Ace of Spades has a post on Jonah Goldberg's and William Kristol's columns (the link is broken and I can't find Kristol's link) discussing the Democrat plans for Iraq. Their characterizations leave Dems looking even less impressive than before.
Says Ace:
I'm not calling them cowards because they won't support the war. They're liberals -- they don't believe in war. They believe in "aggressive, take-no-prisoners diplomacy."
I'm calling them moral cowards, consigning hundreds of men to die for a "lie," because they believe (they say) the war is unwinnable and yet will not actually act to spare any of these men.
They'd like Bush to do their cutting and running for them -- so they don't get blamed for a loss. But if Bush won't oblige them, well then, those several hundred new US casualties will just have to die for nothing at all in order to vindicate the greater cause of electing a Democratic president in '08.
At least President Bush wants to send additional troops to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. But what the Dems are doing could be worse.
