Iraqi blogger blasts Democrats
Omar at Iraq the Model, a blog in Baghdad, says that the Democrats are hurting the war effort in Iraq.
Just as we began to see signs of progress in my country the Democrats come and say ‘well, it’s not worth it, so it’s time to leave. Evidently to them my life and the lives of twenty five million Iraqis are not worth trying for and they shouldn’t expect us to be grateful for this strategy although its tools are not fully deployed yet is showing promising signs of progress.
General Petraeus said yesterday that things will get tougher before they get easier in Iraq and this is the kind of fact-based realistic assessment of the situation which politicians should listen to when they discuss the war thousands of miles away. We must give this effort the chance it deserves and provide all the support and constructive critique, not the ‘war is lost’ empty rhetoric.
