Democrats: Help is on the way, al Qaeda!

As Pat Dollard notes: Democrats today performed a "treasonous political maneuver."

Strictly as an odious gambit to gain some advantage in their upcoming July 4 anti-victory legislation, the Democrats mimic Al Qaeda and officially declare the surge, which is yet fully in place, a failure. By creating the impression of failure, their anti-victory measures may have some chance of passing, and will at least seem valid to the American public; this is essentially what this latest scumbaggery is about. Plus it is about pandering: George Soros and Moveon.org are clearly yanking the leash, in angry, desperate frustration. In short, the Dems advance their war against America. Face facts: We are in our own civil war.

What they said:

Top US congressional Democrats bluntly told President George W. Bush Wednesday that his Iraq troop “surge” policy was a failure.

Senate Majority leader Harry Reid and House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi challenged the president over Iraq by sending him a letter, ahead of a White House meeting later on Wednesday.

This, as Dollard notes, despite that:

Only 4 of the 5 Surge brigades are in place - a stunning 69% of all IEDs have been defused since the Surge began, and Al Qaeda has lost control of the Anbar province, isolated in semi-hostile regions around Baghdad. Among many other advances. And what position will we be in regarding the Iran nuke/Afghanistan situations if we cut and run in Iraq?

And Think Progress rejoices.
