Gutless Wonders

I expect Democrats to promote abortion on demand, higher taxes and restrictions on gun rights. I expect them to embrace voting rights for non-residents and gay rights for homosexuals.

However, to lay down and surrender before al Qaeda is beyond reckoning. The party of appeasement has set a dead line for the withdrawal of American Forces. Have they learned nothing from the Cold War?

Obviously, not.

America maintained forces, ready to fight and die along the border of the Iron Curtain. NATO faced down over 200 Warsaw Pact divisions. We kept nuclear armed bombers in the air for decades. We spent trillions on a war no one wanted to fight, and we kept the peace.

Appeasement emboldens our enemies, and time tables assist their vicious plans.

Of course, their latest outrage has nothing to do with the war and everything to do with George Bush.

Bush 43 might not be the best president we ever had, but he understands one thing: al Qaeda is trying to kill us and we had better kill them first.

Note to the appeasers: that's the definition of war.
