The Ship of Fools

This is a great analysis of the latest debate by the Democratic Dopefulls.

Excerpt:

With the exception of Lieberman and Gephardt, the foreign and defense policy of the remaining candidates was simply “cut and run.” The remaining candidates claimed to be against the Iraqi invasion or believe that they were voting for something other than an invasion of Iraq. They must have thought that the Peace Corps was going to land in Baghdad and persuade Saddam Hussein to be a nice guy.

Never mind that weapons of mass destruction do not have to be huge nuclear arsenals but can be small and equally lethal vials of deadly biological agents. What a surprise that in a country the size of California we have not found these agents. Even more outrageous, we know that France gave passports to ex-Hussein leaders to cross the border into Syria.

Most repulsive is the candidacy of Wesley Clark. Hiding behind his four stars, he berates the Administration for policies that he did, in fact, endorse until his presidential ambitions took hold of him. He has flip-flopped so many times on his assessment of the wisdom of the Iraqi invasion that he should be a contortionist in the circus rather than a candidate for President.

The fact that the Clinton administration was responsible for sleeping at the switch regarding Iraq’s violations, the growth of Al-Quaida or the development of North Korean nuclear capability was conveniently forgotten during the entire debate.

I think President Bush can rest easy given his rag-tag group of opponents. Of course, if the economy were to tank -- even the most egregious pond scum could get elected.

Anyway, go read the whole article.
