Most Republicans knew this a long time ago, but in case anyone was still unsure about the Democrats’ intentions with regards to the War in Iraq they have now pretty much cleared up the confusion:

Senate Democratic leaders intend to unveil a plan next week to repeal the 2002 resolution authorizing the war in Iraq in favor of narrower authority that restricts the military’s role and begins withdrawals of combat troops.

Now that the troops are there and risking their lives, the mental midgets in the Democrat Party want to severely limit what the troops their can do, thereby preventing them from having any chance whatsoever of actually winning the war. Of course, once the Democrats have taken this action, and the predictable results ensue, they will be all over the Main Stream Media (MSM) screaming about how the Republicans failed in Iraq.

So, now I feel I can now say this: Any Senator or Representative who votes in favor of this proposal is proving that they have absolutely no patriotism and, in fact, hate our troops to the point of ensuring that they will lose the fight they are engaged in and quite possibly lose their life.

So, who exactly is spearheading this proposal? The usual suspects:

“I’ve had enough of ‘nonbinding,’ ” said Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.), who is helping to draft the new Democratic proposal. The 2002 war resolution, he said, is an obvious target.

“The authorization that we gave the president back in 2002 is completely, completely outdated, inappropriate to what we’re engaged in today,” he said.

Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Joseph R. Biden Jr. (D-Del.) began calling for a reauthorization of the war early last month and raised it again last week, during a gathering in the office of Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.). Participants included Kerry, Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl M. Levin (Mich.), Charles E. Schumer (N.Y.), Jack Reed (R.I.) and Russell Feingold (Wis.). Those Democratic senators have emerged as an unofficial war council representing the caucus’s wide range of views.

As bad as all of this is, remember that in order to get this all approved it has to pass in both the House and Senate. While the House is a foregone conclusion, the Senate will never pass this, given that Joe Lieberman has more or less said that if the Democrats try to hamstring the troops, he’d become a Republican.

The next time any of these Democrats gets in front of a television camera. the first question they need to be asked is when they decided that the troops no longer needed their support. When the Democrat in question starts protesting the question, then ask the Democrat to explain how preventing the troops from doing what needs to be done to win the war is supporting them. At this point, just sit and watch the Democrats brain synapses start misfiring like a poorly tuned 1960 Dodge.
