It is time once again to point out how ludicrous and short-sighted the liberal left is when it comes to Iraq and their ‘surrender at all costs’ approach to the war effort there. And this time we have the assistance of Ayman al-Zawahiri, al-Qaeda’s number two, who lays out al-Qaeda’s intentions if the Democrats implement their surrender strategy on Iraq:

In an hour-and-a-half long audio-taped message Wednesday night, Al-Qaeda Deputy Commander Ayman al-Zawahri vowed that with Allah’s help, they would target Jews worldwide.

“We promise our Muslim brothers that we will do the best we can to harm Jews in Israel and the world over, with Allah’s help and according to his command,” said al-Qaeda’s second in command.

…

The deputy commander predicted that global jihad (“holy” war) would spread once the U.S. pulls out of Iraq.

“I expect the jihadi influence to spread after the Americans’ exit from Iraq and to move toward Jerusalem,” he said.

Supporters of the war and finishing the job to ensure al-Qaeda doesn’t become stronger have been saying this would be the end result of the Surrendercrats myopic policies. But now we can rely on the promise of al-Qaeda that they would use the vacuum left by our forces to spread into Iraq and be poised to join their allies in Syria and Iran in attacking our ally in the middle east. This is crystal clear and requires no interpretation or speculation. The only way to spin this is to grasp for extreme denial, to ignore reality.

The Surrendercrats, and their puppets in the SurrenderMedia need to face reality. The two decades long war with al-Qaeda and other Islamo Fascists is not over. We cannot declare victory and put on parades of charades on main street and expect al-Qaeda to roll over in and go away. They want to destroy the evil West, and they will exploit any opportunity our impatience or laziness offers them. To follow the Surrendercrats approach to Iraq is to put in place the conditions for decades more war, with the human suffering that will come with it.

At a time when the Muslim street is rising up against al-Qaeda we cannot give them an opening to rise up again and gain power. And the best way to give them that opportunity is to do EXACTLY what they desire and cut and run from Iraq. Surrender is not a path to peace, but a path to expanding the war and increasing the carnage exponentially. The world cannot afford the policies of the Democrats. America needs to be more responsible than listening to irresponsible ideas like that coming from the left and pay attention to what those who want to kill us in massive numbers are saying.
