"A president who thought we needed 'permission' from the U.N. to do anything about Iraq?" the staffer, a longtime Democrat, asked incredulously. "And who thought apparently we would only join a multilateral force if asked to by the U.N. rather than trying to nudge the U.N. to do it? Acquiescence not leadership? This is something to be filed jointly under 'Karl Rove will eat this guy alive' and 'not ready for primetime.'" We can hope that the other candidates stay close enough to read Doc Dean's license plate between now and the election. They're producing great stuff and paying for it with Dem dollars - doesn't get much better than that.
Once Doc thinks he's got it wrapped up, he'll swing the Titanic to the middle and all the DemRats will start paddling in his direction.
I don't know how much longer this can last, but I'm lovin' it. ;-)
"Halperin and other aides to Secretary of Defense Les Aspin opposed the U.S. military's request for heavy armor in Somalia because they feared it "would appear too offensive-oriented."
I remember these idiots.
We were in Badera Somolia guarding access to the town bridge. We weren't allowed to dig in (fighting holes for us & our LAVs) because it "would make us look like an occupying force".
We weren't allowed to clear an obvious sniper tower 800 meters away for the same reason.
We checked vehicles for weapons... on Tuesdays & Thursdays. Every other day was a freebie. And we gave the town advance notice of this!
Idiots.
