With Support Like This...

Sam Ryskind daydreams that Congress changes allegiances, officially:

They will denounce the terrorist leadership as incompetent. Condemn the insurgency for atrocities befitting Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot. Seek ways of cutting off funds for the failed jihad and prevent terrorist networks from eavesdropping on suspected American agents. And mock the rank and file as dupes who wasted their lives for a Paradise that doesn’t exist.

Not only would it undermine Islamic terrorists everywhere, it would free our troops from bearing the burden of such supporters.

If only.

UPDATE: Over at Kos, support for insurgents is actually that:

There is certainly no suggestion from any "respectable" publication that the resistance in Iraq is justified, and that therefore Iran should be praised for supporting it. That such an obvious argument has been totally excluded from the mainstream debate tells us a lot about the honesty of our intellectual culture and the integrity of our "free press".

Isn't this where we are supposed to ask if, due to his strong support for the war, Heathlander has any plans to join the fight?
