One of my favorite authors remarks on the war and the democratic perception of the war:
If control of the House passes into Democratic hands, there are enough withdraw-on-a-timetable Democrats in positions of prominence that it will not only seem to be a victory for our enemies, it will be one.
In fact, it is precisely the name “War in Iraq” that is leading to the deep misconceptions that drive the Democratic position on the war. If this were in fact a war on Iraq, then in one sense we won precisely when President Bush declared victory right after we occupied Baghdad. And in another sense, we might not see victory for another five years, or even a decade — a decade in which Americans will be dying alongside Iraqis. For a “War in Iraq” to linger this way is almost too painful to contemplate.
But we are not waging a “War in Iraq.” We are waging a world war, in which the campaigns to topple the governments of Iraq and Afghanistan were brilliantly successful, and the current “lukewarm” war demands great patience and determination from the American people as we ready ourselves for the next phase.
Mr. Card takes a realistic view of the “war on terror”, not the short sighted, partisan, head in the sand, view of most other democrats.
