Disconnected From Reality

From the DNC blog Kicking Ass

Vice President Dick Cheney:

"The level of activity that we see today from a military standpoint, I think, will clearly decline. I think they're in the last throes, if you will, of the insurgency."

Republican Senator John McCain:

"What I think we should do," McCain told NBC's "Meet the Press," "is wait until we achieve the successes, then celebrate them, rather than predict them. Because too often that prediction is not proven to be true."

Republican Senator Chuck Hagel:

"The White House is completely disconnected from reality," said Hagel. "It's like they're just making it up as they go along. The reality is that we're losing in Iraq," said Hagel, who added that increasingly, fellow Republicans are coming to share his view.

"More and more of my colleagues up here are concerned," he said.

That creaking sound you hear…that's the sound of the Republican Party breaking over the stress of maintaining its failed policies. It's time for the White House to stop living in its fantasy world, recognize its failures, fix its problems, and then move on. They've done enough damage already - we don't need them causing even more harm by being bullheaded and stubborn. Things are never going to get better if they refuse acknowledge there's a problem.
