Dimwit Democrat: Terrorists "Running out of People to Kill"

Democrats are becoming increasingly bizarre in trying to rationalize why we're having so much recent success in Iraq.

Wisconsin's David Obey has completely crossed over from willful denial of reality to sheer insanity.

If violence is decreasing in Iraq, it may be because insurgents “are running out of people to kill,” House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey (D-Wis.) said Monday.

“There are fewer targets of opportunity,” 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’s “surge” strategy is working. He stressed that military success has not led to political reconciliation.

I guess it hasn't occured to this idiot we're taking out the bad guys wherever they may be.

In his speech Monday, he stuck by his pledge not to approve any more money for the war until President Bush changes course on Iraq. He also offered a spirited defense of a new surtax to pay for the Iraq war, admitting that he knew it wouldn’t pass when he offered his support for the plan.

Is he even aware what's going on in Iraq and that we changed course already this year?
