It has been less than a week since president Obama announced an extremely limited involvement for US air power in Iraq. During that time, there have been about ten airstrikes against ISIS targets in northern Iraq. This morning, one Democrat congressman announced that Obama's mission to thwart ISIS had been "lost".
I don't make this stuff up. There really are congressional Democrats who have declared the efforts ordered by Obama a "loss". This is truly unbelievable.
Look, I remember senator Harry Reid declaring the Iraq War lost just as the surge got underway and America gained victory over the terrorists in that country. Reid's declaration came after years of war and major effort by the USA. He was wrong, but his position was the epitome of insight compared to this latest statement. There has been less than a week of minor American involvement against ISIS. No sane person could declare the effort a loss that fast. Of course, I did say that the speaker here was a Democrat congressman, so sanity is not necessarily present.
The truth is that the Democrats don't care about whether or not America wins this latest fight with ISIS. These are people who just want to keep America from any further involvement in Iraq no matter what happens there.
