Dems Allegedly 'Conducting Guerrilla Warfare on Troops'

Congressional Democrats are engaged in a "growing pattern" of demoralizing American troops, according to House Republican leaders who Wednesday showed no willingness to let the controversial comments of Illinois Sen. Richard Durbin die.

"While our men and women in uniform put their lives on the line each day to defend our safety and to protect our freedoms, I am sure the least they expect is the backing and the support of their leaders at home," said Rep. Deborah Pryce (R-Ohio), chairman of the House Republican Conference.

"To the contrary," Pryce added, "what we've seen from Democrat leaders is a growing pattern of jumping at any chance to point the finger at our own troops, bending over backwards to promote the interests of terror-camp detainees while dragging our military's honored reputation through the mud."

You know, this would be a really good way to lose a war. You control what the masses see and hear, making sure it is nothing but bad news about the nation, the military, and the war. With the country thus demoralized and foursquare against fighting any more, no politicians (and very few generals) will be willing to stand up and declare themselves in favor of victory.

Then you cut and run and declare yourselves heroes while ignoring the countless innocents left to the razor sharp mercies of the erstwhile enemy.

Yes sir...impressive strategy...I wonder why no one thought of this before...uh...hey, wait a minute...
