House Surrenders to Islamic Terrorists

In the aftermath of 9/11, who would have imagined that we were only a few short years away from this?

The House has passed a measure 223-201 that would require American troops to begin retreating from Iraq within 120 days, with all of them gone by next April Fool's Day. Unsurprisingly, the vote followed party lines.

We are fighting more than one enemy in Iraq, but all of them are fighting us in the name of radical Islam. Specifically, our main enemies are the same al-Qaeda that flew planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and proxies of Iran, which invaded our embassy in an act of war and held Americans hostage for 444 days.

These are the people to whom Democrats would have us surrender.

The cost of surrender will be extreme. America will officially have the status of the "weak horse." Iran will be ascendant in the region. In the short term, there will be a critical threat to the energy supply that is required for our economy to run. In the long term, Iran will dominate the Middle East and metastasize into a nuclear superpower: a Soviet Union run by Islamic terrorists who don't mind dying so long as we die too.

As for Iraqis, their reward for trusting America will be genocide on a scale we haven't seen since the Democrats and their lackeys in the media forced our retreat from Southeast Asia.

True the current surrender bill is unlikely to get through the Senate and W's veto. But the wheels of surrender have been set in motion. Weakened as it has been by moonbattery, our country may not have the will to stop them.

The consequences of defeat will not be pretty. At least we'll know whom to blame.
