Two weeks ago, The NY Times created a lot of conversation with A War We Just Might Win By Michael E. O’Hanlon and Kenenth M. Pollack. It was a positive review of the Iraq situation from a couple of Democrats! O'Hanlon and Pollack went to Iraq and came back with good news!
Today, The NY Times has a front page story giving the anti-war left a lot to get indigestion about:
"Even as they call for an end to the war and pledge to bring the troops home, the Democratic presidential candidates are setting out positions that could leave the United States engaged in Iraq for years." (Democrats Say Leaving Iraq May Take Years )
How about that? The Dems are talking from both sides of their mouths.
Thank God for Pres. Bush. At least, he tells you where he stands!
How is Code Pink going to react to the Democrats? What are the pink ladies going to do when they realize that the Democrats have been playing games with them for years?
Seriously, what we are seeing is a bit of reality creeping into our politics. It's easy to criticize Bush. It's a lot more complicated to give us an alternative plan!
Most Democrats understand that a premature withdrawal would create a disaster. In other words, most Democrats agree with Pres. Bush on that point. Unfortunately, most Democrats do not have the courage to say that Pres. Bush is right!
