Well, well, well. Seems that it isn't just rightwing nutballs like me who think the growing evidence that "the surge" is working in Iraq is bad news for the Democrats.
Democratic Surrendercrat Congressman James Clyburn of South Carolina has admitted that he is worried that the surge may work in Iraq and ruin Democratic Party plans to impose a timetable for a surrender reports blogging journalist Don Surber.
Clyburn is the Majority Whip — No. 3 man in the House — and he said that if Gen. Petraeus has a positive report in September that would be "a real big problem for us" (Democrats).
Yes folks, that is how vested in the defeat of the American Army the Democratic Party has become. One of its major bowers said good news in Iraq would be "a real big problem for us" (Democrats).
In an interview with Dan Balz and Chris Cillizza of the Washington Post, Clyburn said a U.S. victory in this military campaign would cause the 47 Blue Dog Democrats to hold off on raising the White Flag.
There is something deeply disturbing about a member of Congress viewing American military success as "a real big problem" for anybody other than the enemy.
As Surber asks, Who is the enemy to Clyburn? The Republican Party or al-Qaeda?"
