Jim Clyburn, Democrats invest in U.S. failure
SCGOP Chairman says Democrats politicizing war on terror
COLUMBIA, S.C. – South Carolina Republican Party Chairman Katon Dawson today released the following statement regarding U.S. Rep. James Clyburn’s claims that a “strongly positive report on progress on Iraq” would be “a real big problem” for Democrats:
“Winning the war on terror may be politically inconvenient for Jim Clyburn, but losing the war on terror is incomprehensible for those who fight and die defending freedom,” said Dawson. “Democrats politically invested in U.S. failure have deliberately sought to tie the hands of our troops by denying them resources needed to win in Iraq. The actions of Democrat leaders constitute a breech of public trust and disregard for our safety and security.”
As reported by the Washington Post: “House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) said Monday that a strongly positive report on progress on Iraq by Army Gen. David Petraeus likely would split Democrats in the House and impede his party’s efforts to press for a timetable to end the war… Of late there have been signs that the commander of U.S. forces might be preparing something more generally positive. Clyburn said that would be ‘a real big problem for us.’”
