"John Zogby's latest online poll -- for UPI -- showed 54% of Americans believe that the war in Iraq can be won. Only 34% said the war cannot be won.

11% said the war has already been won!

Among Democrats, 66% said Iraq is hopeless."

This was an online poll, and therefore was not very scientific.  But, it was done by Zogby for UPI and this is supposed to give the poll some credibility. 

It is particularly telling that 66% of Democrats believe we are losing in Iraq.  Perception is everything with these people, and they don't perceive anything but the lame utterings of Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and a peanut gallery of liberal has-beens like John Kerry, and Ted Kennedy.

Once again, the Democrats are on the wrong side of history.

President Bush was exactly right when comparing the current anti-war crowd in Congress with the Democrat Congress during the Viet Nam war.  It is historically factual that the USA was winning in Southeast Asia before the Democrat Anti-War Congress decided to cut-off all funding for the war. 

As a result of the idealistic rantings of the Democrat Party, millions of Southeast Asians died.  Two million South Vietnamese put to sea to find sanctuary from the North Vietnamese Communists.  They were called the "Boat People". 

Tens of thousands of these poor souls perished at sea, and thousands of others were caught and herded into prison by the North Vietnamese whose historic victory was compliments of a Democrat Majority Congress, and anti-war protesters like Jane Fonda and John Kerry. 

Hundreds of thousands of South Vietnamese were tortured, mutilated, and murdered by the victorious North Vietnamese.  The History Channel got it right when they recently showed films of North Vietnamese prison camps, with their soldiers torturing thousands of South Vietnamese to re-educate them. 

This is denied by the Democrats who, during the war, were busy smoking dope and protesting the war to keep from being drafted and forced to do their legal and patriotic duty.

Democrats will not take responsibility for their failures, and therefore cannot profit from the lessons of history.

Fortunately, most Americans are smarter than the average Democrat.
