Comments on: Slapping Down Pelosi http://bluecrabboulevard.com/2007/03/12/slapping-down-pelosi/ Summum nec metuas diem, nec optes - Marcus Valerius Martialis Wed, 30 Dec 2009 00:30:39 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Blue Crab Boulevard » Stark Warning http://bluecrabboulevard.com/2007/03/12/slapping-down-pelosi/comment-page-1/#comment-56411 Blue Crab Boulevard » Stark Warning Tue, 13 Mar 2007 11:47:23 +0000 http://bluecrabboulevard.com/2007/03/12/slapping-down-pelosi/#comment-56411 [...] The Washington Post has a rather stark warning to the Democrats: They are rapidly running out of media cover for their anti-war agenda. With both the LA Times and the Post sending clear signals that the Pelosi-Murtha plotting is a bad idea, someone in the Democratic party might really want to start paying attention. In short, the Democratic proposal to be taken up this week is an attempt to impose detailed management on a war without regard for the war itself. Will Iraq collapse into unrestrained civil conflict with "massive civilian casualties," as the U.S. intelligence community predicts in the event of a rapid withdrawal? Will al-Qaeda establish a powerful new base for launching attacks on the United States and its allies? Will there be a regional war that sucks in Iraqi neighbors such as Saudi Arabia or Turkey? The House legislation is indifferent: Whether or not any of those events happened, U.S. forces would be gone.

Their vision extends no farther than 2008. They care about nothing other than winning the next election cycle. They will deal with the fallout of anything they do now when/if it becomes a problem. In other words ... there are no such things as "potential problems" to the Democrats ... something is only a problem when it actually becomes a problem and they are relying on a friendly media to keep them out of hot water with the voters. A turning media would scare the bejezus out of them. They don’t care about “the long run”. Their vision extends no farther than 2008.

I can’t believe that common sense comes out or the L.A. Times, but when it comes to getting something other than the Dem’s agenda ……
