The biased liberal media will not report the success of the troop surge in Iraq. Our troops have the terrorists on the run. This is bad news for Democrats, who were banking on the defeat of our troops to put their presidential candidate in the White House in 2008. The gloves are off. The push is on to bring about the humiliating defeat of our troops before the election by cutting off funding.

Democratic Sen. Byron Dorgan (after condemning Rush Limbaugh for defending our troops) is now leading the charge for defeat. He wants "re-deployment." Re-deployment is code for "surrender." Our troops don't need to go anywhere else to fight terrorists. There are plenty in Iraq, and more arrive daily.

Our troops were sent reinforcements, and it turned the tide. There is safety in numbers, so troop casualties are way down. The sad truth is that Democrats want troop numbers reduced so that the media will be reporting increased troop casualties by election season. This is what they desperately want when they say they want to "reduce troop levels in Iraq." Compared to entitlement spending, the cost of the war is pennies. It's not about money; it's about the 2008 election.

The majority in the most self-absorbed generation ever will never understand self-sacrifice. This is, after all, the generation that was so scared of its own shadow that it caused the defeat of our brave troops in Vietnam from home and then spat on them when they returned. When the brave soldiers in Iraq today enlisted, they knew what was going on. They watch the news. They knew they would end up over there. They were not drafted. They believe in the cause. Unlike its predecessor, this is a brave and noble generation. Let's tip our hats to them, give credit where credit is due and give them the funding and support they deserve.

People should contact Dorgan and tell him we support our troops and expect him to set aside the needs of his party and begin supporting them also.
