Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Democrats descend back into incoherence on Iraq with Kerry as spokesman

Stephen Spruill:

Political Teen has posted the video of that John Kerry press conference one of my readers e-mailed about earlier. Here's what Kerry said:

Secondly, this debate is note about an artificial date for withdrawal. Several times in his speech today, the president set up this straw man and then knocks it down. That's not what this debate is about.

The United States Senate had a vote — a Republican resolution and a Democrat resolution — and neither sought to seek an artificial date for withdrawal.

What it did on the Democratic side seek to do was set an estimated timetable for success which will permit the withdrawal of our troops. Everything that we have presented has been presented on the basis of how you succeed.

Ok, just so I'm clear on this: It's not a debate about a timetable for withdrawal. It's a debate about a timetable for "success which will permit the withdrawal of our troops." Is that what Kerry's trying to say?

Kerry shows why he had trouble explaining his Iraq policy during the campaign. What he and the Democrats are really wanting is a timetable for failure. Any goal not met is a to be used to hammer the President. This is an idiotic way to run a war. It is not like a manufactuaring process where you are trying to convert raw material into a product. In a raw the enemy thinks of ways to thwart your objectives and you have to deal with those moves as they occur. That Kerry and the Democrats are insisting on a timetable of any kind suggest they are too ignorant of warfare to be trusted with even advising on it.
