Senator Brownback on Fox News Sunday. Maybe Pro and I could both vote for this guy.... CHRIS WALLACE: "Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said this week that passing this kind of resolution would embolden the enemy. Given that warning, why would you go ahead and vote for the Warner resolution anyway?" Brownback handled the answer very well (unlike a lot of ill-prepared Democrats who appear on FOX). Rather than engage Wallace on the implication that somehow he, Brownback, supports terrorism, the Senator instead answered: "I don't see this enemy as needing any more emboldening or getting it from any resolution. They're emboldened now. I was there about two weeks ago in Iraq. I was in Baghdad. I was in northern Iraq in Urbil. This is a very aggressive situation. ... I talked with [Masoud] Barzani, the head of the Kurdish group and he was sayin' he wouldn't vote for more troops to go in because you've got to first force the Sunni and the Shi'a to start sitting down and talking about a political accomodation and that's not happening."
