Incoherancy from Dems and France on Iraq
Charles Krauthammer:
"...The Democrats are not quite prepared to say that we should not be spending any money on Iraq, and they all line up for the $66 billion earmarked for ``protecting our troops'' (although, as their own Dennis Kucinich points out, the best and cheapest way to protect troops is to bring them home).
"But when it comes to the other $20-odd billion for infrastructure, the Democrats have had a field day blasting the administration. The universal theme is: Why there, and not here? "
"...The only alternative the Democrats offer -- it is another mantra -- is to 'internationalize' the problem.
"This is a very nice idea. Everyone would like to see Russia and India and, yes, France sending troops and money to rebuild Iraq. But how do the Democrats propose to persuade France to support our policy?"
This suggestion by the Dems, lacks popular support in the US, See the polling data in Henniger's piece below.
