Democrats in Disarray Over Iraq Policy

I have listened to the news and the statements of the Democrat leaders Pelosi, Kerry, Dean, Murtha and others and I have concluded that they have no clue what should be done in Iraq different from what we are now doing.

Based on their recent staements, I conclude that their strategy is 'cut and run' or immediate withdrawal. They would describe it in different political terms, but what they are saying proves they are a party who cannot be trusted with the security of this country. Some Democrats are reasonable and understand the stakes in the war on terror. People like Joe Lieberman 'get it.' The radical left wing of the party...people like Pelosi, Dean, Kerry, Biden and Kerry cannot be trusted with the security 0f the United States. I find it interesting that Kennedy and Biden have been relatively quiet these past weeks while Murtha, Pelosi and Kerry seem to be carrying the left wing water.

The republicans have the opportunity to gain political advantage on this Democrat weakness. Will they?

Meanwhile, the economy is good and getting better thanks in part to the Bush tax cuts. The downside is we have large deficits and growing debt and a massive trade imbalance that will someday come to haunt us.
