While Democrats Debate U.S.Troops Advance

While Pelosi and Murtha plod forward with their legislative effort to stop the deployment of more troops to Iraq, and Senator Reid and his ilk have been handed their first defeat with the negative vote on a attempt to stop the Presidents proposal. The "Striker Brigades" are fanning out over "hot spots" of terrorist activity in and around Baghdad going house to house. These groups of 2500 to 3000 troops have only one mission. Find the terrorists and their leadership and kill or capture them to stop the violence and destruction they are waging against their own Countrymen.
The only problem with this effort is that the first and second echelon of the Mahdi Army of Moqtada al-Sadr has fled to safe haven in Iran. This fact was reported by Michael Howard of "The London Guardian", and confirmed by the Advisor to Iraqi Prime Minister later today.
The BBC News also reported that radical Cleric Sadr
has sought refuge in Iran.
It appears that not only have the Iranians given hundreds of Austrian made 50 caliber guns, able to pierce armour plating, but are giving haven to those sought by our valiant troops until the appeasement Democratic Congress can force withdrawal of our troops.
Then the Mahdi army and the Iranians will invade Iraq and commit genocide on any and all those who cooperated with the U.S. This sounds strangely similar to the Viet Cong attacking our troops in the sixties in Viet Nam, and then withdrawing to safe haven in Cambodia where bureaucrats forbid our military to pursue them.
Vladamir Putin speaking in Germany this week said:" If U.S.were to leave and abandon Iraq without establishing the grounds for a united and sovereign country, that would be their second mistake. Even Putin who like our "Old Media" and Congressional appeasers, believes the first mistake was invading Iraq. Feels a withdrawal would be disastrous.
When will the American people wake up and realize that withdrawal will not appease the Islamist Terrorist.? It will only give them another place, beside Iran and Syria, to build weapons of mass destruction to be used against the U.S. and Israel. It will also give another "black eye" to the U.S. Military. Further giving reinforcement to the theory of Islamists that the U.S. is nothing but "a paper tiger". We must not let the leftist media and "wannabe" 60's anti-war movement win this battle. Ours' and Israels' safety and way of life depends on the winnig this war not capitulation as was done in Viet Nam.
