| "How Can You Ask a Man…" |

John F. Kerry thinks the Iraq war was a mistake and a quagmire, yet he said yesterday we shouldn't pull out. Quote, "To leave too soon would leave behind a failed state that inevitably would become a haven for terrorists, an instable state which would create its own set of problems for the Middle East itself, a problem for the region and a dangerous set back in the war against terror."
 How does that square with Kerry's question before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1971 about the Vietnam War he believed was similarly mistaken? Quote: "How do you ask a man to be the last man to die in Vietnam? How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?" You can say I shouldn't go back over 30 years, but why not? Kerry keeps bringing up Vietnam – and even put this quote from his testimony in an ad.
There's been a role reversal here. We ought to stay in Iraq now because we've gone this far and we can't just get out of there. Well, he didn't think that about the "quagmire" of Vietnam, did he? Why the discrepancy? I'll tell you why: because the country agreed with him in '71 in Vietnam, or was on its way to doing so. The country doesn't agree with him today on Iraq, and he's slowly but surely finding this out. |
