No-Win Scenario
Weapons of Mass Destruction have been found in Iraq. They are highly explosive, yet very unstable devices. They are called Democrats and they are on the verge of destroying one of the most powerful political parties in the world. Unfortunately, these weapons are not reliable in times of war and will therefore result mainly in the destruction of themselves.
The Democrats do not have a winning scenario remaining in the Islamic War. There are only a handful of ways the war can play out in the next few years and none of them favor the party of appeasement and surrender.
If the situation in Iraq and the rest of world does not substantially improve in the next 2 years, the Democrats will undoubtedly maintain control of Congress and win the Presidency in 2008. Then what? As their gains will have come from promoting “peace”, they will have no choice but to de-escalate the war in Iraq. Then what? Even the loudest of the howling moon-bats can’t possibly believe the violence in Iraq will decrease if the United States pulls out. Remember that in about a 24 hour period in March of 2003, the Iraqi military went from being the 5th strongest in the world to the 2nd strongest in Iraq. The United States is the only force in Iraq that actually wants to stop the violence. When this deterrent is gone, the resulting chaos will be gruesome. The Democrats can (and will) blame George Bush for starting this, but even their allies in the media will not be able to resist covering the mayhem. At some point, the “peace” crowd will become sickened enough to ask how we ever allowed this to happen. The Democrats will have no choice but to watch millions die (no exaggeration…see Cambodia, post-US pullout from Vietnam) or send troops BACK. Even Clinton’s slickest spin-meisters couldn’t turn that into a Democratic win. As the Islamic War will not end in Iraq, regardless of the outcome there, Americans will not trust Democrats again with leadership for the remainder of the war.
If the United States actually succeeds in concluding Operation Iraqi Freedom favorably, by establishing a stable government that is an ally in the Islamic War, the Democrats will lose credibility for wartime leadership, since they abandoned the cause so early and so easily. Ironically, this is not only the least-likely outcome and the only one that prevents total destruction of the Democratic Party, but it’s also the one that Democrats are fighting against the most ferociously. It would basically be a push, where the Democrats could plausibly make a case that their seditious behavior in a time of war was merely “loyal opposition”. Americans are still asleep enough regarding the impending threat to their lives and freedoms, that they will comfortably go back to watching American Idol and be glad this whole Iraq mess is over.
There is no possible scenario of America “losing” in Iraq as long as we keep fighting. Body counts will increase, but American forces have not lost one engagement with the enemy yet and are not likely to lose one in the future. It is absolutely impossible for a military force stronger than the Americans to emerge within Iraq, as the infrastructure for an anti-American war machine could not possibly be built with our current, overwhelming, presence on the ground. The worst case scenario for America is an actual WMD that is used against our troops. Since Democrats know that “Bush lied, people died” and there are no WMDs in Iraq (or Syria…or Iran) this simply cannot happen. If it does, a lot of people will be scraping bumper stickers.
That covers Win, Lose or Draw over the next 2 years. However, since this is a regional war, there are other factors that can play in. The insurgency could not have lasted this long without outside support. Syria, Iran and al-Qaeda have all contributed to the on-going turmoil. There is no area I disagree with more in the handling of this war, than the administrations’ failure to define it properly. Calling it the War on Terror is bad enough (this is like referring to World War II as the War Against Surprise Attacks), but refusing to present the avalanche of evidence that Iran and Syria are active sponsors of this war to the American people is feeding into our greatest weakness. The dissent within our own borders is the enemy’s greatest asset. Osama has said, specifically, his vision of the Last Helicopter is how Islam will defeat the West. He refers to the American helicopter pushing Vietnamese civilians away as it hauls off the last U.S. soldiers. Helicopters burning in the desert of Iran after the botched rescue operation for the embassy hostages. Helicopters taking the last Marines out of Beirut, following the barracks bombing. Blackhawk Down in Mogadishu, which al-Qaeda is directly responsible for. Osama, al-Qaeda and all of our enemies in the Islamic War believe that America is a Paper Tiger, which will simply run away if it meets too much resistance.
The regional players in this war want weapons of mass destruction. Syria most likely already has them, as credible sources have said they were hidden there before the invasion of March 2003. Iran probably has some, but without question is pursuing the ability to build its own nuclear weapons. If one of these is used against Americans, how will the public react? This country actually came together for a few weeks after September 11th. What happens if it happens again? The Democrats and moon-bats will blame Bush, without question, but who will the American Idol audience hold responsible? I think it will be the bastards who did it. If we can’t identify them, then it will be the bastards who cheered after it happened. If they’re smart enough to stay quiet, it will be the bastards who have been chanting Death to America for the last couple of decades. Somebody is going to pay. Big time. The Democrats will have no choice but to hunker quietly in a corner, or oppose retaliation. Neither case has the Democrat leadership gaining the trust of the American people ever again.
There is not a winning scenario for the Democrats. They have rooted against the home team too early and too often. They are hypocrites, incompetents or traitors. As this war is likely to last for most of our lifetimes, this does not bode well for the future of that party. Congratulations on the mid-term election victory, Democrats. Sometimes, selling your soul to the devil is actually a higher price than it’s worth.
