Lindsey Graham: "Pour it on. Seize the Moment."

Republicans want to end talk of retreats as Victory in Iraq looms, according to Reuters:


Leading Republicans in Congress on Thursday declared that troop
withdrawal legislation should be scrapped because the United States has made
significant progress in the Iraq war, just as Democrats were resuming efforts to
bring soldiers home.
"It should be off the table," House Republican leader
John Boehner of Ohio said of Democratic attempts to pass legislation to force
President George W. Bush to withdraw some of the 168,000 U.S. troops in Iraq and
wind down the combat mission there.



Here's where Senator Graham shines:
Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said the 4-1/2-year war effort was
"finally paying dividends."
"We're at a crossroads. Pour it on. Seize the
moment ... take withdrawal off the table," said Graham, who last month served in
Iraq as a colonel in the U.S. Air Force reserves.



Whine all you want about today's Republicans. Though they certainly have plenty of faults, we haven't seen Patriots like this in America in decades!
