I am utterly in awe of Mr. Steyn's talents, and proud to be a fellow New Hampshirite. His assessment of the Democrats' conundrum is balls-on:

"Five weeks till election day and the Democratic Party's doing a dandy impression of one of those incompetent suicide bombers who accidentally self-detonates before he gets on the bus."

Beyond brilliant.

Yes, that statement sent me ROTFLOL!

However, this other statement was a tongue in cheek statement which a lot of people may not get: "after its early victories in the Pacific, the US wisely concentrated on nation-building in the Solomon Islands for five or 10 years instead of rushing on to liberate Europe".

We did, rush on to liberate Europe - we did not nation-build in the Solomon's for 5 or 10 years.

The point being - Gore says we should stay with the Afghan situation instead of "rushing on to liberate" Iraq.
