as our troops make serious progress against al-Qaeda-in-Iraq and other
extremists, Congress - including Republican members - is sending the
terrorists a message: "Don't lose heart, we'll save you!"
Iraq's a mess. Got it. The Bush administration has made so many
mistakes I stopped counting a year ago. But we've finally got a general
in Baghdad - Dave Petraeus - who's doing things right. Iraqi
politicians are still disgracing themselves, but our troops are killing
America's enemies - with the help of our former enemies.
Al-Qaeda-in-Iraq is suffering a humiliating defeat, as fellow Sunni
Muslims turn against the fanatics and help them find the martyrdom they
advertise.
Yet for purely political reasons - next year's elections - cowards on
Capitol Hill are spurning the courage of our troops on the ground. [Ralph Peters continued]
