Bob Wexler and "Our So-Called Credibility"
Posted by: Dean Barnett at 11:05 AM
“We’ve heard a lot today about America’s credibility…How many more men and women will (be) sacrificed to protect our so-called credibility?”
That was south Florida congressman Bob Wexler’s plaintive plea yesterday. The YouTube is here. By all means, watch the whole thing. I’m happy to say that even though I’m a South Florida resident, Bob Wexler is not my representative. I never thought I’d say this, but I do believe that Mark Foley served me much more nobly than Congressman Wexler ever could.
I saw Wexler’s testimony live, like I did most of the day’s festivities. Congressman Wexler went on about ten minutes before Hugh hit the air. I thought it was a pity that Hugh and the Generalissimo probably wouldn’t be able to incorporate Wexler’s hideous comments into the broadcast. I under-estimated their nimbleness; Wexler’s statement led the show.
As it should have. Bob Wexler, almost certainly unwittingly, summed up the Democrats’ biggest current problem by uttering the phrase, “Our so-called credibility.” For men like Wexler, things like honor and credibility are foreign concepts. The New York Times editors can blithely condemn Iraq’s Sunnis to genocide because honor and credibility mean nothing to them.
“Our so-called credibility” – with that little phrase, Bob Wexler brilliantly illuminated the preening narcissism and partisan blindness that afflicts the far left of the American body politic. It’s not our “so-called” credibility. It’s our actual credibility. And honor. What’s happening in Iraq isn’t a Republican war or a conservative war; it’s an American war.
Wexler spent most of his time analogizing the present conflict to Vietnam. He even compared General Petraeus to William Westmoreland. If Wexler wants to learn a real lesson from Vietnam, he can try this one – Nixon didn’t lose in Vietnam. America did. We lost our war. We also lost our credibility and honor. We still feel the repercussions from that debacle over thirty years later.
“So-called credibility”? Honestly, I don’t even know what the phrase means. But I do know that when it comes to real credibility, Bob Wexler and his fellow travelers have none.

THIS a Democratic Party LEADER.
Do you disagree with me? Do you believe Democrats are loyal Americans? Do you believe they are patriots, out to do the best they can for the country?
Then take me on. Some have tried in this thread, and my answer is to provide daily examples of why they're WRONG.
Democrats are disgusting in what they say, do, and aspire to, as regards to this country, and I'll sit by and watch not one moment longer. They are in a real sense, the enemy. I loathe a Democrat like I despise a terrorist, a drug dealer, a child molester or an appeaser of a foreign enemy, ALL of whom are the natural allies of the Democratic Party.
I simply do not see how ANY honorable, informed person can support what they stand for.
Now then - tell me why I'm wrong.
In the meantime, I'll be getting ready to post tomorrow's Daily Democratic War-Losing Measure.
