In a February 12, 2004 FrontPage Magazine piece David Horowitz heaps righteous contempt on the Democrats' campaign against President Bush's prosecution of the Iraq phase of the war on Islamic terror: Stab in the Back
The Democrats' personal attack on the President over the war is not only imprudent; it is also unprecedented. Never in our history has a commander-in-chief been attacked on a partisan basis for a war that went well, let alone so well. Never in human history has a leader been attacked on a partisan basis for liberating a people or inducing tyrants to give up their weapons of mass destruction. The Democrats' attack on the President is an unprecedented partisan campaign over national security in a time of war. It is a campaign that apparently knows no limits, adopting tactics that are as unscrupulous as they are reckless. The commander-in-chief has been called a "deceiver," a "deserter," a "breaker of promises," a "fraud" who "concocted" the war for personal material gain, a leader who risked innocent American lives for a "lie." And all these accusations are made while the war continues! All these charges are made while terrorists plot to kill thousands of Americans with biological and chemical and possibly nuclear weapons! The Democrats' campaign is a stab in the back not only of the President but of the nation he serves and which he is sworn to protect.
No one knows what the future will bring. But no one can fail to have noticed that while the commander-in-chief has carried on an aggressive war against terror in Afghanistan and Iraq, there have been no terrorist attacks on American soil. For two-and-a-half years while the commander-in-chief has waged this war that the Democrats have chosen to attack, the American people have been safe.
If the American people were now to elect a candidate who has conducted his campaign as an attack on the very war the President has fought to defend us, no one can doubt that our enemies will be encouraged and our lives will be in greater danger than before. Perhaps there have been elections with higher stakes than the one we are facing this year. But this observer can't remember one.
Read the whole essay, then use this link to let the Democratic National Committee know that more Americans will die because of their at best reckless, and at worst treasonous, tactics.
