One can flip-flop on many things.
But war is not like voting on whether toilets shall be limited to 1.6 gallons per flush. (There really is such a law.) War is final.
Fortunately, both men are wrong about being wrong. Our young men and women have not died in vain.
Establishing a democracy in the Middle East and freeing Iraqis from an Idi Amin-level dictator will go a long way toward shortening the War on Terrorism. The death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi should help.
Had the military heeded Murtha's call last November to immediate redeploy its troops out of Iraq within six months, al-Zarqawi would be alive and well and Iraq would look like Somalia, another nation where Murtha requested a U.S. redeployment.'..........

'Unfortunately for Somalia, President Clinton did just that. President Bush visited Baghdad this week as Iraq's first duly elected government in 59 years launched an effort to stabilize the nation.
Both Kerry and Murtha want a timetable for leaving Iraq. That's simple: When hell freezes over or when Iraq asks us to leave.
We still have troops in Germany, Japan, Italy and England as the result of World War II.
In April 1971, testifying before the Senate, Kerry asked: "How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?"
Now that he is in the Senate, he seems to have no problem asking men and women to do just that. He says his vote was a "mistake," but he offers nothing to make up for his "mistake."
How hollow.
Fortunately, Kerry did not become the commander-in-chief. The Iraq war is not a mistake. The American people need to stand by the people of Iraq against a terrorism that threatens them both. '

It is unreasonable to ask a dishonerable politician to be honorable. These men are toys. We should play with them. There is nothing remotely serious about them. They are silly and trivial and not worth any consideration.
Great post.
Make up what? He's been making up stuff all along.
In my book he is a distant turd.
