"I believe . . . that this war is lost, and this surge is not accomplishing anything, as is shown by the extreme violence in Iraq this week."--Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid, April 19, 2007
"Resolved, that this convention does explicitly declare, as the sense of the American people, that after four years of failure to restore the Union by the experiment of war, during which, under the pretence of military necessity, or war power higher than the Constitution, the Constitution itself has been disregarded in every part, and public liberty and private right alike trodden down, and the material prosperity of the country essentially impaired, justice, humanity, liberty, and the public welfare demand that immediate efforts be made for a cessation of hostilities, with a view to an ultimate convention of the States or other peaceable means, to the end that at the earliest practicable moment peace may be restored on the basis of the federal Union of the States."--1864 Democratic platform

What happened to the liberal warriors? Even FDR (who was practically a communist) at least wanted total victory over the enemies of his country! Truman dropped nukes on our enemies and brought them to their knees!
Today there would be calls for Trumans impeachment!!
We are fighting an enemy who doesn't even try to hide the fact that they want us all DEAD! not enslaved, not defeated, DEAD!
It's literally a kill or be killed situation and harry reid wants to surrender so that he can win more seats in congress.
So the Democrats were right then and they're right now? Is that what you're saying?
Ummmmm lets see? Who do we think was right? Abraham Lincoln? or the dems?
Tough one.
but i think i'll go with Lincoln.
