Democrats' game plan for Iraq

Just a little reminder.  In the unfortunate event that they win a super majority in congress, this is what Obama and the Democrats have in mind for Iraq. 

Compassion of the left

In a Newsweek essay by Michael Hirsch entitled Why America's Pullout From Vietnam Worked, which purports to tell the "truth behind Bush's mangling of Cold War history," we find this nugget.

Yes, a lot of Vietnamese boat people died on the high seas; but many others have returned to visit in the ensuing years.

In that sentence Mr. Hirsch succinctly explains why the left are so unmoved by the threat of a bloodbath in Iraq in the wake of an abrupt departure by American troops.  Bloodbath.  Mudbath.  Whatever.  For the Democrats and for the left, it just won't be a big deal.
