The "Cockroach" Is A Coward—And So Are The Democrats
By Debbie Daniel (12/17/03)
Does anyone know how to sing the “Hallelujah Chorus?” After the Republicans finish the first verse, I hope and pray the Democrats will have the decency to stand and sing the second.
It was a bit disconcerting to see only one Democrat within the first two hours of the breaking news of Saddam Hussein´s surrender come out on television and give his opinion of this grand capture.
What disappointed me most about Senator Lieberman was that he could not resist the temptation to get “political” on a day that should have been totally off limits to politicking. But he took his shots at George Bush, nonetheless. He went into a tirade of how he (Lieberman) may speak softly, but he could carry a big stick and would certainly use it.
Now what´s that all about? He sounded like he was on the campaign trail. Get off the road a minute Senator Lieberman; just pull your car over to the shoulder and take a few deep breaths. We just caught one of the most despotic characters in history, and you want to give a campaign speech.
There was no way as the day went on - and many more Democrats were aware of the news - that they could even “act” excited. I watched . . . I looked deep into the eyes of many, and by golly, they had their poker faces on and were not going to show any jubilation, come hail or high water.
It's a game! This political atmosphere carries over into every realm of our lives.
Where´s the cheering? The shouts of praise? What a wonderful gift to the Iraqi people!!!
I´m convinced God himself couldn´t make those Democrats stand up and cheer. They have become such an arrogant bunch, that no matter what´s been done for the good of our country, or in this case the world, they believe they can do it better.
All of you Monday morning quarterbacks now in positions to analyze and critique the weekend´s events don´t have a clue about which you speak. I heard one NBC analyst say that this was no big accomplishment; it´s really Osama bin Laden who is the most dangerous.
Okay, so let´s just throw Saddam back in the hole? We all know Osama is dangerous, and he better be somewhere loading his gun, but that´s not the point. We got Saddam first and I have no doubt the troops are closing in on the other vermin.
As I see it, there are "Twin Towers" shining through the clouds of darkness these days in the likeness of George Bush and Tony Blair. Never in my lifetime have I thought of two world leaders like this, but they have become the embodiment of towering strength. They have announced to the world that they will stand strong against evil doers and not back down under any circumstance to win this war on terror. And I believe them.
Isn´t it ironic that it took some cowboys from Ft. Hood, Texas to bring down Saddam Hussein? Why these guys practically trained in George Bush´s backyard.
I was told a story of a little girl who ran into her grandmother's house on Sunday morning and announced, "Grandma, some cowboys from Texas just caught Saddam Hussein in a hole." Ha, that says it all.
I´m delighted that we finally witnessed the cowardice of that "Cockroach." He proved his weakness when he came out of the hole shouting “Don´t shoot.” And guess what folks, he speaks English.
He absolutely did not want to be misunderstood, so the English came fluently. Aha, I wonder if Dan Rather feels foolish doing an entire interview with a man that knew and understood every word he uttered.
I just about died laughing when I realized the degree of attention that must have been given to that interview and how the interpretation had to be so accurate. What a joke!
The “Butcher from Baghdad” just sat there in his own pompous way making fools of all of us, and we thought the interview deserved merit. Humph!
I´m also delighted that we witnessed the cowardice of many Democrats, and have seen first-hand what they´re really made of.
We just captured one of the most wanted tyrants in the world; one of the scumbags of the earth, and the “dems” want to lecture us on how it was all done wrong.
Hillary Clinton wants us to know that we would have been further along by now had we had international involvement.
John Kerry arrogantly claims that we could have probably gotten Saddam Hussein sooner if we had more help.
Senator Joseph Biden of Delaware had the nerve to say we´ve got to bring in the “Big Dogs.” Excuse me, Senator, we ARE the big dogs.
Howard Dean thinks this is a grand opportunity to take the American label off the war. Are you embarrassed, Mr. Dean? Feeling like a Dixie Chick?
And have you heard the latest from “Baghdad Jim McDermott?” The congressman who criticized the president last year in Baghdad has the gall to insinuate that the capture of Saddam was timed for political reasons.
What a shame. My goodness, where did you people come from? For all your shouting and screaming at how you will defy anyone that questions your patriotism, I say to each and every one of you imperious ingrates, “You are tearing down my country, you are tearing down our military; you are tearing down my president, and I cannot stand the mockery you are making of this great historical feat.”
I do indeed question your patriotism.
None of you is presidential. You are a disgrace to our country to take such an opportunity to grandstand; not even 24 hours after capturing the “Cockroach” and you want to continue your political stance on what you would do.
H u s h . . . in the name of common decency, just shut your mouths . . . every one of you. I will never forget how you tried to tarnish this wonderful day of victory with your selfish commentary, but I have a feeling you´ll pay for it at the polls next election. People don´t forget.
It´s a victory for which we´ve been on bended knee in prayer; a victory for which we´ve patiently waited; and you can´t muster up enough integrity to say: “Thank God for this victory; Thank God for our soldiers; Hallelujah for the Iraqi people, and God Bless America and George W. Bush.” That´s all you needed to say.
Bless their hearts . . . this was their moment and you wanted it to be yours.
This “deliberate display of defection” was for nothing more than political gain and I was livid by your posturing.
I could not embrace the joy I felt because you Democrats would not let-up with your continued admonitions. It really is just a game, isn´t it? It has nothing to do with America anymore, but everything to do with politics. I thought for sure we could take off our "party" uniforms for just one day and act like Americans.
What a day of “rejoicing” for the Iraqi people, and what a sad day of “reckoning” for the Democrat Party. We see exactly what you´re made of and it's despicable.
Oh, one closing thought . . . wouldn't you love to see Lt. Col. Allen West lead the interrogation of Saddam Hussein? I bet he'd have some things to tell us. Yee-hah!!!
