An analysis of Senator Inouye's statement demanding President Bush stop the
RNC from showing the Democrap Neo-Surrender Monkeys in their own words:

From Powerline Blog:

This is really one of the dumbest statements we've seen from the Democrats
yet. Inouye says he "knows what it takes to win a war." But the
Democrats aren't talking about how to win in Iraq, they are talking about
abandoning the effort. That is to say, losing.

Inouye says the ad seeks to "distract the American people from the
problems in Iraq." Actually, of course, there is no chance the
American people will forget that there are problems in Iraq, since nearly
every news report about the country focuses exclusively on those problems.
What Inouye wants is for all the news to be bad all the time, and for the
Republicans to refrain from pointing out that in fact, notwithstanding the
problems, we are not losing in Iraq. We are winning. It is not defeat in
Iraq the Democrats fear, it is victory. They are scared to death that it is
happening before their eyes.

Finally, Inouye denounces the Republicans for "playing politics"
on Iraq. This is hilarious. The ad shows Democrats saying that we have no
chance to win in Iraq and should pull out. How is it "playing
politics" to let the American people know what the Democrats are
saying? Are the Democrats ashamed of their own words? And why isn't it
"playing politics" when the Democrats launch one false, vicious
attack after another against the administration, but only when the
administration defends itself?

The truth is that the Democrats have never done anything about Iraq other
than to play politics. When they thought it was to their political
advantage, they pretended to support the war. The moment they thought it
was to their political advantage to abandon our soldiers' efforts, that's
what they advocated. They pretend that no progress is being made in Iraq
when they know that is not the case, and they try to shout down anyone who
disagrees with them. What is prompting the present hysteria is that they
are afraid the Iraq issue isn't playing the way they expected it to. What a
party! Two and a half years into a war, and they're still trying to keep
their options open.
