Note from the salt of the earth

[scarfman]

I half-listened to Mitch McConnell and John Kerry on Wolf Blitzer this morning. Mitch failed to convince me that the president's new plan for Iraq isn't just bigger and better what's already not working. John convinced me that the opponents to the president's plan* don't lack alternatives besides a summary pulling out. In any case, I'd like the proponents of the president's plan to try to convince me why a summary pulling out is worse than what's already not working.

* Notice I don't define the two sides of the argument by party lines. Because they aren't.
