Fighting the Last War
Like many ex-military types, failed presidential candidate Senator John Kerry (D-MA) wants to fight the war he was involved in (at least for a few months) 36 years ago. That is to say, he wants us to lose in Iraq, by pulling out before the job is done, just as we did in VietNam.
Here is the quote yesterday at Georgetown which shows how truly clueless the Junior Senator is: "We must instead simultaneously pursue both a political settlement and the withdrawal of American combat forces."
Guess what the political settlement he's talking about is. Negotiations. I know it's hard to believe--negotiations with suicide bombers, negotiations with al Qaeda in Iraq. Every time I get mad at our President for not vetoing bad spending bills or ignoring the border crisis, I try to imagine how bad it would have been under this buffoon.
How about we do this instead, Senator? We continue to do just what we are doing. We continue to hunt down and capture and kill the terrorists; we continue to provide security for the political solution (not settlement) of a republican/democratic Iraq; and, we continue to train the Iraqis to do the first two things. Then we come home to well deserved Victory parades. Sure sounds better to me.
