He said in that speech, as he has said before, that the war in Iraq has not made us safer. How did he come to that conclusion? From the piles of dead bodies of terrorists that would otherwise be busy working to kill us?
I have been both critical of McCain and the approach we have taken in Iraq. I have stated over and over again that I believe in projecting our military power punitively, not through nation building. To believe that the war in Iraq has not made us ANY safer however, is ludicrous. I just can’t believe our choices have come down to this. It would have been a good time to nominate someone like Hunter or Tancredo because Obama and Hillary are both weak.
Instead, the Democrats have this one in the bag. Either a Democrat is the next President and they win. Or, McCain is the next President, in which case they still win. It’s just a matter of degree of how much they win this time.
So then how do feel about our rebuilding Germany, Italy, and Japan after WWII and forcing democracy on them?
