Some conservatives have the perplexing position that being correct about the war in Iraq makes Democrats weak on national defense. First, we were dismissed as unpatriotic, or perhaps not properly "supportive" of a President who prematurely declared our mission there accomplished (which frankly still seems absurd).
Then, once we were exposed as correct by the facts on the ground, conservatives adopted the new charge that the mess was somehow our fault, by reason of improper support of a President who mismanaged nearly every aspect of the war.
My conservative friends, isn't it time you started to listen to the helps that come from reason? The solution to the war in Iraq can be paraphrased like so, "Change the friggin' course!"
The unabridged version of the solution was articulated by Senator Joseph Biden, who strikes Marshall Whitman as rather like Truman:
Intelligent Foreign Policy
I just couldn't resist a post on this subject. It's too important a speech to ignore.
