Lessons From Iraq

Dan Abbett says we should keep the hard won lessons of urban combat, rather than the cut and run plan of the Democrats:

Congressman Jack Murtha, the new media darling for pouring cold water on the Iraq war made just about the most asinine statement that one could imagine. He inferred that like Reagan in Lebanon and Clinton in Somalia, it is time to change direction and withdraw our troops from Iraq. Does this man actually have a clue? As a direct result of the “direction” taken by Presidents Reagan in Lebanon and Clinton in Somalia, Lebanon is now host to one of the most radical terrorist organizations, Hezbollah, and Mogadishu, Somalia, has recently been taken over by Al Queda. Is this truly the new direction the Congressman prescribes?

The Dems have obviously become delusional over Iraq, but their impending loss in November is Bush's gain.
