If we let Democrats force us into a debate on the surge or the current situation in Iraq, we lose.-Republican Congressmen John Shadegg (AZ) and Peter Hoekstra (MI), in a memo to GOP colleagues regarding this week's House debate on President Bush's planned escalation of the Iraq War.
At this point in the mismanaged war, shouldn't this be about the troops, as opposed to Republican congressmen and their incompetent president?
And let's be clear...a much needed debate won't cause the Republican Party to lose on this issue; Mr. Bush has already done that for them.
