Ready The Salvos

You know, I was recently accused of attacking Democrats to the detriment of my non-partisan crusade against the politicians.
It just so happens that I stumbled across this Reuters article this morning, and it provides the perfect opportunity to parry such claims. *gives the nod to that poster*

One look at the title should make you do one of three things: laugh, weep, or just puke. We have the Commander-in-Chief challenging his opponents for a plan. I'll say that again and take care not to have an aneurysm. Our President is defending the conduct of the Iraq War by pointing out that his opponents can do no better?

"Truth is the Democrats can't answer that question," he said. "Harsh criticism is not a plan for victory." says Bush.

No, it isn't. And neither is the half-assed containment policy we're enacting over there. So we have the two major powers in this country, and each when asked for their plan screams bloody murder "I don't know, but it beats the other guy's plan". In the midst of all that, our boys die daily. No, I don't want to leave Iraq. The job isn't done. Regardless of anyone's personal views on how we got there, most will agree that the job needs to be finished, and finished effectively. Our handling of the war stinks of tip-toeing around the media and taking care not to lose too many votes.

Bush said Democratic claims that the tax cuts would hurt the economy were wrong.
"Well, if their election forecasts are as good as their economic forecasts, we're going to have a great day on November 7," he said to cheers.

Maybe you will. Maybe the Republicans will hold their ground and it will be a day of celebrating for the GOP. Maybe, on the other hand, the Democrats will sweep both chambers, and it will be a great day for them. What about us? What about our soldiers? What about America? When is her great day coming? If you see that great day coming, please tell me, because I sadly do not.
