Wish Kerry would say, "I'll say the surge worked . . . " |
|
"when you say the war in Iraq was a mistake."
Ain't going to happen.

2. Especially when it's framed in the "Who would be better . . . |
|
. . . qualified to lead the country on foreign policy?" I mean, one guy supported a pre-emptive war based on obvious lies, saying it would be a good thing - the other guy doubted the efficacy of a desperation move, the efficacy of which is in serious doubt to this day.
Which is worse?

6. True, but it's a challenge that would never be taken anyway. |
|
So the risk is very low that he'd actually have to SAY it.
But you're right, just SAYING he'd say it would mean what? That his mind can be changed? Hmmm.
Politics is a sticky business. I'll stick to bean counting.

8. Also Kerry will not say the surge worked because he doesn't agree |
|
and he does agree the war was a mistake.

7. Kerry deserves a little more credit |
|
He did say, as early as January 2003, that we also need "regime change at home," heavily criticizing the administrations diplomacy before the fighting began.

9. You missed my intention - I quite agree with you |
|
Kerry also said more than a month before the war not to "rush to war" and was attacked by the Republicans as anti-war.
I was meaning that Kerry agrees with the war was a mistake - and he completely disagrees with the surge having worked.

Oh well, it was an idea.
It just drove me crazy, though, to see Lieberman still pushing and pushing on that ridiculous SURGE meme. Ugh.
