Ralph Peters is one of my favorite writers...even though I disagree with some of what he says.
Nevertheless, he hits a good one here, with COWARDS GIVE UP ON GIS - & GIVE IN TO EVIL
Here's a sample:
PROVIDING aid and comfort to the enemy in wartime is treason. It's not "just politics." It's treason.And signaling our enemies that Congress wants them to win isn't "supporting our troops."
The "nonbinding resolution" telling the world that we intend to surrender to terrorism and abandon Iraq may be the most disgraceful congressional action since the Democratic Party united to defend slavery.
The vote was a huge morale booster for al Qaeda, for Iraq's Sunni insurgents, and for the worst of the Shia militias. {...}
This resolution has teeth, though: It's going to bite our combat commanders. By undermining their credibility and shaking the trust of their Iraqi counterparts, it makes it far tougher to build the alliances that might give Iraq a chance.If you were an Iraqi, would you be willing to trust Americans and risk your life after the United States Congress voted to abandon you?
Read it all.
