| Analysis: Musharraf hedges his bets on Afghanistan |
| 2007-02-21 |
| This is what happens when the Democrats wave white flags and play politics with national security. Our allies and our enemies are CERTAIN of their cowardice. The way Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf reads the geopolitical tea leaves in the Middle East and South Asia is not to our liking, but hardly surprising. Political science 101 shows a U.S. Congress, controlled by the Democrats, not prepared to see the Iraq conflict through to victory -- i.e., a free democratic country able to sustain and defend itself without the U.S. military. In fact, Musharraf, like the rest of the world, noted that Democratic frontrunner for the White House Hillary Clinton, who voted for the Iraqi war, is now calling for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq to begin in 90 days. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid calls Iraq "the worst foreign policy mistake in American history" as senators prepare legislation that would revoke authorization for the war. ...The corollary is what happens in Afghanistan if the United States does not prevail in Iraq. He began hedging his bets with a controversial deal signed last Sept. 5 with tribal leaders in North Waziristan...who are Muslim fundamentalists and pro-Taliban. REST AT LINK. |

| #1 Cajunbelle...and it's exactly why I am becoming even more anti-donk everyday. I have always thought the donks were generally wrong, but at least had a semblence or charade of correct motives. However, even in the politics of corruption we call the Beltway...the donks are so wrong on the GWOT that they are placing the entire nation in peril. |
