the New York Times...

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12 — Leading Senate Democrats vowed today to use their new majority in Congress to press for troop reductions in Iraq within a matter of months, stepping up pressure on the administration just as President Bush is to be interviewed by a bipartisan panel examining future strategy for the war.

Last week I received this letter forwarded by Heidi at Euphoric Reality. It's from a soldier stationed in Iraq to the Rusty Humphries show...

I would like you to tell America exactly what they did to their soldiers on Tuesday, and what WE think about our countrymen right now.

I hope you are satisfied with what you have done…

Today in the mess hall, where there is usually jovial conversation, there was silence, long faces, and broken spirits… Everyone, to include all American soldiers, marines, sailors, airmen, Iraqi Nationals, Bulgarian Soldiers, etc, etc… was speechless, tired, demoralized and stunned…. all ate in eerie silence…..

Last night, while we watched the press conference with the President, there was utter disgust, and the common feeling amongst us all that we soldiers are now the loneliest people on Earth…. we fight an enemy over here, and we have a country full of enemies to go home to that are our countrymen. We watched President Bush say his own political funeral, our commander and chief… as well as ours….. He tried so hard to spin it, but… well.. there is no way to soften such a morale blow.

While you sit and Monday morning quarterback what we work so hard to do for you out here, just know that the spirit of your team is wounded….. YOU liberals, you America have done a great job of demoralizing us… Thank you. 

Do us a favor though, when we do come home, spare us the ceremony……. We all now know that it is a bunch of crap, and what you think of us…….

Heidi has the rest.

We asked of them great sacrifice, yet when we get uncomfortable, we want to pull them out before they're allowed to finish the job they were sent to do—making their sacrifice a waste. THEY want to stay and finish the job. The voters are discouraged by the terrorists propaganda arm commonly referred to as "The American Media" continually showing the worst of the war, and little of the accomplishments. So the voters ousted the grown ups and brought back the "kindergarten teachers" of the early Clinton era to sooth our tender emotions and toss the solders on the street so we don't have to look at them. Will the MSM show the devastation caused by the withdrawal? Of course not, unless it's to try to blame Bush for it, by claiming it's all caused by going in the first place.

What would you think of a doctor who at the first sign of complications, decided to simply end the operation there and walk away? We'd put a person like that in jail for gross negligence. But what we are doing is no less gross, and no less negligent.
