The Donks Are Lost

Harry 'The Surge Has Failed' Reid Facing Dem Revolt On Iraq

ITEM: Rahm Emmanuel, who is referred to by nut roots on KOS as the Democrat's Karl Rove (with emphasis on the evil) held a weekend powwow with Sen. Dick Turban, and other Donks - but House and Senate leadership were not invited.  The buzz is that Rahm smells the coffee and is counseling that Democrats cut ties with Pelosi, Reid, and the Kos nut roots who have become a huge image problem. The winner? Hillary Clinton who did initially support the war, and stands to inherit a winning strategy. That August 1st post may be confirmed by recent events, like this from the American Thinker. “ You know that things are going better in Iraq when even the Democrats begin to acknowledge it.     One senator said U.S. troops are routing out al-Qaida in parts of Iraq. Another insisted President Bush's plan to increase troops has caused tactical momentum. One even went so far on Wednesday as to say the argument could be made that U.S. troops are winning.     These are not Bush-backing GOP die-hards, but Democratic Sens. Dick Durbin, Bob Casey and Jack Reed. Even Sen. Carl Levin, chairman of the Senate Armed Services committee, said progress was being made by soldiers.     The suggestions by them and other Democrats in recent days that at least a portion of Bush's strategy in Iraq is working is somewhat surprising, considering the bitter exchanges on Capitol Hill between the Democratic majority and Republicans and Bush. Democrats have long said Bush's policies have been nothing more than a complete failure. By all reports, al-Qaeda is on the run in many of their former strongholds thanks to sustained and brilliantly executed counter-terrorism operations carried out by American troops and the assistance of formerly hostile Sunni tribesman. And there has been political progress ” It's called backfilling, and will allow these democrats to say, "We knew things were bad so we put pressure on the administration and they finally did some things we suggested .... "  Still, the San Francisco wing of the party stands to be utterly discredited and ousted from leadership roles in the party, which in a way is too bad, because they are so freaking stupid.
