Superb piece...read it all with an eye toward how the politicization of the war has threatened our resolve to eliminate the scourge.
Today the Bush administration, like the Roosevelt and Truman administrations, has no alternative but to resist terrorism and the states that support terrorism.
The administration's job is made all the more difficult by the Democratic presidential candidates' cheap shots.
The candidates who supported the Iraqi war resolution and now obfuscate their support and disparage our policy are shameless opportunists who will make our policy in Iraq all the more difficult and expensive.
Of them I think Clark is the cheapest and most reckless. He is also a political greenhorn, as inexpert at explaining himself as he is impudent at lying.
Linda Chavez has some similar thoughts here...also worth reading.
Do the Democrats not understand this? With the exception of Joe Lieberman and Dick Gephardt, all of the Democratic contenders seem willing to risk losing the war in Iraq, especially if it means one of them might win the White House.
They don't want to spend the money to help rebuild Iraq.
They want our troops out of Iraq, even if we haven't finished the job.
What kind of message does this send to our enemies -- that Americans are willing to surrender when the going gets tough?
