Implement Krauthammer's Iraq Message

Dr. K. has pointed out what a lot of Republicans believe, that we are winning in Iraq and that Republicans can benefit from this progress.

The disconnect between what Democrats are saying about Iraq and what is actually happening there has reached grotesque proportions. Democrats won an exhilarating electoral victory in 2006 pledging withdrawal at a time when conditions in Iraq were dire and we were indeed losing the war. Two years later, when everything is changed, they continue to reflexively repeat their “narrative of defeat and retreat” (as Joe Lieberman so memorably called it) as if nothing has changed.

It is a position so utterly untenable that John McCain must seize the opportunity and, contrary to conventional wisdom, make the Iraq War the central winning plank of his campaign.

He goes on to implore action from McCain:

Give the speech, senator. Give it now.

First, this issue has the potential to let the proverbial air out of the tires in Obama's campaign.  The vehemently anti-war crowd put Obama on the map and comprise the original cornerstone of his base. 

Second, as much as I would love McCain to give Krauthammer's speech, we have seen signs that we can not trust the McCain campaign to actually implement a solid mesage.  Telling the story of success in Iraq is now a must-do action item for 527s, YouTube video-meisters, and independent activists.
