The Democrats' Mindset On Foreign Policy
Chuck Schumer hits the red zone on the hypocrisy meter:
In the Senate, Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), Minority Whip Dick Durbin (Ill.) and Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) criticized [Iraq Prime Minister] al-Maliki's comments calling for a ceasefire and expressing concern over Israeli "aggression" in Lebanon."Before he speaks before Congress and the American people, we ask him which side is he on in the war on terror," Schumer is quoted as saying.
Schumer asks a pertinent question; he just needs to stand in front of a mirror when he asks it.
In any event, al-Maliki is out to lunch regarding Hizbollah but so what? He's the democratically chosen leader of Iraq and he's entitled to his opinion. Would the Democrats lobby to ban Jacques Chirac from addressing Congress? This is just another reflexive anti-Bush response from the idea-deficient Dems.
Paul Mirengoff at Powerline perfectly sums up the Dems' foreign policy mindset:
Let's look at where liberal Democrats stand on national security. They oppose military action against hostile nations like North Korea when they are in the process of developing nuclear weapons; they oppose systems that might defend us from nuclear weapons after these hostile nation develop them; they oppose any serious effort to secure our border from terrorist infiltration and would condition even a relatively unserious effort on the granting amnesty for millions of illegals; they oppose obtaining information from terrorists through interrogation techniques that stop short of inflicting physical pain; and they even have reservations about surveillance techniques that enable us to listen-in on terrorists.If one didn't appreciate the knee-jerk nature of their opposition to defense and national security measures, one could easily conclude that liberal Democrats have a unified strategy for not defending the country.
Perfectly said.
