Is this what the Dems want?  Sure seems like it. They are doing all they can, with the help of the MSM, to undermine not only the current handling of the war in Iraq and the war on terror, but to undermine the original bases for the war.   How, precisely, does it help our country to call President Bush a liar on these things?  Even when President Clinton was under attack for lying under oath in the Jones matter, that had a limited impact on what the world thought of President Clinton as a truthful international leader.  After all, most of the 'enlightened' world thought lying about sex was as natural as the sun rising in the east. 

These attacks on President Bush are much more pernicious.  They give our enemies support for their attacks (verbal and otherwise) our country, and its power in the world.  These attacks also do something far worse--they give our enemies justification for what they do to us and those who fight against radical Islamists.  If, as the Dems love to say, what we are doing in Iraq is actually increasing Islamic hatred for the US (and thus justifying, in that moral relativistic way,murdering Americans and anyone who works with Americans), then the self-fulfilling prophecy will occur.  How stupid can you get?  Did Republicans during WW2 say things that helped Hitler and Hirohito?  No.

Do I advocate a gag order against criticizing the Administration?  No, but how about some self-censorship?  How about having private discussions and negotiations instead of jabbering like Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi do, criticizing even the President's 9/11/06 speeches and activities?   Loose lips do sink ships, but the Dems seem not to care.  Spare us the Capitol steps singalong after another attack.
