He addresses the Lipinski-Kirk plan to let George Bush run out the clock
Yet Lipinski and Kirk, who acknowledge the Bush Administration made mistakes that undermined public support for the war, want people to believe their government now will tell the truth and make no more mistakes.
Having listened for more than an hour to Lipinski, Kirk and the two ambassadors detail the multiple and massive failings of the U.S. war in Iraq, I find it difficult to place continued faith in our ability to do the right thing.
Kirk said what most interests him is doing the right thing by our troops who continue to serve in Iraq.
I would agree.
And I think the right thing to do is to bring them home now.
As Lipinski might say, that is the least bad solution.
One of the frustrations I have is that people are saying just now that it’s such a different country. This seems obvious, but at the same time if that’s what is making them realize the folly of staying, so be it.
“Kirk said what most interests him is doing the right thing by our troops who continue to serve in Iraq.”
I could never figure out these guys who say they’re “standing by” our troops when all they’re doing is sending them to die in Iraq.
