When Will the Bush Administration Get It?
Senator Kerry’s excellent op-ed piece today correctly puts the onus on the Iraqi government, not the U.S., to resolve the impasse in forming the government and stopping the civil war. Unless the Iraqis get serious about governing their own country and solving their own problems, we will have to leave. The role of the U.S. military is not to referee a civil war.

Good for John: Attaboy!
John Kerry’s argument in today’s New York Times hits the nail on the head.

When asked in exit polls if they “Approved or Disaproved with the Decision to Go To War in Iraq” 52% of Americans approved, only 46% disapproved. I’ve written before...
Washington Post Gets It Wrong Even When It Gets It Right
Leave it to the WaPo to reguritate conventional wisdom about the Democrats and/or Kerry. The conventional Washington widom these days is that Democrats have no new ideas. Finally, Michael Grunwald points out that 1994 and the GOP Contract With America was: “the annunciation moment for the Church of New Ideas, alleged proof that a bold agenda can turn the partisan tide. In recent months, as Reid and Pelosi repeatedly delayed the rollout of their new strategy, pundits repeatedly contrasted...
