Readiness For What?
The Democrats have a strategy for defeat in Iraq. Top House Democrats, working in concert with anti-war groups, have decided against using congressional power to force a quick end to U.S. involvement in Iraq, and instead will pursue a slow-bleed strategy designed to gradually limit the administration's options.I wonder if after our pull out it becomes necessary to retake Iraq to prevent genocide, will that be politically sustainable? No doubt Democrats have the courage of their convictions. "What we have staked out is a campaign to stop the war without cutting off funding" for the troops, said Tom Mazzie of Americans Against Escalation of the War in Iraq. "We call it the 'readiness strategy.'"Readiness for what? Certainly not readiness to defeat our jihadi enemies. It is 1936 all over again. This move by the Democrats will not shorten the war against the jihadis. It will make it at least ten times bloodier for them and us.
