I was looking at Wolf Blitzer’s stream of sound bites and clips from the other Sunday talk shows a while ago. One of the clips was of Chuck Schumer, Democratic Senator from New York. He said something to the effect that, “for the first time,” it is the Democrats’ approach to the War for Iraq that is the right one or the popular one or whatever.
Well, whatever their view is —besides withdrawal— I do not know it.
Are we still talking about Jack Murtha’s “over the horizon” posture of “redeployment”? Are Democrats going to stand up and say that we should put more troops into Iraq? Maybe the Democrats have a secret plan to reinstitute the draft. I’m sure Charlie Rangel would like to float that one again.
So what is the alternative that Schumer alluded to? What have the Democrats proposed that is a means to victory? Or are Democrats so hungry for electoral victory that they only want to withdraw and leave Iraq to the partisans and terrorists?
Where are their thoughts? Opposition without a proposition is defeatism.
