This happens frequently for me, especially when I make predictions about liberals because I know \u2019em better than they know themselves because they are not even honest with themselves. I know them, and I\u2019m honest about them. They live in little cocoons to shield themselves from not only the rest of the world, but themselves. One of the predictions I made was that the worst thing that could happen to the left is if the surge worked, if Iraq started turning around. I said, &#8216;You are going to see utter panic on the left, because they have politically invested in defeat.\u2019 Have you sensed the panic as these casualty numbers have continually dropped and numerous leaders in various provinces in Iraq have said, &#8216;Yeah, Al-Qaeda is basically gone from here, the surge is working\u2019? Investors Business Daily today is even touting David Petraeus as the ideal Republican presidential candidate! He\u2019s the guy that could win the nomination, and he can bring the country together, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. <\/p>\n<p>That is just a sign of the success that we\u2019re having, and the left is in (as I predicted) utter panic about it, not just dropping the issue from the campaign and trying to move on to other things, either. Did you hear what David Obey said? This is in The Hill: &#8216;If violence is decreasing in Iraq, it may be because insurgents &#8216;are running out of people to kill,\u2019 House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey (D-Wis.) said Monday. &#8216;There are fewer targets of opportunity,\u2019 Obey said in a speech to the National Press Club. Obey was responding to a question about reports touted by Republicans that security is improving in Iraq and that President Bush\u2019s &#8216;surge\u2019 strategy is working. He stressed that military success has not led to political reconciliation. &#8216;The issue has never been military,\u2019 Obey said. &#8216;The issue has always been political improvement.&#8221; No, it\u2019s not <emphasize>been<\/emphasize>. You keep shifting what\u2019s important. When &#8216;all of our soldiers,\u2019 quote, unquote, &#8216;were dying,\u2019 it was the political mission that was bad and it was botched and it wasn\u2019t working. We gotta get out. Now it started working and the panic sets in, &#8216;We\u2019re just running out of people to kill.\u2019 David Obey says the terrorists are running out of people to kill. They cannot bring themselves to admit, and they can\u2019t allow anybody else to understand, what\u2019s happening in Iraq is a huge turnaround. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: By the way, another prediction that I made, ladies and gentlemen, is beginning to come to fruition.
