I write:

Hmmmmmm ... during the presidential debates, which candidate sounded the alarm about Iran's nuclear weapons program, framing the Iraq debacle as a debacle largely because it diverted US attention from the two other vertices in the triangle of evil? And which candidate demanded more boots on the ground in Iraq now, so that Fallujah could be subdued quickly and decisively? Even if you dismiss these remarks as so much bluster designed to skim a few votes in swing states (a dubious proposition), at the very least isn't it fucking shameful how far to the right the Dumbocrats are willing to push public discourse in order to get into office? And won't there be immense pressure on a Dumbocrat-controlled foreign policy apparatus, if elected, to make good on its preventive war _promises_?
