American soldiers are pawns for the politcal ambitions of Democrats:

Dems Urged to Seize 'Political Opportunity' Of Iraq War

(CNSNews.com) - Democrats hoping to win control of the White House in 2008 must seize the "golden opportunity" presented by failures in the war in Iraq and rethink their approach to national security, according to a security analyst and former staffer for Vice President Al Gore.

"For Democrats, who desperately want to regain the White House, the political opportunity is obvious," writes Haas, a former communications director for Gore and a former communications director for the Office of Management and Budget under President Bill Clinton.

Haas speculates that the war in Iraq "has given Democrats an opening - but only an opening, not a guarantee of future political success," and outlines steps Democrats must take to regain the American people's trust on national security issues.

He said the next Democratic presidential hopeful must "proudly trumpet the superiority of U.S.-style freedom and democracy, clearly define the challenge of militant Islam, and convince the American people that he or she is eager to grab the reins of power in order to protect their safety and security."

Haas also criticized Democrats for associating with filmmaker Michael Moore, anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan, and activist groups like MoveOn.org, writing that Democrats have been "seized by an almost obsessive anger at the president, leading too many of them to discount, if not dismiss, everything with which he is associated."
