I was watching the Fox roundtable discussion with the topic being that John Edwards will not support the current plan to spend the $87 billion dollars on the war on terror and the rebuilding of Iraq. His sticking point is the $20 billion earmarked for the rebuilding of Iraq. Dean and some of the other Democratic candidates agree with this position. The Fox panel (especially Morton Kondrake – non-conservative) was then reaching the logical conclusion that the Democrats are for the status quo in Iraq and that gives our military no hope of ever scaling back. All we’d do is be a police force while the country never gets rebuilt. Yep, great idea guys!
Let’s just support the rebuilding of Iraq. If not, it will be used against you in 2004. It’s time for some Democrats to get on the right side of history.
