Leadership On Iraq

John Kerry has drawn a line in the sands of Iraq and has forcefully and specifically laid down a marker for the administration, the Democratic party, and the nation.

No other public official to date has had the courage to face the truth, that Iraqi democracy is now, finally, up to the Iraqi people, not the United States.

The Bush administration must now be required to respond to the Kerry time-table, to refute it with more than slogans and rhetoric, and to tell the American people, once and for all, when and how we intend to extricate ourselves from this Vietnam-in-the-desert.

Other Democratic leaders must now be heard on the question of whether they agree or disagree

Nice work Gary! High five man.

1. Wow. This is so great.

It's good to see Hart backing the Senator this way. Excellent.



I saw this yesterday, Hart commenting on Kerry's observations re perm bases in Iraq.

2. One comment, and it's really ugly. n/t

3. I flagged it as abusive

(which it was). But who knows what that means? Good backup from Hart!

4. It's Arsehole day over there. Who knew?

I would have brought camomile tea with me instead of raw meat. Sigh! I tried for a comment, but HP is iffy.

7. These people

some cynical bastards.

5. After hitting the abuse button about 6 times, I left a comment

The thing is that Arianna Huffington, who I will admit serves a purpose in political discourse, will never support Democrats. That is not her agenda. We just have to realize this, and accept it, but still try to use her site to promote Democrats in general and Kerry in particular.

6. How true.

Yesterday there was a post about the Democrats abandoning Feingold. Isn't it clear that the thing is in committee and no vote is scheduled? Of course, the piece included a snarky remark about Kerry.

Those people, like the first poster to the Hart piece, are losers.

8. Excellent post!

I held my nose, signed up at Huffington Post and posted. Now we'll see if they publish my comment. :-)

9. Well I had to.

10. Sometimes you just have to give it to them!

You have to do what you have to do!
