An excellend diary from VirginiaDem at DailyKos

With all due respect to Laura Bush, I don't think Rove and Drudge give a hoot about her. What they are afraid of is what conservative blogger Andrew Sullivan noticed. George Bush just abandoned a U.S. soldier behind enemy lines on the order of Iraq's government. I'll let conservative blogger Andrew Sullivan explain why this is what we should be screaming about right now:

The U.S. military does not have a traditional of abandoning its own soldiers to foreign militias, or of taking orders from foreign governments. No commander-in-chief who actually walks the walk, rather than swaggering the swagger, would acquiesce to such a thing.... And where, by the way, is McCain on this? ... Silent recently on Iraq. But vocal - oh, how vocal - on Kerry.


Even worse, Bush has the gall to attack Kerry about supporting our troops while Bush literally abandons them on the battlefield. Ignore Mrs. Bush - focus on this dereliction of duty.

1. Makes me wonder if the Kerry hoo-haw is just a coincidence.
It was a really cute way of burying the news from Iraq. I wonder why Kerry hasn't thought to mention this?
