Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

Per the Associated Press

"Twilight brings traffic jams to the main shopping district of this once-affluent corner of Baghdad, and hundreds of people stroll past well-stocked vegetable stands, bakeries and butcher shops. To many in Amariyah, it seems little short of a miracle."

Then the Washington Post

"The number of attacks against U.S. soldiers has fallen to levels not seen since before the February 2006 bombing of a Shi'ite shrine in Samarra that touched off waves of sectarian killing...The death toll for American troops in October fell to 39, the lowest level since March 2006."

Finally from the NY Times

"American forces have routed Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia, the Iraqi militant network, from every neighborhood in Baghdad, a top American general said today, allowing American troops involved in the 'surge' to depart as planned."

So if you are a democrat heading the house, what do you do to support the war effort? Of course, you force a debate on when we surrender.

So on this Veterans Day, this is what democrats call "supporting the troops"
