"Cut-and-run" vs. "keep our promises" -- that's the way I see the way going forward in Iraq, and from that you can be sure that I do not support "cut-and-run", and will not vote for a "cut-and-run" candidate, no matter what. Abandoning the Iraqi people to Saddam's butchery was one of our most grotesque mistakes of the last century.
I don't see how either position is left, right, or center. There are plenty of people far to the right who want to cut-and-run, see, e.g., Pat Buchanan. When Bill Clinton was President, there were plenty of Democrats who supported the liberation of Iraq.
The Move-On, Talk-Left, Daily Kos democrats are a tiny minority of the country and will never amount to much other than gadflies in the side of the Body Politic. It's the reflexive position of teenagers and college kids without jobs, not married, no kids, and no houses. Most outgrow it.
But that's just my opinion. |
