What CIVILIAN Leadership are you referring to??? Obviously you are not referring to the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces. So who exactly are you referring to ?
I am VERY confused. S-plain it to me ! |

"I'm not prepared to lay out a detailed policy or strategy," "It's not something you can expect in a situation that is moving this fast and has the level of detail you're looking for."
Riddle me this , Who said these words?
Hint, this guy would have been a TOP POLICYMAKER if KERRY won the election.
Point is, what alternative plans are the Dems offering this year in 2006 ?

Let me get this straight...so the idea that Richard Holbrooke (whom I admire) wasn't willing or able to lay out a magic "fix Iraq" plan nearly 3 years after the invasion in an interview is proof that we would have been doomed had Kerry been elected?
That's just silly.
The real issue isn't even Dem vs Repub. It's to flush the current neocon policy wonks out of office.
Any decent leader could do what it takes to regain our moral high ground and make objective decisions giving the operational folks a chance to make more meaningful contributions on the ground that have some staying power.

You mean the "little beady eyed pointed nose miget prick" policy, stupid? Nah, no hate for the man there. Unfortunately Spence unlike you not all of your Brethren can get beyond their hate for the man to take the time to understand policy. |

To be fair, I think those hateful words were brought about because of the policy...not the man. But I'll let the author speak for himself.
Sure there is a faction of the progressive left that does despise the person to the point where they can't think straight...in fact my sister is one of them 
But I'd argue there's an even larger segment on the right who are so vested in Bush and Company that they are lying to themselves to avoid judgement on his policy blunders on a daily basis.
Denial ain't just a river in Egypt 
Ba-dum, bump! I have another show at 11.
