Patreaus

 

As a practicing Democrat, I felt it necessary to watch on tv the Senate hearings in which Gen. Patraeus and Amb. Crocker testified as to their opinions on the Iraq disaster.

 

As a practicing Democrat, I need to say that I don't feel the Democrats are trying hard enough to extricate us from this most disastrous foreign policy mistake in our country's history.

 

As a practicing Democrat, I was sad to see that the most telling points were made by Republican Senator Warner. I suppose because he is retiring at the end of his term, he was able to do this. He forced Gen. Patraeus to admit that there was no al Queada in Iraq before the invasion. He also made the General admit that he didn't know if the Iraq war was making our country safer. That being the case, what the hell are we doing there?

 

Finally, as a practicing Democrat I propose that both parties change their names. For the Republicans, the obvious change will be to "War Party". Sad to say, for the Democrats the name may have to be the "Duh Party".

 

For sure, the above opinion won't be heard on FOX News. FOX stands for Foolish Old Xenophobes.*
