————————————————————————-The President rightly insists failure in Iraq is not an option. Yet “we’re losing and can’t win” has become a mantra on the left, voiced with smug satisfaction. Former Sen. Gary Hart lectured Dan Caplis on the air the other day to stop talking about victory, stop it! Sorry to violate your PC speech code, Senator. Guess we didn’t get the memo.

** I’ll probe the issue on Sunday evening with Colorado’s two new congressmen, Republican Doug Lamborn of Colorado Springs and Democrat Ed Perlmutter of Lakewood. Killing embryos for research, socializing medicine even more, and tracking Pelosi’s power trip will be other topics for that segment.

** “Why not victory?” will be my question as well to Richard Allen, national security adviser to President Reagan, and to Diane Carman, liberal columnist of the Denver Post. We’ll also get Carman’s view on new governor Bill Ritter, Colorado’s own “man from hope,” and on the Dems’ convention coming here next year.

** Our wise elder for the Jan. 14 show is Hilmar von Campe, a onetime Hitler Youth and Panzer crewman who fled to freedom and made a new life here in Colorado. His new book “How Was It Possible?” draws a connection from Nazism and Communism to the Islamofascism of today, showing how a potentially fatal apathy has infected our response to all three. Don’t miss my interview with this truth-teller.
