Party of Defeat: How Democrats and Radicals Undermined America's War on Terror Before and After 9-11

In this thoroughly researched and heavily footnoted book, Horowitz and Johnson set forth and explicate with exacting precision the relentless campaign the American Left and the Democratic Party have pursued to discredit George W. Bush and the War on Islamic Fascism. Unfortunately many, if not most Americans have forgotten the details of how the Democrats and the Left have undermined our country's response to Islamic radicals beginning with the Carter administration. The authors clearly organize their thesis into 5 sections: The Path to 9-11, The Response to 9-11, Why America Went to War, The War Against the War, and Conclusion. They demonstrate with unassailable factual narrative how Presidents Carter and Clinton, in concert with an anti-war leftist establishment and willing accomplices both in the mainstream media and the Democratic Party refused to confront our enemies, leading inexorably to the 9-11 attacks. This was itself inexcusable, but it was unfortunately only a prelude to the shocking and unprecedented betrayal of our forces in the field - first in Afghanistan, then in Iraq. The Democrats first voted to authorize military action in Iraq using the same intelligence information the President had at his disposal, and then not only rescinded their support of our military while they were actively engaged in battle, but launched a full-scale political attack on their commander-in-chief, branding him a liar and a war criminal. This despicable and treasonous behavior has fractured America's resolve, damaged our troops' morale, and weakened the President's ability to prosecute the war. Top-ranking Democratic leaders have demonstrated by their statements and actions that they fail utterly to understand the nature of this war and its implications. Every American owes it to themselves to become familiar with this material so that they can combat the misinformation campaign being waged internally - if unwittingly by some - on behalf of our enemies. Horowitz and Johnson have produced a tour de force analysis of what is quite possibly the most serious political betrayal in American history.

Americans who care about the future of our country and the future of freedom in the democracies of the world must read Party of Defeat by Horowitz and Johnson. The book follows the events leading up to the War on Terror and the events that followed. The authors prove with hard evidence and meticulous documentation that the War in Iraq was a necessary war and one that was supported by Democrats and Republican and most Democracies around the globe. The authors show though exact quotes and voting records how the Democrats in congress have undermined America's ability to win the war from the first few weeks into the conflict. The President and Commander in Chief has been under relentless attacks from the Democrats and their sympathizers in the main stream media. They show how the Democrats have provided our enemies with enormous propaganda to hurt America's standing in the world, and how their words and actions have demonized our military. Our freedom is a fragile thing that has been paid for by the lives of countless men and women over the years since the nations founding. Islamic extremists do not believe in human freedom and their goal is to establish a religious caliphate and spread radical Islam around the world. Democrats think that to abandon Iraq and bring our soldiers home will be the end of the war. All you have to do to realize this will not happen is to listen to the words of our enemies. War will be brought to American soil and nothing will stop the radicals from pursuing their goal of world domination. America must wake up to this threat. Every great civilization has eventually been brought down by barbarians who have no respect for life or freedom. Will we leave Iraq to these barbarians? Will we let the radicals grow stronger until they have nuclear bombs? The Iranian President has threatened to wipe Israel off the map and to do the same to America whom he calls the big Satan. These radicals are haters and if given the chance will kill anyone who does not agree with them. The Party of Defeat is the most important book of 2008 and every American should read it and then decide which political party will protect this country and which one will surrender to the terrorists.

With clarity and logic, together with detailed documented facts, Horowitz and Johnson trace the history of terrorism in America, and the responses of Democratic leaders to the nation's decision to defend herself decisively. Initially, Democrats recognized the threat, but eventually turned on the very decisions they had made, and the logic they followed, to knife our President and our military in the back. This recounting of the history of events up to 9/11 and subsequently shouldn't even be necessary. Anyone who has kept his eyes and ears open is aware of the facts. But many Americans insist on being willfully ignorant. Democrats have chosen to engage in treasonous actions for political gain. The two authors point out that the rationale for the invasion of Iraq was based, not on the likelihood of Weapons of Mass Destruction existing in Iraq at the time, but on the evident intent and actions of Saddam to pursue the production of such weapons, and use them. And in addition, Saddam used WMD on his own people, killing hundreds of thousands, and the Iranians. Facts that show this are outlined clearly. Saddam had been given a truce, but the condition was that he would agree not to pursue WMD, and repeatedly Saddam broke this truce. The United States was patient for many years. Clinton saw the need to deal with him and said so. We also became aware that Saddam WAS cooperating with al Qaeda in particular, and terrorists in general. He was also moving with full steam to develop the very weapons programs he had agreed not to pursue. Going into Iraq was NOT for the purpose of harming the nation or the Iraqi people. It was strictly for the purpose of getting Saddam out of power. Numerous attempts to get him to comply with his treaty or step down and go into exile failed. The way in which the United States conducted the war showed that the intent was to depose Saddam, and every care was taken to protect the people of Iraq. In the disinformation campaign that followed, a typical accusation was that the Baghdad Museum had been looted of 170,000 artifacts. In reality, there were only 170,000 artifacts total, most of which had been removed for safekeeping by staff. Only a few dozen were lost. But this type of information was never corrected, and was used to condemn President Bush. Also ignored was the fact that Saddam released all the criminals before he was deposed. Much of the subsequent violence was caused by these criminals. Disinformation was rampant, including that perpetrated by Joseph Wilson, who claimed that documents concerning purchase of yellowcake from Niger were forged months before he would have had access to them. Repeatedly, the authors show how the left used lies of their own to defame the President, who had been telling the truth all along. The complicity of MoveOn.org, Cindy Sheehan, other fellow travelers, and the media is also discussed. The book shows that the Red Cross and our military were also dragged through the mud.

David Horowitz is waging his own war against the political correctness of the left wing that has run amok! As always his work is well documented and should be read by every American. The looney left has taken control of the Democratic Party and it would appear that many Democrats are not aware that this is so. Look what they did to Joe Lieberman who speaks for most of Middle America! Wake up!

The Democratic Party leader, Franklin D. Roosevelt, helped to save civilization during WWII. Sadly, our current Democrats are often dishonest pacifists who constantly apologize for being American. They are back stabbers who never hesitate to blame their own country for the murderous rage of our enemies. To be blunt: far too many Democrats are self hating Americans. This state of mind is especially dangerous while we are engaged in an existential struggle to the death against Islamic nihilism. David Horowitz and Ben Johnson painstakingly reveal the extent of their subconscious betrayal of the United States. And please note that I'm distinguishing between subconscious and overt betrayal. These people are deluding themselves to the point where they are no longer in touch with reality. They now embrace a cultural milieu built on the quicksand of postmodernist fantasy. "Party of Defeat" is a harsh reminder of just how important is the near future elections. I am utterly convinced that the country is doomed if the Democrats capture the White House. You are likely to come to the same conclusion after reading this important book. After all, Senator Joseph Lieberman, for all practical purposes, has been excommunicated. Only the tacitly traitorous remain.
