Murtha Wants Us to Follow Somalia Model
It only seems that defeatist Dems like John "Moonbat Jack" Murtha have no idea what they're asking for when they demand retreat from Iraq. The other day on CNN's Situation Room (video), Murtha revealed that he actually has a pretty good idea just how disastrous the consequences of a premature "redeployment" would be.
Unsurprisingly, Moonbat Jack wasn't pleased that the House passed a resolution rejecting an "arbitrary date for the withdrawal or redeployment" of troops from Iraq and confirming that yes, preventing terrorists from taking over this critical country is in fact part of the global War on Terror. As quoted on NRO's Media Blog, Murtha whined:
The thing that disturbed me and worries me about this whole thing is we can't get them to change direction. And I said over and over in debate, if you listen to any of it, in Beirut President Reagan changed direction, in Somalia President Clinton changed direction, and yet here, with the troops out there every day, suffering from these explosive devices, and being looked at as occupiers, wahwahwah, wahwahwahwah, wahwahwahwahwahwahwah…
There you have it: Murtha wants us to "change direction" just like Clinton did in Somalia. Presumably he expects similar results.
The consequence of our turning tail and running after winning a battle but taking casualties in the process was Somalia plunging unhindered into total anarchy. While flies crawl on the faces of pot-bellied babies, al Qaeda is taking advantage of these optimal conditions to create a new safe haven from which to launch their operations.
Worse yet, our precipitous "redeployment" out of Somalia — just like Reagan's regrettable retreat from Beirut after 241 Marines were murdered by Hezbollah "with the approval and funding of Iran's senior government officials," as a U.S. District Judge found — clearly served to embolden terrorists and to escalate their violent campaign against civilization. As Osama bin Laden said of Clinton's Somalia surrender (as quoted in "Hunting bin Laden"):
The youth were surprised at the low morale of the American soldiers and realized more than before that the American soldier was a paper tiger and after a few blows ran in defeat. And America forgot all the hoopla and media propaganda ... about being the world leader and the leader of the New World Order, and after a few blows they forgot about this title and left, dragging their corpses and their shameful defeat.
We must be headed toward victory if Moonbat Jack wants us to change direction.
On a tip from V the K.

What you have to realize is that Murtha doesn't want us to cut and run so WE can fail. He wants us to cut and run so BUSH can fail. You could excuse the Dems for just being crazy if it was a hatred of America that fueled their drive for us to cut and run. Its actually something more insidious. They are so deep into dirty politics that they will support America's failure in order to make Bush look bad.

Just got through reading Ann Coulter's book "Treason" -- recommend it highly. This latest crap from the Murtha and the Dems is just more of the same that's been hurled from the left in every conflict since WWII. Standard modus operandi when a Republican administration defends the U.S., no matter the rightness of the cause. Clinton can run into the Balkans with no U.S. stragegic interest at issue, and nary a peep. Bomb our buildings, kill our people, and continue to threaten us with cyanide gassing of the NY mass transit system, etc., and we don't have a good reason for taking up the sword to defend ourselves. The left's not crazy -- they scheme and calculate each and every time.
