RNC chair Ken Mehlman has repeatedly suggested that Democrats don't want to fight the war on terror since 9/11. So it's quite a coincidence when he happened to use the verb "surrender" (rather than "renounce" or other synonyms) to describe Democrats' desire to shut down various anti-terrorism measures in a Wall Street Journal op-ed yesterday (subscription required):
In 46 days, the American people will make an important decision about how we prosecute [the war on terror]: Do we stay on the offense and use every tool available to defeat the enemy, or do we elect leaders who would weaken America and surrender key tools we need to defeat the global jihad?
"[L]eaders who would weaken America and surrender..." -- subtle.
