Liz Cheney: "Retreat Isn't an Option"
2007-01-23
by Liz Cheney

Sen. Hillary Clinton declared this weekend, " I'm in to win." Anyone who has watched her remarkable trajectory can have no doubt that she'll do whatever it takes to win the presidency. I wish she felt the same way about the war.

In fairness, Clinton, with her proposal for arbitrary caps on troop levels and hemming and hawing about her vote for the war resolution, has company on both sides of the aisle. Sen. Joseph Lieberman is the only national Democrat showing any courage on this issue. We Republicans -- with help from senators such as Chuck Hagel -- seem ready to race the Democrats to the bottom.

I'd like to ask the politicians in both parties who are heading for the hills to stop and reflect on these basic facts:

· We are at war. America faces an existential threat. This is not, as Speaker Nancy Pelosi has claimed, a "situation to be solved." It would be nice if we could wake up tomorrow and say, as Sen. Barack Obama suggested at a Jan. 11 hearing, "Enough is enough." Wishing doesn't make it so. We will have to fight these terrorists to the death somewhere, sometime. We can't negotiate with them or "solve" their jihad. If we quit in Iraq now, we must get ready for a harder, longer, more deadly struggle later.

#2  WOT > WAR TO THE DEATH, no matter how it appears to the contrary, no matter how much lead time passes in-between. RETREAT IS NOT AN OPTION FOR THOSE WHOM BELIEVE IN FEDERALIST, UNIONIST, CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC = DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC,......FREE AMERICA, NO MATTER HOW MANY MUSHROOM CLOUDS RADICAL ISLAM UNLEASHES ON AMERICA. Not even for pro-USA OWG Global Socialists - remember, the Chicom plan to politely but necessarily eliminate 200Bilyuuhn Americans = Amerikans MAKES NO DISTINCTION BTWN US LEFTY vs US RIGHTY, US DEM vs US REPUB, US ALTERNATIST vs US CONSERVATIVE. ETC. KRAUTHAMMER > "Say it with me, US Lefties, you and yours will be gulagged + exterminated wid the rest of us". 9-11 > TWIN TOWERS COLLAPSING > Only issue is which US -ISM + BELIEVERS GET TO DIE FIRST.

#1  O'REILLY Radio Call-in [paraphrased] > "Its USELESS for our soldiers to stay and fight in Iraq + ME WHEN OUR POLITICIANS OR SOCIETY ARE NOT SERIOUS ABOUT WINNING. Better for Amer to get out than for our own GOVT to continue wasting our money plus the lives of our soldiers SOLELY FOR THE SAKE OF POLITICS. THE AMER PEOPLE WANT TO WIN, BUT FOR SOME REASON OUR POLITICIANS DON'T". O'REILLY went on later to say that AMERICA COULD USE SOME CRUSADERS IN WASHINGTON, PEOPLE THAT CARE MORE ABOUT DOING THE RIGHT THING BY THE COUNTRY = AMER PEOPLE, THAN NOT BEING BLAMED FOR ANYTHING FOR THE SAKE OF POWER = POLITICAL CAREERISM.

Whats the altern for America > WMF.com = SCO-ASIAN LED WORLD MAY BE BEST FOR EVERYONE. Can you see ANTI-US US-WESTERN LEFTIES PUTTING ON COMMIE STATE UNIFORMS + WORKING FOR PENNIES/
CENTS-TO-THREE DOLLARS AN HOUR! Kerry his five mansions? Pelosi her Californey investments? Kennedy? Hillary? And now you know why Lefties, Marxists, + USSR-Commie Bloc ideos focus historically on EUROPE, now AMERICA-NORAM in place of Europe. FAILED LEFT > know LEFTISM-SOCILAISM doesn't work + results in REGRESSIONISMS > REGRESSION = USING MORE OF SOMEONE ELSE'S $$$ FOR OTHER THAN INTENDED. WOT > WAR agz forms of Fascism is in antithesis WAR FOR COMMUNISM; War agz Rightism is WAR FOR LEFTISM. WAR AGZ GOD-BASED SOCIALISM is WAR FOR SECULAR ATHEIST SOCIALISM; WAR AGZ FORMS OF CORPORATISM is WAR FOR GOVERNMENTISM???
