Hugh Hewitt points out that after suffering a number of setbacks in England and Pakistan, al-Qaeda got a victory yesterday when GOP Senator Pete Domenici decided to defect from the President's war effort. These guys can't wait till September for the Petreaus' report? Of course, that may signal a wholesale GOP retreat.
Like Hugh, I don't intend to support overall GOP campaign efforts. I will send funds directly to candidates and causes that I support. The RNC and NRSC do not represent me anymore. Unlike Hugh, I never thought Domenici was a stalwart.
The really sad part is that evidence is dribbling out of Iraq that our current strategy may well be working. This does, of course, beg the question of why the President did not fight the war effectively in the first place, but it also makes you marvel at how craven these apostate Republicans can be. Their decision to cut and run now, after all this time supporting the policy, can be based only on one thing, fear of losing their seats. Is there anyone left in Washington who does something because its the right thing to do?
