Yes. We do need to go on the offensive about race -- but first we must clean house.
Uhmmm, you don't defeat the enemy by going on offense against your own army. I cannot believe the shallow thinking going on in this issue. You don't win a war with friendly fire, now move out of the way and let the soldiers win this war.

I'm not talking about going on the offense agaisnt our own army -- okay, maybe I did when I talked about cleaning house -- but any good army purges itself of dead weight or those of uncertain loyalties -- would you have wanted the Army to be full of Communists during the Cold War?
AS far as Lott's concerned, that's more akin to firing a General who incredibly botched a campaign. Definately something we must do. Cut the man loose.

You also don't win wars with Generals who not only give the enemy the bullets to kill you with, but pin targets on everybody's chest while he's at it.
You simply promote another General and go back into battle.
