On the war, there is an obvious strategy which would win the war (with victory being defined as the US remaining on the ground in Iraq at our discretion, and the government being relatively stable and relatively cooperative). George Bush has overruled it several times. It is this: arm the Kurds and the pro-Iraqi Shi'ites - the government side - and do not stand in the way as they brutally quell the Sunni insurrection, nor when they turn their power on the pro-Iranian Shi'ite militias.
This strategy would result in some really exceptional brutality, but it WOULD result, in the end, in an American victory (as defined above).
Bush has adamantly rejected this approach.
I don't want Congressmen Hunter to endorse it, or to answer what his strategy would be. To actually say that is the strategy, full out, at least before he's the nominee, would alienate a lot of people. But I do want to make sure that Hunter has heard the brief arguing for precisely that strategy.

"How can all U.S. judicial activism at every judicial level successfully be stopped for always?"

So. What would Hunter do about judicial activism (AKA, tyrants in black)? And what is Hunter's opinion about the strategy Victome just outlined?
