So here we go the Congress handpicked General Petraeus to run the Iraq war and to report back what he finds. General Petraeus goes to Iraq and with the troop serge and starts to make a difference and when he comes back to Congress they say he is wrong. We have people on the left that call the General all kinds of names and say he needs to be replaced.

When the Democrats see that General Petaeus is standing firm, they start talking about the Iraqi Government’s benchmarks. The cry is that the Iraqis are not doing enough and that is why we should pull out.

Lets use their standers for the Iraqi war on their progress.

01. Balance budget ---------------------- No

02. Stopping corruption -----------------No

04. Stopping over spending ------------ No

05. Controlling the debt ---------------- No

06. Putting an end to the war ---------- No

07. Bringing troops home -------------- No

08. Same sex marriage ----------------- No

09. Rolling back the tax breaks ------- Not really (letting them run out.)

10. Fixing no child left behind -------- No

11. Illegal immigration ----------------- No

12. Raising minimum wage ----------- Yes (which in a year all the prices will adjust

to meet the wage increase.)

This, is only a few benchmarks that the Democrats campaigned on and only one has truly been meet. Which in the end it pulls more people into the poor house. With this information and the Democrats own play book, we should pull out of the United States or at lest the Democratic party. Just think, they are not being killed on the streets or their families for trying to make a difference in a country.

Remember, Iraq is at war and the war is in their land. The Iraqi government is a young Democracy with people who had to deal with a dictator for decades.

Long live the fighters of freedom and vote out the ones who say serender.
