The Democrats have an idea!

The Democrats, according to Jon Henke, citing David Broder, have finally developed an Iraq Policy, and, quelle suprise!, it is the same one Bush has had all along. Those worried about Iraq becoming another Vietnam, however, should remember which party turned it into a quagmire to begin with. If nothing else, the idea of having Hillary! As commander in chief should give us a lot of incentive to bring it to an end before they can take it over and mess it up.

New polls, meanwhile, suggest that the the public sees anti-war rhetoric as harmful to the morale of our troops; more evidence for Michael Hanlon's thesis. The reflexive negativity and steadfast insistence of the media on portraying this war as a repeat of Vietnam are doing a disservice to our country. We seem now to have a core of anti-Americanism in the Democrat Party, and it's harming us. It's one thing to criticize our policy in order to make it more effective, and quite another to try to defeat it.
